Bean question
 

Ok, I love beans. And I am addicted to the Black Bean Brownies...so I know that one of the food lists says to limit beans to about 1/2 - 3/4 cup a day....I don't think I am getting enough fiber thru my veggie intake. How flexible is the bean intake limit? I am probably doing the range now, but would like to maybe take it up to a full cup. Any ideas or suggestions?

The ph1 list says to start with 1/3-1/2 cup. That is all it says as far as limitations. I don't think that is intended to be a limit, but rather a guideline so you don't overdo it right away.

I agree with Heather. :yes: I think if you're losing at a rate that's satisfactory to you, you could try upping it by 1/2 cup or so, but keep a close eye on the scale. ;)

I was actually thinking more for the, erm, digestive disturbance it causes! But good point about the scales.

I made split pea soup the other day and the scale has actually come down since I had it....I didn't know there was a 1/2 cup limit in phase 2??
They say Wendys chilli is one thing you can have too...oh well...back to the drawing board. :(

That was phase 1, and it didn't say it was a limit - it said to start with that.

Sorry for not being more clear :) !
