Rice and beans for a frugal food budget

[CentralMass]

3. Thank you for the post Kaleva.

A few years back I ate a diet that had rice and beans as my main staple. I also started exercising and really ramped that up. I found that my stomach adjusted to eating beans after a month or two and then found that my digestive track actual did well eating a rice and beans based diet. I worked up to running 7 miles a day and lost 65lbs over 8 months. The rice and beans fueled me well for the running. I was 54 at the time. I also found it reduced my gerd symptoms.
Your post has inspired me to start the diet back up
