Summary
Earlier in the week I got an email asking, "Why aren't beans paleo?"
It's a great question & one we're diving into in today's episode.
We'll talk about macronutrients - are beans really a good source of protein? Do they have a lot of carbs?
We'll talk about micronutrients - can your body actually absorb & utilize the iron & zinc you see listed on the nutrition label?
We'll also talk about other components in beans and how they interact with our bodies at the cellular level.
If you're a bean eater, this is a must-hear episode!

| 0:00.0 | This is Primal Potential and I am your host, Elizabeth Benton. |
| 0:06.6 | Through education, motivation and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and |
| 0:13.8 | doing so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential. |
| 0:21.4 | Let's get started. |

| 0:51.3 | and our metabolism. |
| 0:53.0 | I think that is powerful information and when we know better, we can do better. |
| 0:58.2 | Of course information without implementation is useless but hopefully as you listen to |
| 1:02.7 | this you will be asking the question, what does it mean for me? |
| 1:07.0 | What can I do with what I've learned here in this episode? |
| 1:11.3 | Somebody emailed me the other day and asked why beans aren't paleo. |
| 1:17.1 | And there are all sorts of different dietary classifications, whether it's paleo, whether |
| 1:21.1 | it's primal, and I don't get hung up on those distinctions but I do think it is important |
| 1:28.2 | to understand how food acts in our body. |
| 1:32.3 | Just because it's sold in a grocery store doesn't mean it is good for us, doesn't mean |
| 1:37.2 | it works with our bodies, doesn't mean it makes us feel our best or helps us reach our |
