happythoughts 0 #1 April 15, 2008 The bean diet. This guy lost 140 lbs by eating 6 cans of beans every day. How'd ya like to be working in an office with this guy ? Quote A diet of baked beans helped Neil King to lose 140 pounds in nine months. In fact, since June 2007, he's eaten more than half a ton of them, about 1,500 cans. Prior to dieting, King ate a full English breakfast, which at its heart consists of bacon and eggs and may include sausage, toast, and stewed tomatoes, for lunch, and drank eight pints of lager in the pub after tea. King, from Halstead in Essex, England, made the switch from boozing to beans after being told he was at risk for bowel cancer. And his high fiber diet has been gas-free since he stopped having toast with his beans, it is reported. The diet helped King go from 420 pounds to 280 pounds. Speaking to Britain's Mirror, King said, "Some people think I'm mad but I love the taste and the weight has been dropping off." King apparently eats six cans of beans each day, and has them with rice for lunch and with potato for his afternoon tea. His wife Cheryl told the Mirror, "He's like a new man." Baked beans contain little fat and are full of fiber, although it is best to go for a low-salt variety. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #2 April 15, 2008 Can't be any worse than working with people on Slim Fast. That stuff gives you gas and since you are essentially starving yourself, you are probably also cranky as hell. I think I'd take the BeanMan over that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #3 April 15, 2008 It's not clear, but it sounds like he also quit drinking eight pints of lager every night. I would imagine that played a big part in his losing weight. And he might even have less gas after giving up the beer and the crappy food he was eating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"The South Bean Diet" I will sell beans in new designer packaging with teal color scheme. Once it picks up, I'll add flavor varieties. I can see the headlines, "Have you heard about this?" Our motto "Bean Me Up Scotty". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
