Eat beans lose weight and go crazy – Payson Roundup

Lose Weight Comments Off on Eat beans lose weight and go crazy – Payson Roundup

In my lifelong search for the magic diet bullet, I stumbled upon pulses also known as legumes.

This information both fascinated and terrified me. I mean pulses have some side effects Im not sure I can live with.

The research, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, shows a daily dose of three-quarters of a cup of a pulse will effortlessly allow people to lose almost a pound of weight.

So, after trying those strange Paleo and Atkins diets, seems eating beans will do it but youll have to swear off psychiatric drugs and find a partner who doesnt mind if you toot.

Yeah. Pulses mess with meds and the digestive system.

Ever wonder why Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs said, I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti,?

A psychiatrist himself, the charming cannibal was being clever, since beans, wine and liver can all affect certain psychiatric meds which he clearly wasnt taking.

Kind of a chilling medical joke but then the tooting can put a damper on things, too.

Still, pulses have been part of humanitys diet for around 5,000 years, since they include lentils, chickpeas, beans, peas, mesquite, carob, soybeans, peanuts and tamarind.

Archaeologists have found evidence of pulses in stone-age dwellings and Egyptian tombs proof that we can overcome any side effects for a good source of protein, fiber and minerals.

In fact, the United Nations declared 2016 the International Year of Pulses.

And now in addition to reducing heart disease and diabetes, the magic beans can help you lose weight.

To top that all off, pulses save the soil.

The roots of legume plants host bacteria that pull nitrogen from the atmosphere.

Nitrogen serves an essential part of the protein making process and so fertilizes the soil.

Once pulse plants die, the remaining roots release the nitrogen into the soil making it more fertile. Farmers often rotate in a pulse crop to give their soil a boost.

Some even go so far as to call it green manure.

Makes me crazy all this bathroom humor.

Chipotle Lentil Tacos with Avocado and MicroGreens

1-1/2 cups vegetable broth

1 minced chipotle in adobo sauce (comes in a can at the grocery store)

1 to 2 tablespoons of the adobo sauce, divided

1/2 avocado, cut into small cubes

1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon honey or brown rice syrup

1 to 2 ounces cotija, feta or goat cheese

Rinse the lentils. Place them in a sauce pan with the broth, minced chipotle, 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, lime juice, salt, cumin and coriander. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer; cover and cook until lentils are tender but not mushy, 22 to 25 minutes. Taste and add more adobo sauce, if youd like more heat.

Combine the avocado and microgreens. In a small bowl, beat together lime juice, honey and olive oil. Pour over the microgreens and avocado, tossing until greens are coated. Divide the lentil mixture among the tortillas. Top with the avocado salad, crumbled cheese and minced cilantro.
