5. Black beans
All legumes are considered healthy carbohydrates, and black beans are definitely one that you should consider eating more of. Why? – Because they are rich in soluble fiber, which has been found to lower the levels of visceral fat that lies deep in your waistline and increases your risk for certain chronic health conditions, including diabetes and heart disease, as well as some forms of cancer.
Black beans are also a great source of protein, which helps build muscle and burns fat, as well as manganese, vitamin B1, folate and copper. Sprinkle black beans on top of a salad, make them into a chili, or add them to your favorite soup or casserole.
