Butter Beans

Hi, are we allowed butter beans on cruise?

No, butter beans and all dried beans are too starchy.

It's okay to take butter beans hun, just be sure to swim 30 minutes so you can burn the calories.

Sorry, but on the Dukan diet all beans are off until Conso. You are on a different diet. This one does not work on calories in, calories out. If you want to see the principles, check out the threads across the whole site referenced to Gary Taubes, who unpicks the reasons for low carb diets working more effectively tthan calorie ones. However you can get a few bean benefits by sprouting mung beans until their starch is used up.

Try mashed Cauli instead, it has a rice or potato feel about it, and butternut or other squash too.

mashed cauli... yeah I will try that. Made a butternut squash soup for tea tonight

Celeriac mash hits the spot too
