Doug urges us to use more beans and nuts for protein.  How do you count say, beans and rice in place of a protein?  As a protein, carbs?  both? thanks.

Hi, Sudy!

The only beans I'm aware of that are truly low carb are soy beans (AKA: Edamame).
Rice is LOADED with carbs. Do NOT eat rice and expect good results.

Proteins and fats are the primary part of the FTS lifestyle.
Also remembering to eat greens and other lower carb sides, especially those high in fiber (the good carb).
