Kidney bean diet?

if all i ate was kidney beans, do you think i would loose weight? if so how much. they have 6 g of dietary fiber and 0 g or fat and 110 cals per serving. how fast could i loose weight? i was thinking about doing that for 6 weeks because i wanna loose 30 pounds and then just watch what i eat after that. i think i would do it because i genuinely like kidney beans. would they make you gassy or just poop a lot? thankssssssss

Don't do it!!!!!
Even if you do like kidney beans, this is not a good idea. Doing any thing extreme to lose weight can start a weight yo-yo cycle that lasts a lifetime in some cases. Anything when you are restricting your body often leads to binges, emotional eating, and increased appeal of food. I know it is tempting and I used to take extreme measures to lose weight all the time. However, I've been researching overweight and obesity for the last seven years.If you want to begin exploring your excess weight, instead ask yourself these questions....

What triggers you to eat when you aren't hungry?
Do you eat for emotional reasons? (loneliness, boredom, stress, to numb out, procrastination, even happiness, etc.)
Do you binge eat?
Do you eat for external reasons (because food is expensive so I have to eat it all, because my other people want me to eat, because it tastes so good, because it looks so good, because it is fun to eat with others, as a reward, etc.)

The best way to solve your weight problems permanently is to get in touch with your body's own hunger and fullness cues. I am a personal coach for teens and young adults who want to lose weight and help the people I work with figure out what causes them to overeat and how to change these patterns. There is a better way. Please do not start the diet cycle. I promise that it is never the best way!!!

If you'd like to discuss the research that states that only 1 of 99 people who try to lose weight by dieting or other extreme measures will keep the weight off after 10 years and that most gain all the weight back and more by year two, give me a call or shoot me an email.

Good luck to you,
