I love beans and soak them in water with baking soda overnight. I rinse them well next day. The baking soda cuts gas way down. Hope this is helpful for you.

I'm from Nigeria and yes, we love beans😀. Personally it's my favourite thing to eat. We eat it with rice, bread, sweet potato, plantain, etc. We also blend it and make bean cakes and bean fritters. It's the diabetes meal of choice in Nigeria and typically diabetics eat it on it's own in pottage or porridge form. Hits the spot every single time 😋😉

I am of Indian (India) origin, living in U S A for over 45 years. I am vegetarian. But we us We make curries with split dry beans, add vegetables to them. And we sprout the beans (like Moong, Lentils, Chickpeas, green peas etc. For sprouting, put them in water for about 6 to 8 hours, then place them on a cotton cloth and tie them, cover them under a cover and keep it in a warm place for another 8 to 10 hours. Then we cook them with seasonings and spices or mix them uncooked in the salads. Dr. Ergin I regularly watch your Videos. They are very very helpful. You explain every thing very nice way. Please keep it up. Thank you so much for all the advice.

I crock pot cooked some beans today and they were great. Added some Pico de Gallo, garlic, and Turmeric with bacon for flavor. After my weight training session, it was a great meal.

I don't know why this wasn't mentioned, but soaking beans overnight will release the gases. On the slow carb diet, you eat half of cup of beans minimum every meal, so thats a LOT of beans. I've never experienced gas issues after soaking them everynight. And its practical too, cause you can soak and cook one big batch of beans all at once. May be anecdotal, but it literally works for me.

As a vegan, I eat beans everyday and have lost over 90 pds in the past year. Life changing. Awesome fiber. It has never spiked my blood sugars.

Boiled red/black beans with a small piece of ginger and garlic. Soaking the beans after washing them is good before boiling. Great video doc💕

[indexplus]

When you say a cup or half, please specify if you are talking cooked or dry. I suggest we talk about dry because the gravy and water can mean different amounts for the same cup

Thank you doctor for your videos. I cannot thank you enough for your educational videos.

My favorite food is Rice & Beans with Sausage and Cornbread. I would eat it 5-6 days a week. If I had only 1 food to eat, it would be Rice & Beans. Got type 2 diabetes and had cut them out, cold turkey. I hate diabetes because I can't eat my favorite food. Wish there was a pill that would let me eat Rice & Beans.

[violetgibson]

This is lots of information in easy to understand terms. I am very glad for the access. Thanks! 😃👍

I love beans, I put zucchini, spinach, bell pepper, onions garlic and broccoli and more when I make it. Always season it well with cumin, cayenne pepper, chicken bullion, and more. It’s such a filling meal and you won’t even need rice or bread.

I make homemade chicken soup. instead of potato and rice I substitute with white northern beans. My sugars are much better.

As a type 2 diabetic (not obese, 5ft8 male 155 lbs bf 18-20%...can't see abs but not much belly fat), is 1/3 cup of beans a good serving per day? Is it worth it to prepare and cook such a small amount? I'm on a low carb diet (but I take net carbs/fiber into account) but will eat slightly more carbs if I plan to be active about 20-30 minutes after the meal (to start burning energy and lower blood glucose) levels.

I lost 130lbs eating mainly beans out of a can. I would eat a piece of meat with it or cheese. I also drank a lot of water. Beans are bland yet have protein, fiber, and carbs. You don't crave un-spiced beans. I ate them slowly, didn't fret over what I was going to eat. Sometimes I would eat a couple scoops of peanut butter instead. And I even ate a lot of frozen Bean and Cheese burritos and still lost weight.
