Of course. I was thread-hijacking a bit I suppose. Tangenting off your
query to a point of my interest.

Yes, but I venture that trying to get all protein from rice and beans,
which I know is not you, is a sure way for many if not most to
overwhelm ther systems -- with long term consequences. Such is not a
(good) veg diet, its lunacy. No wonder some fled such, start eating
meat and feel better.

So thats great. What works for anyone is good.

Yes. 

And as has always been "the thing' as far back as when I started
reading nutrition 40 years ago, Adele Davis, mixing carbs with fats
and protein slows down the burn.


But  for me, I found the totality of beans and grains in my diet
overwhelmed my system. At least relative to alternatives (veg).

After 8 years of reading it, taking some stabs at it, seeing it was
not some health guru fad, but had a lot of research behind it, 
I have been doing this balance and notice substanial effects.
Regardless of veg or omnivoire diet, it may be the, or among the, most
important modifications one can make.

Well, it's an individual bichemistry thing, don't you think? Different
bodies react differently to different foods. I've been eating 1-2 cups
of beans per day, lots of veggies, nuts, a little cheese and my blood
glucose, which was too high, is now down into the normal range on a
consistent basis.  You can choose beans and grains with a low glycemic
index, there are enough of them. Some of the grains are not only low
on the glycemic index but are also low in gluten.

No but I have experience in giving up grains and beans -- except for
some sprouts -- and the huge gycemic burden a heavy use of such place
one ones system. Leading to constant "inner' inflamation --
(prostglandins and all), long term health degradation, and feeling
"bad" from a veg diet. 

It feels Great!

Almost as great as getting ones Omega-6 / Omega-3 essential fatty
acids to a ratio < 2. Approaching 1.
