Trooper can eat a lot of choices such as:
Eggs and Omelettes with Cheese, ham and bacon
Tuna salad
Egg salad
Chicken salad
Whitefish salad
Grilled chicken over tossed salad (doesn't like tomatoes anyway but no tomatoes)
Bacon Cheeseburgers eaten plain with no bun (onions and pickles ok, but no catsup -. Mayo and mustard instead, hot sauce ok)
Chopped steak
Steak-em's
Deli counter - rolled up ham, roast beef, turkey breast, and some cheese which is great for snacks
When on the road: Double quarter pounder with cheese with no catsup, eaten without the bun, hot dogs eaten without the bun, and the salads above and even plain beef jerky in small amounts
As long as trooper understands he needs to cut out ALL CARBS for this diet to work, even orange juice, all fruit juices, milk, soda, or anything with sugar. The only things you can drink is water, seltzer water, diet soda, coffee and tea sweetened with splenda but coffee needs to be very dark. Cream has about one gram per tablespoon.
What he will soon learn is after 3 to 5 days being on a no carb diet, the craving for food will diminish and his energy will sky rocket.
I read an article once about a marathon runner who's been on zero carbs for years, and was in the best shape of his life.
Also, low carb diets are great for preventing cancer. Don't fall for all the negative talk about this diet regarding eating too much fat. Fat has recently been proven to be an important part of the diet.
You can't get away with eating like that at 45, like you can at 25.
Trooper is in his mid 40's, and if he only eats meat and zero carbs those 'Roids will start to creep up on him.
He is also at risk for gout.
He really should, at the minimum, take a fiber supplement..
