- I've eaten this same breakfast everyday for nearly the last two years. It's part of the slow-carb diet popularized by Tim Ferriss. I lost 30 lbs in the first 6 months on the diet when I started a few years back.
Egg white carton
1 large egg
2 strips of thick cut organic bacon
Canned lentils
Organic spinach
Italian Dressing
Your coffee of choice
Bacon - medium heat
Cube half an avacado
After bacon, cook lentils on low heat.
Add 2 egg whites and 1 egg to lentils in pan.
Stir constantly until no uncooked egg white left.
Top with mexican hot sauce or salsa.
Small handful of spinach in bowl with 1 tsp of Italian dressing

Great video. Do more slow carb meal videos, would be interesting!
Thanks! I plan on doing a cheat day video soon :)
Made this this morning with pigeon peas and guac instead of lentils and avocado 🤌🏾 delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Happy breakfasting Brandi!
Dear Thom, great video! Please make more soon. Please also make a slow carb playlist after you make more videos. lol. Thank you!
This was a one-off video for me back in the day when I just made random videos but glad you liked it Aaron!
A great teacher and cook.
Sylvia Ross Thanks Sylvia :)
These slow carb videos are cool. Feel free to do more.
Thanks Chase! I plan on doing a cheat day video soon :)
Thom Gibson - Excellent tips, especially about leaving the pit in the avocado. Thank you for sharing.
Hope your avacados last forever now :)
@@gibsonedu - Me too!
Thank you for replying Thom. :)
Great content man!!!
Hey thanks Joao!
I'm glad you mention the cheese. I wish there would be more videos that are about maintaining the weight on a slow carb diet, rather than lots of videos about how to loose weight. Not everyone who is prediabetic, or simply wants to avoid developing insulin resistance, is overweight.
I definitely love my cheese.
that looks amazing. great video and congrats on your slow carb success! x
Thanks! Still going strong with the same breakfast! Thinking of switching back to black beans though as I've been doing lentils for about a year and they're starting to get old :)
Love the video! Make more videos plz!!
Thanks Mercedes! I don't do many food videos anymore but glad you enjoyed this one ! Happy slow-carbing!
This is an excellent recipe! I made a variation of this with cooked spinach instead of serving it on the side with dressing. The only drawback with cooking spinach before the lentils is that you need to cook everything together a little longer to extract the excess moisture from the spinach. Other than that, it's incredibly filling and sustainable. Guess I'll see how well this staple will work with some other slow carb meals. Cheers!
Right on! Yeah I’ve never been a fan of cooked spinach but my dad always ate it like that too.
@@gibsonedu is seeded brown bread okay to eat is it slow release
@@gibsonedu I find if I cook the spinach first with the lentils, it isn't so bad.
good stuff!
It indeed was good stuff :)
Great video, but I have one question: Why don't you just stir your spinach in with your eggs and let it wilt into the egg/lentil part? Do you just prefer it fresh and not want it cooked? it would then also be fewer dishes and more kind of one pan cooking. Just wondering...
Hey Janine. I've tried it both ways but I don't really like the combined flavor of spinach with eggs and I like the crunchiness of it when it's raw :)
Thom Gibson , yeah it is quite a different texture and flavour!
Simple enough. Thx!
You bet!
I like this recipe.
Me too :)
I am gonna try this =)
Let me know how you like it. I've moved to black refried beans since then and a different salsa but for the most part , still eating this every morning :)
Love the recipe! Please use washable bowls :)
But the paper is so much more convenient!
You can use them if you want, don’t tell others what to do please.
lol “use things you can throw away so you don’t have to clean!”
My breakfast if very similar except for the lentils. Unfortunately i cannot eat legumes as they break my red blood cells. So I usually use some roasted butternut squash next to my eggs.
Yeah I've moved away from lentils and now just have refried black beans. We eat butternut squash a lot with our dinner though!
Just a question... does the sauce need to be sugar free or can it have a little sugar as most tomato sauces have? Thank you
I generally avoid sugar but if it’s minimal then I don’t think it’ll throw you off. I’m also not a dietician in any regard ;p
The carton of egg white... can you even find that in the stores in uk? I havn't seen it.
The lentils are they from can, or soaked/ cooked from scratch? Ta
Not sure about the egg white. Lentils were pre-cooked and came in a can.
I am looking on CZcams to see if there is such a thing as a bean diet. I have gone so many years without eating any beans because of gas, but yesterday I was really craved them, so I soaked a 15 bean soup for 24 hours and cooked it for 2 hours and it came with cajun seasonings, so it was salty. It was so so so good that I ate 2 very large servings, and then today I had another 2 very large servings and I was so full. I do I.F., so I only eat 1 time a day and then fast for 23 hours. Normally I think about food all day long, but now I realize that I don't. This is cheap, easy and delicious, so if it would help me to loose weight, that would be exciting!
They are indeed the magical fruit.
Fabuloussss
Happy eating :)
Hi friend, what camera do you use?
Hey Dilon. I use a Canon T3i but I recommend a Canon SL2. It's new, better, and is about the same price since the T3i has been continued so it's oddly expensive (unless you find a used one). Canon SL2 - amzn.to/2RuLvE4
How can I sweeten the coffee little while keeping the diet happy?
Not sure. Maybe search 'low-carb coffee sweetener' :)
Do you know what's great on this diet? Garlic salt.
LemonZeppelin I like celery salt on my eggs too
I didn’t even know celery salt was a thing!
Wondering if you still follow this diet? Still eat this same breakfast?
Pretty much. I do refried black beans instead of lentils, I do a different salsa called El Gallo, and I have a small spring mix salad on the side to get some greens 😊
How about cream in the coffee
Up to you but generally cream is not part of a slow-carb diet :)
what about lunch? any suggestions?
This is generally my lunch -czcams.com/video/-jHel34OdP4/video.html
thanks so much.
Do you still do the slow carb?
Yeah loosely! I don't do lentils but I still do bacon and eggs w/ black beans and avocado.
HEB heck YA
Best grocery chain in the world 👍🏼
Valentina is love, valentina is life.
While I'd like to use salsa, I find they usually stuff sugar in there, which completely defeats the purpose of the diet.
Yeah a lot of salsa are garbage and probably not worth adding
Are you in China? My Son is in China. He follow Tim Ferris life style. He is actual in vietanm righ noq
I was for a couple weeks this summer. Back in the states now :)
Although it looks tasty it doesn't make sense to me. Lentils low fat bacon high fat and eating together?
Yeah with the slow-carb diet, it's less about eliminating fats and more about eliminating carbs. I limit the bacon to two slices and have recently begun doing just one slice in the morning. Here's a more detailed article on it - medium.com/@erinfrey/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-slow-carb-diet-a67062761d92
Yes but I don't need to lose weight I'm actually on the slim side. I want to lower my cholesterol, triglycerides and clean out my arteries! So is the slow carb diet good for me?
Perhaps. I’ve enjoyed it and it’s been a sustainable way for me to eat healthy. Cheat day once a week.
Thanks for the tips and thumbs up from me... but paper plates? Come on man!
Don't have time to clean them dishes!
all kind of beans ?? white beans ??
Pretty much. Yeah I think white beans are fine. Just google 'are white beans slow carb'
@@gibsonedu i did ,, and they said ot was alright,, thanks dud for replay
What is a good vegetarian substitute for bacon besides fakin ' bacon? 😁
Hm, I'm not sure. I'm not a dietician, this has just worked for me based on the diet details as laid out by Tim Ferriss the 4-Hour Body.
1:05 bowels don't reduce dirty dishes
Ha! Yeah I guess it wouldn't.
Great video by the way, easy to follow and good explanations
Eeew egg white from a packet, why not do it yourself
I don't want too much egg yolk so I don't want to use 3 full eggs, but then I would feel like I'm wasting food if I throw away two egg yolks. It doesn't taste too bad out of the carton ;)
Spinach has soooo many oxalates. Yikes.
Had to look up oxolates.
Disposable containers? Ugh..
+ajakowski delicious :]
Thom Gibson you suuuuuuck. Washing a plate takes 5 seconds, you child. Do you use disposable for all your meals??
i don't eat beans.
Shux :(
Shame about the torture house bacon.
That's the best part :)
