Beans
I love beans! Its almost perfect, it contains protein, carbohydrates, fiber and essential B vitamins. One of the best part is beans as a carbohydrate has such a low glycemic index that it isn’t enough to cause much of an insulin response. If you recall, insulin blunts the body’s ability to burn fat since its a storage hormone——> so beans is great if you’re on a low carbohydrate diet trying to shed fat fast. However, beans is an incomplete protein because it doesn’t have certain essential amino acids (the building block of proteins). The good news is combining beans and rice form a complete protein.
