Are lentils good for you?

Yes, very good in fact. Unlike the simple carbs from starch, which are readily converted to sugars, the carbs in lentils are complex carbs- they are slow-release energy, which is just the kind you want to keep those blood sugar spikes under control. In addition lentils are high in protein (make you feel full for longer) and rich in potassium, which will help regulate your blood pressure.

The same goes for kidney beans, chick peas (=garbanzo beans) etc.

They also have a lot of protein, and carbs that you get from whole foods like lentils, legumes, beans, nuts, vegetables and fruits are what your body NEEDS. They're long-lasting carbs, unlike refined sugar and refined flour which turns into sugar once you ingest it. They'll keep you going and help your metabolism keep working effectively.

Lentils and a little goat meat or venison.

Lentils are brimming with fiber, which is crucial to satisfying your hunger and reducing your appetite. This food is rich in soluble fiber, which also lowers blood cholesterol as it gives you that full feeling you need to avoid temptation and help with weight loss.
