40 days eating only canned beans (191 tins)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 พ.ค. 2020
- Inspired by a half-page scene in John Steinbeck's Tortilla Flat, where a family of poor, super healthy kids eat an almost exclusive bean diet, Beau decides to do much the same thing.
Eating only the contents of 191 tins of beans over 40 days transforms Beau into The Human Bean, and in doing so gives him a front row seat into how one food, totally and utterly, dictates how he feels. Beau uses his intimate knowledge of running to compare his former self to his bean-self, logging lacklustre training for an ultramarathon that he plans on running during the final day of the experiment. Epiphanies are had, saddles are blazed, and genuine insight emerges from what is strangely appealing day-to-day of mediocrity.

When you go for a run on a diet of beans, you always have the wind at your back.

@@jaimelubrani4435 What part of that confuses you?
I am autistic and I seriously, really, intensely love beans. They are the cornerstone of my diet in every form, but my favorite is ham and beans. I use smoked ham hocks and cubed pork tenderloin along with the usual fixings and spices, and cornbread. I fill a 5 gallon Dutch oven with ham and beans(1lb Lima beans, 1lb great northern, 1lb split peas) weekly and 2lb ham+bones to eat for the week. It’s incredible. So cheap, very filling and comforting, easy to slow cook, and great drunk food.
Superfoods are expensive and beans in general are one of the cheapest food IN GENERAL u can buy. Definetly one of my foods too
Why did you say you're autistic?
@@steven401ytx sensory stuff? autistics sometimes have hangups or strong preferences on sensory stuff like food or fabrics. So when OP says he loves beans and eats them every week with every meal he's kinda saying 'i dont think most people would enjoy this but i do'.
i tell you my favorite bean recipe: add into a big pot: 1 spoon of flour, 1 spoon of tomatoeconcentrate, a little oil, salt, pepper, then you add water and mix everything well, then you add bell paprica, carott and potato, add now your beans or later, let it cook for 30 minutes, add some uncooked rice, let it cook for 20 more minutes, let it rest a bit, add herbs and spices, and enjoy friendly friend face.
Beans are great. Cheap, tasty, filling.
This man is such a good story teller, we are all here voluntarily watching him eat cold beans over and over again.

This video literally inspired me to run my first marathon. I watched this video about 6 months ago and just yesterday completed my first marathon run. The idea of wanting an adventure right where you are really spoke to me. And if some guy can eat nothing but beans and run a marathon I figured I could probably do it eating normal food. Love these videos, love the energy he’s putting into the world!
What do you mean “normal” food? Are beans not normal food? It’s a common food, dudette. lol…
nice comment, dropped another seed and inspired me to pick up running again💪🏼

Good for you! Way to step out of your comfort zone.
Congratulations!
Would never have thought a video about a man eating only beans for 40 days would be so fascinating. Incredibly well done, Beau.
The fact you didn’t heat any of these is disturbing and massively impressive
I lived off of food straight out of the can for a number of years.

You discovering how the absence of other foods shortened your emotional experience was really interesting and unexpected. Eating only beans is pretty dark, maybe even akin to a prison diet. You alluded to a darker side of this experiment, and you can tell this must have been quite the thing to stick through.
Eating one or couple different foods is what humans have been doing for hundreds of millions of years. Mainly starchy vegetables and some meat when there was no plants available.
@@juha9703I think even the small amount of variety from scavenging fruits and the days when you caught some meat were what makes it though.
There are so many types of beans and they all have a unique flavor and texture profile.

I"m 78. I grew up poor just outside of a small town much like Mayberry in the USA. We ate lots of dry beans in the winter and I loved them. We had a huge garden to supplement our diet in the summer and my mom canned a lot of stuff for the winter. My dad caught about 4k herring in the spring from the local creek and we ate pickled herring most of the year. We couldn't afford pop and snacks from the store and we were probably much healthier for it.

Individualism expressed. Something unique is very entertaining.
My daughter was born 3 days ago and, while my partner was having a bath in the hospital, I found myself alone with her for the first time. She started to fuss and I happened to be reading your book, the section about Steinback's Tortilla Flat inspiring this video, so I decided to read out loud to her and she settled. My partner and I are both runners and watch all your videos together, it's very fitting the little ones first book was yours!
Something so simple I seem to have missed in my 29 years of life. You are what you eat. Its not just a punchline to a joke, its true in so many senses of that phrase. Thank you Beau for getting this insight out to others and making me think.
I was dirt poor in my early 20s and had just enough food to sustain myself. Watching a man eat nothing but beans takes me back to those times. Good on you pal.
22 here, I am in that phase beans and cheapest frozen veggies. It's both a blessing and a curse when you have no budget for fast food.
Yup.
John I sincerely ask are you located near Kentucky? I can help. I refuse to let my fellow hard working men go hungry. I refuse to donate money though. Been burned too many times. Have no problem driving up to 250 mikes one wat and stocking you up.
Some advice. Get a small chest deep freeze. You can buy some food in bulk. Plus freeze bread etc .. it helps with wasting food.
I also recommend a rice cooker. Even a cheap one. 25 lbs of rice is 30 to 50 bucks. I'm fairly wealthy but still live poor. I grew up dirt poor.

Beau is my favorite inspiration of small-core local adventure for all time.
I once did the potato diet for 30 days, nothing but potatoes which I boiled and then diced and fried them and put just a little bit of low sugar ketchup on them. I lost 25 pounds, had a clear head, and lots of energy! Everyone thought I was nuts but I had read about a man from Australia who had been living on nothing but potatoes for over a year and had lost 100 pounds. Only problem was, by the end of that 30 days I was so totally sick of potatoes that I couldn't eat even one over the next year LOL
Did the 25 lb stay off?
@@kateb6893 i highly doubt it did. It’s like keto or that other no sugar diet from ten years ago (can’t remember the name, some doctors last name I think) they don’t work unless you stick to it forever. The people I knew that have done these diets put the weight on right after they stopped following the program.
It's your typical vegan effect. Could've replaced the potatoes with any other veggie with the same outcome. During the honeymoon phase you always feel great. Until your body's stores are depleted and the starvation related autophagy begins. Then all kinds of health issues set in and you feel like crap 24/7. Basically that's the end result of any kind of restricted diet. We're omnivores after all. We get our nutrients from all kinds of different food sources. Greens, fruits, grains, fish, dairy, meats, eggs... We can't stick to only one type of food for good, because then we get into a deficit of certain vitamins, aminoacids or minerals that only the other foods contain. We need the variety and we also need the right balance of it all. It's so simple but it's also not. Depends on your own approach to the matter.
@Mr know it all
How can you compare a vegan diet to a diet of only beans or potatos? A vegan diet just means it excludes all animal products and it can be as simple, varied, healthy or unhealthy as you see fit. Any nutritionist will tell you that a diet (vegan or otherwise) that is varied and includes a wide range of different foods is more likely to be optimal than a diet that is restrictive, because your obviously going to get a wide range of nutrients and various other things compared to a restricted diet.
All of the largest nutrition organisations on the planet agree that an appropriately planned vegan diet (a wide variety of foods, mostly whole foods, limited processed foods etc) is perfectly healthy for all stages of the human life cycle. There is so much misinformation around, and people claiming that your going to be nutrient deficient if you don't consume any animal products, but the scientific literature does not support this. Even using basic logic and facts can tell you this is nonsense. For example, most vitamins and minerals need to be replenished on a daily basis. Only a few vitamins such as b12 and vitamin A can be stored for any significant amount of time (4 yrs for b12 and 4 months for Vit A). Many millions of people have been eating diets void of animal products for many years and decades. I've been Vegan 6 years myself and I am still waiting for the magic nutrient deficiencies and brain fog or whatever the hell some people talk about. A lot of the time diet isn't even what is causing these people problems, there are many factors that go into good health not just diet.
@Mr know it all
Wow.. 😂
Before Quarantine: Wow this guy is insane
During Quarantine: *Tell me more*
buy dry beans and soak in water for extra texture and almost twice lower price. mix up with rice for extremely tasty carb bomb and a full-aminoacid profile of proteins. you may also blend the beans with a little liquid to create a bean cream which is easier to digest and easily condimented for superb flavor.
or just eat dirt. i heard good soil has minerals and nutriets as well xd
@@jacobtex4611 If you have a pressure cooker you can skip the soaking and all day cooking. Beans ready in 2 hours. We eat beans very regularly, but not like this guy!

This man's conviction to finish this seemingly pointless challenge/project is admirable. Takes a lot of determination.
I think its a basic preppers type diet, so its not pointless at all. It shows a strict beans diet survivability
And someone who can put up with it!
Bet he took off like rocketman when those fumes built up in his gut...
I know it's (likely) not the case, but something hilarious to do is watching it imagining that this is all a scam and he filmed this all in one day, only ever having a bite of beans at a time to show the camera, then goes on to eat like a king, and every time he walks away from the camera he says to himself "God i hate beans"...Makes it even more of a must watch.
Yet I think it's a shame that it seems to be very popular now for people to harm themselves in different ways to get likes and subscribers on TH-cam and TikTok etc. At least this was a very mild form of harm and a little healthy.

@@paula889 you’re right about beans and tortillas. I’m Mexican and that was basically the diet of my grandparents and parents (when they where kids). They ate meat but it was rare, they were really poor but never needed more than tortillas and beans, and they were healthy and strong! My grandma and grandpa still woke up early and work in all their chores, grandpa even works out with his weights and does his little runs 😂 idk but they’re built different must gotta be the beans and tortillas 😅 they’re 74 and 85 respectively.
Cute! Beans not genes!
I like to think that we are all human beans, in this burrito called life.
Or are we dancer?
Thats Deeper than a can of Beans
Beautifully poetic
😀
You should chceck out "Killer bean forever"
Beans is one of your best protein you can get, because I myself are 76, and my diet is canned beans.
The production value is amazing! Thank you so much for the experiments 😁
This story made me consider how poverty or living in a food desert can affect someone’s chance for success. A well-rounded diet’s affect on motivation, creativity, and focus should not be underestimated.
Living on white rice an ranch or hotdog buns an bbq sauce when those fs ran out every month succked big time
The problem is our modern diet doesn’t accomplish this either. The food pyramid was motivated by lowering costs, with no concrete evidence supporting it.
A shame to society. (Research US obesity rates vs the release date of the food pyramid consisting of mainly cheap carbohydrates)
@Spike Elwood That's their own fault though haha. Most those guys have a hard time taking care of themselves from what I have seen though.
Nutty.
What an excellent observation. Go to Washington DC and help us out! They don’t seem to understand the effects of poverty.
Imagine you’re a regular on that train and everyday you just see this dude posted up going in on a can of beans
The coolest mini-doc I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch 👍🏻
Mate I'd love to see a video of what you do eat, and how much you actually do from day to day. You're an inspiration to us all!
The music and the shots made this look like a Netflix original
Na this is better
that’s true… Was very well done. Entertaining bloke. it’s strange that I was looking for some sort of a been induced epiphany… But none came. And he just ate a bunch of beans and felt fairly average about it.
@@posterestantejames and we loved it :)
Vitamin K and bio tissue salts please take them for the nose bleeds.

This guy: I want to eat beans off the rotting floor of a ruin like someone in the Great Depression
I love that he didn't even heat up the beans. He really just wanted to make this as hard on himself as possible
mate, its awesome to see you do this sort of stuff. as a bushman myself, you have sated my curiosity sir. look forward to more of your awesome content.
I wonder if this guy just levitated every time he had to fart
Caused the earthquakes
Believe it or not your body adjusts to the River after a while
😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂 I couldn't have said it better.
....funnel...to hose...to compressor.......no more propane needed.
Your body will get used to beans after a good month of farting.
Or maybe more, depends on your body.
"I am beans right now... everything is beans... and it's not quite right."
This guy is beaned
he should of smoked some weed he would of been a baked bean then
ahahahha i laughed the whole way through this vid
Haha the 5 second clip with granny “Do you eat many beans?” “Not really”
His coloring got better
There are a lot of youtubers doing all these "far out" experiments and challenges, but very, very few manage to make something like eating 80kg of beans into a captivating story like Beau. I particularly enjoyed the reflections on eating culture, and beginner runners. Oh, and the security checkpoint was so Aussie :D
I would caution people that beans do not have a complete complement of essential amino acids and this is not sustainable over long period of time unless you vary the type of beans like he did.
As an American no airport in this country would allow that. The paranoia at our airports are absolutely insane but unfortunately it’s necessary.
Must be something better to do with your life
@@joeedwards9721 yep, .....steady diet of nothing......by Fugazi..
@@bEnderOfWorlds Nooooooo, REALLY?!
The scariest part of this video is eating nachos with a knife. She’s a psychopath
Dear god
Likely , to look more proper ?
Living with him, she has to tough...
The best TH-cam video I’ve seen in a long time. Likeable guy, great sense of humour, humour and interesting experiment
This is the exact video I was looking for. Thank you.
The people at his local store are like: 'How come the store has no beans on the shelf these days?'
@@MaxG-jk8ty people using them for toilet paper.
Bloody roadtrippers
This literally felt like a documentary, I could put this on the TV and nobody would know it’s a TH-cam video, fantastic editing. If this was a one hour video I would binge to this
I agree. Wonderfully done. Very watchable.
This is literally a documentary.
If they made a big brother type show where they had only beans to eat
I think they'd end up eating each other
Just finished reading you amazing book....Thanks for being you!
my great uncle was in africa during ww2 and supply messed up and they're tank company lived on beans for over a month. he never ate beans again!
I wont make myself a victim, i had to eat eggs for months, maybe a 2 year period. I cant.. eat.. eggs anymore.
9 mins in and I'm confused why we haven't seen any beans heated up on the stove 🤣
I thought the same!
Heat would change every thing!
Thats basically 12 different meals if you heat them up
We don't heat the beans in Straya m8...
@@michellelogreco3351 seasoning too
One day you try beans…
The next day you’re sitting at a truck stop talking to yourself about beans.
very down to earth, comedic, fun and educational video my friend. cheers from canada
