Who else developed carb fear from keto or paleo and now thrives eating beans and lentils?
We were told they’d “put holes in our gut” and contained “too many carbs”. 🙄
I am not saying beans and lentils are for everyone, like any food. I strongly believe in bio-individuality.
The thing is for many people beans and lentils are superfoods when tolerated.
They are also profoundly helpful for detoxification support and oestrogen clearance.
When prepared properly beans and lentils can nourish and offer us fibre, amino acids, folate, magnesium and resistant starch. The key is to start low and slow.
I wrote an article about the power of fibre for detox, particularly soluble fibre and the power of legumes!
