You are a fucking idiot, and what's worse is you are clearly spreading bullshit that hummus helps you lose weight! NO! Eating less calories than you burn or burning more calories than you eat makes you lose weight! "Dieting" is not the way to lose weight (fat), make a lifestyle change. You are all lazy SOBs trying to find a quick shortcut. Guess what, none of you will go far in life! WOW!

The weeks I eat other healthy food for dinner I gain 3 lbs, the weeks I go back to the hummus 4 nights a week I lose, I went from 163..11/02/2010 to 126 today 3/30/11 size 14 to a 4 and some 2's. I have not started working out at all either. I feel so much better when I eat the hummus for dinner, i also eat raw cauliflower instead of snacking on junk food. I eat eggs for breakfast and a small lunch, but for dinner I probably have 300 calories worth of pita chips( i bake in the oven ) and at least 1/2 a cup or more of hummus. I do eat whatever I want friday thru Sunday. I just dont eat as much of my meals on the weekends, I get fuller faster! I swear it works to help lose weight!!! I will eat this way for the rest of my life!!

I'd love to try this diet. I work all over the middle east and bring back dried chickpeas each time I come back from Afghanistan. I've ground some into flour (saw recipe for super creamy hummus using ground chickpeas) and have about 10 lbs of dried chickpeas from trip 6 weeks ago. I'd love to try your diet. I leave for Yemen in 1 month...so I'd love 4 weeks on your diet. (Amounts of salad/vegetables clarification would really help...and "1 bowl of hummus", size of bowl or approximate amount would be great. THANKS! Daniel Becker, could you send your diet to me??

This is the order the ingredients are listed so it would be most to least. Easy on the cayenne as it is overpowering. The texture is thick and smooth almost like natural peanut butter. Start with your organic cooked chick peas, then put into your food processor with a squeeze of lemon juice and add oil in small amounts until you get the right texture. The spices can be altered to suit your taste. I promise you it won't be bland. Enjoy and Happy New Year!

And half of lemon, too for a fresh taste. It always satisfy me. With canned garbanzos, you can simply use it half of it and mix with olive oil and dried oregano.

I recently bought a steamer and a mini food processor so that I can make basmati brown rice and hummus in my dorm and (hopefully) lose a few pounds. Unfortunately, I only have canned garbanzos at the moment, but my first experimental batch of hummus came out bland and grainy. Any suggestions?

I wasn't trying to loose the weight, I was just busy and didn't have time to make fancy meals and really liked the way it tasted. My version is really plain...in a magick bullet, combine one can of chickpeas (yes canned), apple cider vinegar about 1/4 of the way up the container, little bit of olive oil and a little bit of sea salt. Add a clove of garlic if you aren't going to see anybody for 24 hours (that's how long you'll smell for). I don't have it with any bread, I just eat it like icecream on a spoon and love it. It's not for everybody, but it's quick, easy and makes you feel full and satisfied. When I eat this once or twice a day for 2-3 days I really notice a difference in how flat my stomache is...it gets way flat, almost like it clears bloat or something. Good luck and enjoy!
