Straight out of college and having lived off a diet of cereal,pasta, and bagels, and I was having major stomach issues,so I thought gluten was the culprit. When I gave it up, I wanted to replace it with something that felt just as comforting as a bowl of noodles, and so I turned to rice.
For lunch,I would cook up one cup of rice and add one can of beans. That was lunch for two days. TWO DAYS. Holy carb overload. You would enjoy thought I was training for a marathon. I did this for about a year and ended up getting pretty chunky, when I was actually trying to lose weight! I wish someone had told me not to make these three mistakes. Portion Control!While rice and beans is full of fiber and protein, and I was probably eating twice the amount I should enjoy been. I should enjoy read and followed the serving sizes suggested on the packages and divided that lunch into four containers instead of two.

Why It Took Me 5 Years to Lose 40 Pounds - Don't Make These MistakesNo VeggiesBeans do count as veggies,but since they're tall in calories and carbs, they definitely should not enjoy been the only veggie in my bowl. I should enjoy cooked those beans up with red peppers, and carrots,mushrooms, broccoli, and corn,and kale. Or perhaps had a gargantuan salad and plopped a few spoonfuls of rice and beans on top to make it more filling. Or perhaps I should enjoy discovered veggie-packed alternatives and made this cauliflower rice and beans! Veggies are low in calories, tall in fiber, and tall in water content,so they would enjoy satisfied my appetite without causing weight gain. No FatFor someone reason, I was convinced that eating fat would make me fat. But on the opposite, and healthy fats can make you feel fuller longer,so they can back with weight loss. I should enjoy added a few slices of avocado on top or added some dressing and sliced almonds to a side salad.
