One of the founders in our "startup house" came back to NYC and tried a version of our diet, except he swapped in dried beans for canned to save even more money. Soaking them the night before is an extra step, but it will likely work the same way.

I'd love to report success, but unfortunately he only stuck with the diet for a couple of weeks. Not enough data. Don't think it had to do with the dried bean choice though. I think regimented diets like ours are just easier to do with two people.

A pressure cooker is best if you're using dried beans...you can cook (everything) faster and retain more nutrients.

Also, your body will adapt very quickly if you start consuming legumes consistently...you will overcome the bloating/flatulence issues in no time. It's best to make the transition slowly, though.
