I’m trying to go veg and like them a lot
I remember my brief stint with going veg was marked by the softest, stickiest shits I've ever had in my life, in no small part due to the beans I was eating daily. I think there's even a daily recommended serving like with nuts or whatever. Anyway, I once had a neighbor who told me that the stickier a man's shits, the healthier he is. Never before had another human being's words brought such a graphic and visceral image to my mind
I eat mostly beans and there are ways to mitigate this also your gut gets better at handling it, let me know if you want my top tips lmao
Like I’m sure there’s some kind of bean disease you get if you eat five kilos of beans a day, but generally speaking beans are good for you and tasty as fuuuuuck
hell yeah it is comrade. Join me, join the beanpilled.
also re: poopstuff, your tum will even out to the increased fiber in a few days - 1 week tops. Then you'll be shitting pretty, by which i mean, easy clean poops that leave very little if any residue.
It's absolutely healthy, but your stomach will need a while to adjust to increased fiber intake. Also, some ppl with IBS like me do not tolerate legumes well, e.g. lentils usually give me the runs. But if you're not experiencing digestive issues then fuck yeah it's super healthy, loads of protein and iron
Here is the nutrition data for 1800 cal worth of pinto beans. The most glaring deficiency is vitamin C, and also healthy fats. It looks like a healthy amount of protein, , and sufficient iron.
So, along with some produce and good fat sources you're doing pretty well.
I eat a lot of fresh peppers. So produce I guess.
Fats... uhhhh I like sour cream a lot.
What I’m gathering from this is I should just eat chili all the time.
Take a Vitamin C, D, and B12 supplement regardless.
And chock your beans with olive oil and less salt, saw that pro-tip here the other day.
Also stop eating sour cream it's an animal cruelty product and you're better than that.

Look dude going full vegetarian is turning out to be tough enough for me. Full vegan is a bridge I’m nowhere near crossing yet.
If you're eating beans and milk all the time, please supplement omega 3. Half an avocado, some chia seeds, a flax oil pill, copious amounts of olive oil
sprout your beans. It reduces fermentables and also increases protein bioavailability
probably will change the texture yeah.
I find that when I sprout beans they aren't as mushy and pasty. They become more solid somehow, even after being fully cooked.
How dare you imply it isn't
Take 8 hours and come back when you learn to use this can opener
Beans = good protein decent fiber and some micronutrients just don’t forget veggies. Also lentils for bonus points, even better!
You peeps have any suggestions for cheap and tasty bean recipes beyond chill saus or some taco and beans combo?
Toss cooked chickpeas in a tiny bit of oil and smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes at 400° F. Great over greens or in a wrap.
Another favorite, is just tossing a bunch of red lentils in a pan with some onions, sweet potatoes, cumin, veggie stock or water, curry powder, coconut milk (real coconut milk in a can, not the emulsified milk substitute you buy in cartons.) at the end when the lentils are mostly cooked, throw in some frozen spinach or kale.
