*Note: Since the time of this posting I've gotten quite a few comments regarding the tortilla included in this recipe as not being allowed as part of this diet. See the comments section below for more.

I recently purchased Timothy Ferriss' latest book, "

," and while I usually take these kinds of self-help books with a grain of salt, I'm game to try some of Ferriss' techniques for what he calls "hacking" the human body.

One of the techniques outlined in detail in the book is the use of a slow-carb diet, which in its basic form has to do with eating foods with a low-glycemic index to keep your blood sugar levels balanced throughout the day.

For Ferriss' purposes — and mine as I work to steer my diet away from Mountain Dew and Bugles — the diet boils down to

:

1) Avoid "white" carbohydrates.

2) Eat the same few meals over and over again.

3) Don't drink calories.

4) Don't eat fruit.

5) Take one day off per week.

The recipe below is my first attempt at crafting a meal that fits the diet. It's quick and easy, tastes fantastic and is high in protein to boot. The ingredients may be breakfast material, but the wraps are good for any meal of the day.

SLOW-CARB DIET ANYTIME BREAKFAST WRAPS



Ingredients:

2 whole wheat tortillas

6 slices Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon

4 large grade A egg whites

1 large grade A whole egg

Fat free shredded cheddar cheese (to taste)

Pace Black Bean & Roasted Corn Salsa (to taste)

Instructions:

Fry the bacon in a large skillet. While the bacon is cooking, mix all of the eggs in a bowl. When the bacon is done, lay three strips side by side in the center of each tortilla. Pour the eggs mixture into the skillet and scramble it.

When the eggs are scrambled, put half on top of the bacon in each tortilla. Sprinkle as much or as little cheese on top as you want. Add salsa to taste (I use the "medium" salsa, and a little bit goes a long way). Roll the tortillas tightly.

If you lay the bacon just right, when the tortilla is rolled there will be a layer of bacon all around the rest of the filling.
