I can only eat so many beans...

Yes, they DO.

I have been a vegetarian for decades ... and am now low-carbing. It is challenging. I do not tolerate beans at all well. Instead I eat so-called "meat analogs" a lot, inflaming the ire of paleos and anti-soy and anti-gluten people everywhere.

I do eat beans every now and again... but only in small serves. I'm fine with them personally. But they are known to raise BGLs from what I've been told.

I don't eat them often, mostly in my Chili. I've had to 1/2 the amount of beans I put in, and substituted a little more meat. (Not helpful for vegans, I know, lol.)

Black soy beans work f or me -- IF I add them cold to the rest of my chili! Or make a salad and chill it ...

I was a vegetarian before diabetes when I was dx'd with 240 fasting. I evidently was eating way too many beans, cereals, quinoa, barley, etc. I now eat meat 3 days a week and do veggie meals 4 days a week. I eat beans only once a week and usually use 1/2 black beans and 1/2 chili beans and I add lots of meat and veggies. I do eggplant once a week and usually some kind of stuffed mushrooms or stuffed zucchini once a week. Eating meat in small amounts has helped my bgs. We also do lots of egg dishes like Frittatas and quiches.
