When it comes to losing weight, and especially when you want to do it fast and lose weight now, one of the biggest worries is feeling hungry. No one wants to spend the next few weeks/months feeling hungry all the time. So what if I told you that there's a way to lose weight fast AND feel like you've eaten a lot? And not only is it simple, it's cheap, it works and you can start doing it straight away.

Trying to find information about weight loss, especially about how to lose weight quickly, can seem like a mine field. The problem is that you don't want to spend a lot of money, you don't want to be hungry, you don't want to worry about health and you want to lose weight right now. So how can you accomplish losing weight fast and feel full and do it cheaply?

The answer is simple. Beans. Yep, that's it. Not exciting, not fascinating yet so simple you won't believe it.

When it comes to eating most people mistakenly believe that they have to eat lots of meat to stay healthy. Animal flesh contains protein and therefore it's easy to think that if you don't eat a lot of meat you won't be getting enough protein.

But do you know that the food that contains the highest amount of protein is the humble bean. Not only that, but it has the added benefit of not containing all the saturated fat and cholesterol that meat does. Even eating chicken means you're consuming far more protein than your body needs which can lead to kidney problems and osteoporosis.

But by eating less meat and more beans you can not only lose weight fast, but you won't feel hungry.
You can implement this dietary change by having less meat/pizza/pasta on your plate and having vegetables and beans with your meal instead. Vegetables are another excellent source of protein (and fibre) and contain no fat or cholesterol.

And you can add more vegetables and beans to your diet in so many ways:
Add them to soup
Create and vegetable and bean pasta dish
Add them to a hearty chili
Have them in a wrap
Add vegetables and beans to your salad
Add them to sandwiches
Add them to stir fry noodles or rice
Just add vegetables and beans, lots of beans, to as many of your meals as you can.
You can buy beans in cans - butter beans, navy beans, broad beans, kidney beans, 4-bean mix, chick peas... the list seems endless. Or you can buy dried beans and cook them yourself. I like to soak dried beans in water overnight, cook them and then freeze them in containers so that I can quickly add beans to just about any meal I make.

Having beans with a meal means you feel full fast AND you're cutting down on fat at the same time.
If you eat more beans, it means you don't have to be hungry to lose weight and your weight loss can be rapid.

Just think, a simple meal like baked beans on whole grain toast, is filling, slimming and cheap and easy to prepare.

So don't make a drama out of weight loss, make it fun and easy with the help of the humble bean.
