Although it's effective, I have doubts that this diet will catch on.
From SKY News:
A diet of baked beans helped Neil King to lose 140 pounds in nine months. In fact, since June 2007, he's eaten more than half a ton of them, about 1,500 cans.
Prior to dieting, King ate a full English breakfast, which at its heart consists of bacon and eggs and may include sausage, toast, and stewed tomatoes, for lunch, and drank eight pints of lager in the pub after tea.
King, from Halstead in Essex, England, made the switch from boozing to beans after being told he was at risk for bowel cancer.
And his high fiber diet has been gas-free since he stopped having toast with his beans, it is reported. The diet helped King go from 420 pounds to 280 pounds.
Speaking to Britain's Mirror, King said, "Some people think I'm mad but I love the taste and the weight has been dropping off."
King apparently eats six cans of beans each day, and has them with rice for lunch and with potato for his afternoon tea.
His wife Cheryl told the Mirror, "He's like a new man."
Baked beans contain little fat and are full of fiber, although it is best to go for a low-salt variety.
What have you got to lose?

Oh my gosh, I wonder how his stomach handled this (or those who had to be near him, for that matter!)
Can anyone say "pass the beano"???
Just thinking of what a diet like this would do makes my belly ache.
Isn't this a bizarre story?
Supposedly not having toast with the beans takes care of the gas issue. I don't see how that would make much difference.
A half a ton of baked beans since last June?
I have nothing against baked beans, but that's about as unappetizing as it gets!
