Baked beans are full of fiber, protein, iron and calcium.  Baked beans also contain Carbs the low GI type.  The tomato sauce covering baked beans is also a great source of lycopene a powerful antioxidant shown to help prevent heart disease and prostate cancer.  Baked beans contain insoluble fiber which along the digestion process are thought to nourish the colon lining and protect it from cancer causing invaders.  Baked beans are often overlooked by personal trainers when writing out diet plans for clients, but are certainly a food not to be forgotten.

For a long term solution moderate fat, moderate carbs and moderate protein is the way to go.  I am not a fan of short term fixes so I wouldn’t opt for either option for creating a good looking body.  Long term is the key if most people thought about longer term in regards to getting in shape they would have far fewer injuries, spend less money and create a body that stands strong and looks good over years.  I have kept myself in shape since the age of 15, my body even if I stop training for awhile doesn’t change drastically in appearance yet if you opt for quick fixes all the time you will rocket up and down like a yo yo.
