Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / March 2008Beans in dietician recommend recipe..
that are NOT red kidney beans? Never seen one in over 20 years. Has anyone seen a dietitican recommended bean dish that uses something other than red kidney beans? > that are NOT red kidney beans? > > Never seen one in over 20 years. > Has anyone seen a dietitican recommended bean dish that uses something > other than red kidney beans? I haven't seen a dietician recommended bean dish to begin with. But my dad took a diabetes education class and they recommended black beans. Why? I don't know. > "Terryc" <newsthreespam-spam@woa.com.au> wrote in message > > that are NOT red kidney beans? > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > dad took a diabetes education class and they recommended black beans. > Why? I don't know. Although they're high in carbs, most of it's fiber, so tne 'net carbs' are low. Also, they digest slow, so their GI is low. Besides, they taste good. Recipe on demand. ;-)  SignatureNick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families! I've known US vets who served as far back as the Spanish American War. They are all my heroes! Thank a Veteran and Support Our Troops. You are not forgotten. Thanks ! ! ~Semper Fi~ >> "Terryc" <newsthreespam-spam@woa.com.au> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > low.

I love black bean soup (and also black beans in salads), and they do not have a negative effect on my BG. So, if you have a couple of good recipes, pleas post them!

Speaking of lentils, does anyone have a recipe for breakfast lentils? since cereal has become no-no, Bacon and eggs every morning is not that appealing. : > Generally, the smaller the bean, the more fiber.

Try my cotage cheese, small amounts of reletively low carb fruis and plain yogut, along with your coffee. This breakfas works very well for me, using 3 -4 fruits in very small amounts, like 1/6 mango, 2-3 strawberries, 2-3 big blackberries, handful of blueberries, 1/4 ofr of small apple, half a clentine (small) orange half apeach, 1 apricot, a smile slice of canteloupe, etc. Wendy >> Generally, the smaller the bean, the more fiber.

I can't cope with lentils in the morning - too carby for me - but I enjoy linseed porridge, or occasionally use the mixture to make pancakes. The mix is (approximately - I don't measure too carefully): 1 cup linseed - makes about 1 1/2 cups when ground 1/2 cup almonds and/or brazil, ground couple of scoops of protein powder (I use whey) 1/4 cup wheat or oat bran cinnamon and sweetener to taste I make up about a 1/4 cup with a bit more volume of boiling water, and let it sit for a couple of minutes whilst I'm running round in the morning. If I fancy pancakes, it's a couple of dessertspoonfuls mixed with an egg. HTH, Nicky.

They keep for ages whole, but not very long ground, so I do about a week's supply at a time and keep the mix in the fridge. Nicky.

Still gotta watch the quantities. Yes, I like lentils, too. I don't have a recipe, but I enjoy lentil soup when I have the opportunity. I need to check for some "quick 'n easy" bean soup recipes.

Hmm, not exactly lentils but "pease pottage", dried split peas boiled until still slightly al dente then added to the frypan as the bacon (and mushrooms) are nearly done might work. Never tried it for breakfast, it takes too long to cook, but works well for me at other times of day, the flavours go together well : >> Generally, the smaller the bean, the more fiber.

[quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Ever try it in the pot, nine days old? <G> There used to be a village near where I used to live, the locals were in constant argument as to whether it was Peas Pottage or Pease Pottage, god knows how much they spent on road signs I'm just wondering if soaking the peas overnight might speed up the cooking like it does for beans |
