Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
Can anyone confirm or deny claims that beans and rice form together to make a chain of pure protien? I made a dish recently that I love (breakfast, lunch and dinner!) which consists basically of long grain brown rice, black beans, salsa and cheese (bound together with mushroom and cheddar cheese soup). I felt so bad eating it but a GBS vetern buddy of mine is saying that the beans and rice together make a perfect protein. If this is treue I can enjoy what has become a favorite dish. Can anyone comment on this phenomenom ?
the fiber it provides just isn't worth the carbs.
Anyone at the early stages of the journey who puts potatoes, rice, pasta etc in their pouch is just going backwards!
Beans, peas and lentils are a perfect protien combined or alone. Actually a staple for most of the world which you could live on alone through your entire meltdown.
New ppl your diets should be protein protien protien with fiber without sugar. Anything green juiced or blended and if you want to get any nutrition from the greens never heated above 140 degrees. Once
above that temp you only get fiber and a minimal amount of vitamins.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cup(s) dry lentils, French-variety, picked over for debris
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion(s), diced
1 large sweet red pepper(s), diced
2 Tbsp minced garlic
3 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp Durkee Ground Cumin Seed, or other brand
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp kosher salt
29 oz canned diced tomatoes, fire-roasted with chiles, undrained
31 oz canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, chopped
Instructions
Place lentils in a large sauce pan and cover with water by several inches; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until lentils are tender but retain a little bite, about 10 to 15 minutes; drain well and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, pepper and garlic, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.
In a cup, combine chili powder, oregano, cumin, cayenne and salt; add to skillet and stir well to combine. Cook, stirring often, about 1 minute.
Add tomatoes and their juice, and beans to skillet; stir well to combine. Cover skillet and simmer so flavors can blend, about 5 to 10 minutes. Fold in lentils and cilantro; serve. Yields about 1 cup per serving
My plan says whole grain carbs are good (of course in moderation) and necessary, so I see no problem in enjoying your new-found meal!
Also... what the heck is a lentil. I am sure I have eaten it a hundres times but what would I have eaten it in?

Hope
If this were true this would mean PB on Wholewheat would be a complete protein. Could this be true? Hope
Almost every food on earth has amino acids. Every green plant on earth has them. A perfect protien has all necessary aminos to allow your body to build muscle, ie animal or say bean peas or lentils. Now here is the most misunderstood aspect of all, your body actually pool incomplete aminos and does perfectly fine recombining them to make a complete set to build muscle. One only needs to look at the strongest animals on earth like gorilla and horse. These creatures never ever eat anything other than plants. So how do they become so muscular and strong. Because if you eat a varity of plant life which they do ie grasses, the mixture provides every amino necessary to provide evrything necessary to produce muscle.
As for meat (dead animal) my issue with the stuff besides the fact that it rots in our 26 1/2' of intestines by the time we shit it out (notice the smell if your confused), is that most of them have a saturated fat that is long chained. Infinitly different from the saturated fat in say avacado. To understand this throughly see( ph miracle by a guy named Young).
All saturated fats are not bad just the long chained one in beef and many other animal protiens. Take coconut, and the liquid in them this is one of the best fats on earth but it's saturated. Take flax seed and it's oil, again it's a perfect source of fat. I consume several ounces a day and don't have a pound of fat on my body I don't want. Why?
Because I energize my body from fat not sugar. This is what a hybernating bear survives on for months! We post surgery need to become fat burning machines. This is don't by not providing sugar wether that be sucrose fructose etc, or simple carbs which break down into sugar. FYI milk has lactose, which is sugar!
As for brown rice, yes it's a natural source of fiber and a better carb than white rice. But it has no business being in the diet of a post surgery patient in the early meltdown phase. Simply because your body is going to use that for energy rather than the fat on your big asses and bellies. Now once you've melted a majority of you big bodies, eat the shit if you like but your simply delaying further meltdown. Your body will seek the easiest source of energy ie sugar and carbs. I just don't get it, youre not going to harm your body by living on your big carcases for several months!
Just so we are clear!

I suggest you talk to a nutritionist or registered dietitian and get their take.
Yeah, I have heard of this magical "pure protein" of combining brown rice and beans, I think its popular among the vegan crew. I also think we have surgically altered guts and carbs make you hang onto weight.
So.
I would not take medical, quasi-medical or nutritional advice from us, ask an expert :)
Best,
