If you enjoy eating baked beans and want to lose weight, you will be pleased to hear the outcome of a study at the University School of Medicine in Shanghai. Overweight subjects aged from 18 to 55 lost 7 lbs (3kgs) after eight weeks having eaten 40 grams of the carbohydrate and had better blood sugar.
Scientists think that the ‘resistant starch’ found in the baked beans is not digested but feeds good bacteria in the gut, which helps you to drop pounds.
