@Dasher602014 posted this on the Low carber Daily-Ladies over 50 forum, a LONG time ago and it resonated with me. Over and over. Hope she @Dasher602014 doesn't mind.

No problem at all! I had found it very useful and I am glad you did too.
Got another one which has not much to do with diet (although it does go into mindful eating) but I have found it more than useful. It is free and you don't even have to sign up, give your email or anything.

Nice links. I really like that fat adapted piece.
I do find that getting fiber from mostly vegetables does leave me lower on fiber than I was before (legumes would help if I fit them in), and I'm personally (like, for me) against supplementing, since my main concern about fiber is gut biome, and I suspect supplementing does nothing for that. It's not something I'm currently concerned about, since I feel fine, but when one reads about traditional diets and so on they tend to be quite high in fiber (with some exceptions). Not currently worried, like I said, but it is something I think about some.1 -
Yeah, I liked that fat adapted piece as well. I am lowering carbs now for menopause (as a bit of an experiment, but think it's going to be the right thing). My fiber is a bit lower, but I'm also a fan of organic black soybeans, which are extremely high in fiber and low in carbs. I know, folks have often polarizing opinions about soy... but it works for me.lemurcat12 wrote: »Nice links. I really like that fat adapted piece.

I'll have to try those. I don't have an issue with soy, at least not in and of itself (vs. soybean oil or being added as an ingredient in lots of stuff). I'm fond of edamame and tempeh and tofu.0 -
They are much nuttier than regular black beans.lemurcat12 wrote: »Sabine_Stroehm wrote: »

Love these numbers!
This is my idea of a "convenience food" now:

Thanks! I am going to look for them.

Hard to find here. Whole Foods has them, inconsistently. And I begged the Co-op here to carry them.dasher602014 wrote: »Thanks! I am going to look for them.

Wow, I wouldn't have ever thought of checking out soy beans. Only 1 carb.
Here's a link to Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Eden-Organic-Black-Beans-15-Ounce/dp/B000GZS9Q6/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1497293195&sr=8-1&keywords=eden+black+soybeans&th=1
That link is for 12 cans but they also sell individual cans.1 -
Nice, I'll check next time I'm at WF (or Plum Market, perhaps).0

Much cheaper at whole foods, but if that was the only way to get them, I'd do it.0 -
Glad to see that black soy bean reminder. I previously included legumes in my weight loss and maintenance diet. Then when I ate MTKeto, legumes were out cuz carbs ( and protein somewhat). I don't eat keto currently but am reluctant to eat much in the line of legumes but these Black Soy Beans just might be the ticket for me. Low carb. High fiber. Nice protein. Yay! A meatless opportunity! Thanks!!1

The closest I can find as a readily-available product here in the UK is the Black Turtle Bean, which I am not sure is the same legume... However, the nutrtion values look pretty good....0

Found them last night. Excited to try them -- can't tonight, but later this week!0 -

Black beans aren't the same thing, those are closer to pintos. Yummy, but not quite as good in terms of nutrient values.0 -

Start with them in their plain form, just heated. They really don't sub out black beans in any given recipe.
I like them with salmon, with chicken, and alone or alone with pesto or chile.

I had to go back 13 pages to find this thread with interest in giving the Eden Black Soy Beans a thumbs up. The macros/micros of them interested me when reading this thread back in June and yesterday, when at the store, I purchased a can. Today I used half the can to make some hummus and will probably use the other half on a salad or just make a bean salad out of them. Too hot for chili.
I agree they are very similar in taste and texture to a pinto bean. I like the low carb aspect plus the fiber, potassium, magnesium, protein. They're packed with nutrients! Tasty!
Thanks @Sabine_Stroehm3 -

Awesome!!2 -
As I recall, Eden Foods imported the seeds from Japan back when. A public service!3

We should be able to get these in Western Canada at Nutters Bulk & Health Foods and I know my local independent grocery store sells some Eden organics too, but I haven't looked for these particular beans yet. Gotta remember to check it out later today when I get to town. FWIW I think part of the problem with soy is that almost all of it is GMO. You are safe with 'organic' tho, it can't be labeled that way if it's genetically modified.0
