A registered dietitian has shared her experience after eating beans every day for a week, reporting dietary and financial benefits with no major digestive issues. Writing from personal experience, she said the challenge followed earlier food experiments and dismissed common concerns captured in the rhyme, “Beans, beans, the magical fruit—the more you eat, the more you…well, you know the rest.”
She said adding beans to meals was easy and did not disrupt digestion, likely due to her existing high-fiber diet. “This means that in November 2025, the rate of increase in the average price level was higher than the rate of increase in the average price level in October 2025.” She noted that beans replaced some meat in meals, leading to reduced meat consumption.
The dietitian said the shift also lowered her grocery costs, as beans served as an affordable protein source. Beyond her experience, she highlighted beans’ health benefits, including support for heart health, blood sugar regulation, digestion, and weight management, while noting that people with certain medical conditions may need to limit intake.
