00:00 I eat right. I'm always out and doing something.

00:04 I'm blessed with natural energy,

00:06 so I have to figure out how to channel it.

00:08 So, like, when I'm done here --

00:10 I've been running around New York all day doing interviews.

00:13 When I'm done here, I'm going to eat our special Atkins thing

00:16 that we're going to make in two seconds,

00:17 and then I'm going to go work out.

00:19 Like, that's how I get my energy.

00:22 -45-minute hour? How long is the workout?

00:25 -No more than an hour, because I crush it.

00:27 I get in there and, like --

00:28 Actually, now at 54, they're going,

00:30 "Just slow it down a little bit," right?

00:32 But part of it's lifestyle.

00:33 You know, I do a high-protein, very low-carb diet.

00:39 And, you know, listen, I love my pizzas.

00:42 I do. I have my cheat days.

00:43 I'm not perfect, but for the most part,

00:46 I really try to keep it sort of strict.

00:48 -So, you started working with the Atkins Diet Group.

00:51 -Which is the -- I've tried all of these over the years --

00:54 the Paleo, the this, that.

00:55 But Atkins is the -- Like, they invented it, really.

00:58 30-plus. And you knew Dr. Atkins?

01:01 -I did. I'm so honored. I met Dr. Atkins.

01:03 And he wrote his first paper in the early '60s,

01:05 and people crucified him,

01:06 because the idea that you wanted to eat a lower-carb diet,

01:10 which was so foreign.

01:11 But he went back and looked at what happened in Ireland,

01:13 and, you know, 100 years earlier,

01:14 he very methodically chronicled it.

01:17 So, he made a big, big dent

01:19 in how we recommend people to eat now.

01:22 Let's show people how easy it is.

01:23 We're actually going to make something that Rob eats.

01:26 -This is my breakfast. -His breakfast.

01:28 But when I read about this --

01:29 You know, I always have Greek yogurt and berries every morning.

01:32 This is me -- This is this morning's picture.

01:34 That's this morning. You can see it looks just like me.

01:35 Same haircut, right?

01:37 But Rob eats granola, right?

01:39 And he usually -- You know, most granola, everybody --

01:41 You know, admit it to yourselves.

01:43 It's sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, carbs, right?

01:45 His granola isn't. It's all protein.

01:48 And I'm going to call it from now on

01:49 the Rob Lowe Carb Granola.

01:53 -I like that. -Rob Lowe Carb.

01:55 -I like it. -Yeah, very clever.

01:57 So, we're going to go through it right now real quick.

01:59 These are the ingredients for everybody.

02:00 Super simple. And again,

02:01 there's no sugar really added, right?

02:02 No, it's fun stuff. You got your coconut oil.

02:05 You got some pecans, flax seeds, sunflower oil,

02:08 shredded coconut, vanilla extract to make it yummy.

02:11 A little cinnamon, a little tiny bit of peanut butter.

02:13 So, some of the natural sugar, like the pecans,

02:15 might have a tiny bit, but nothing else you added to it.

02:17 This is so simple, you can do it without thinking twice.

02:19 First of all, you put a little bit of coconut oil

02:21 and some peanut butter. And it looks like this.

02:22 After about 10 minutes, right? Don't burn the pan.

02:25 And then you just basically add everything else.

02:26 You get the flax seeds. I got the sunflowers.

02:29 You put it in here. -A little bit.

02:30 Just a little bit for flavor. -Mix it up in there.

02:32 Mash it up. Shredded coconut.

02:33 -Coconut oil on that. -Here's the cinnamon.

02:35 -Okay, just a dash of cinnamon. I don't like too much.

02:37 There you go. -See, I love cinnamon

02:39 because it actually helps your liver deal with sugar.

02:41 -Now, that we want. All of it. -All the vanilla.

02:43 -Give me the vanilla. -Okay. You mix this baby up.

02:45 And then once, after 10 minutes,

02:46 you've gotten this all warmed up together,

02:49 you then plate it out like this.

02:50 Super simple. Put a little wax paper underneath it.

02:53 20 minutes at about 350 degrees.

02:55 That's all you really need.

02:56 And when it comes out, it looks like this.

02:59 -It's a yummy thing. -Like this.

03:01 -Should we see how the gang likes it?

03:02 -Let's please the audience.

03:03 Now, I want some honest answers back here.

03:06 Honest answers. I don't want the usual,

03:08 "Oh, of course, it's Rob Lowe giving it to me.

03:10 Of course, it's good." So go ahead and take some.

03:11 -Welcome to the program. There's your little snack.

03:13 You need to keep your energy. -Thank you.

03:15 -Go ahead and give it a taste. We'll see what you think.

03:17 -It's very arduous watching this program, I understand.

03:20 -Does the granola taste better

03:21 or is having Rob Lowe give it to you taste better?

03:23 -Obviously, it does, yes.

03:25 -It's better than he gave it to you?

03:26 If I had given it to you, would it have tasted good, too?

03:29 -Close, but not as good. -Thank you.

03:30 -That is good. -I love it. Thank you.

03:31 -Honest opinion. -It's great.

03:33 I think it would be even more delicious with yogurt.

03:35 -You know what? That's exactly --

03:37 It's a good point because we make it that way.

03:38 Do you like the crunchiness of it?

03:39 -I do. It's delicious. I love the cinnamon.

03:41 -And you can spice it up. You can add extra stuff.

03:42 But it's the Rob Lowe carb.

03:44 It's the Lowe carb part you want.

03:45 Happy customer? -Love it. Really nice.

03:48 -What percentage of this new venture we've just created?

03:51 -We're going to eat 50/50 partners.

03:53 You can take a little more because it's named after you.

03:54 -Oh, good. -Yogurt, berries,

03:56 and some of this, and you are good to go.

03:57 And this is not a hard thing to do, guys.

03:59 Inexpensive, fast, easy, fun, and we'll be happy.
