Preparation
Here's a method for de-gassing dried beans that seems to work. It's
from the new book Fat Free, Flavor Full by Dr. Gabe Mirkin and Diana
Rich.
"Put the beans in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring them
to a boil and take them off the heat. This breaks the capsules
surrounding the beans and allows stachyose, verbascose and raffinose,
the gas-causing sugars, to escape into the water. Stir a couple of
tablespoons of baking soda into the water and let the beans soak
overnight. Drain the soaking water off the beans and rinse them
several times. (If you eat the soaking liquid, you will cause
unbelievable discomfort for yourself and those around you.)" Then you
cook 'em and eat 'em. End of story, so to speak. I've used this
method with pinto beans, but rarely soak them for more than 4 hours
(because when I'm hungry for beans I want them today, not tomorrow).
I've found it better than Beano, but of course your mileage may vary.

beans
My aunt gave me a very helpful hint in regards to reducing the
odiferous properties of beans. She did this with pinto beans, but I
am guessing that it would work with any type. Cut up about three or
four carrots into good size chunks, and put them in the beans, and
leave them there the whole time you cook them and stuff. They
supposedly absorbed the gas. It seemed to really work. Just DON'T
eat the carrots; throw them away. If you even have a nibble, it'll be
dangerous!

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
Rather than thinking about which food types you really should leave out of your meal plan, focus on the nutritionally sound foods that you are able to introduce to your meal plan. If you manage to inject some nourishing grains and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon see that stop feeling hungry and have a significantl;y decreased risk of giving in to those damaging midday snacks.
Some reduced carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Eat regular meals
Most low carb recipes are, well...., low in carbohydrates. Your body requires energy, and carbs are a very efficient energy source. A reduced carb diet needs extreme care in controlling your energy levels, as any energy provided by non-carbohydrate sources is slower acting.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, collard greens and tomato puree)
These orange and green natural foods are rich in carotenes believed by nutritionalists play a key role in minimizing the risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the stomach and lesophagus. A good number also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every weight loss program.
