His comments on his diet in this vlog were telling. He basically said that he is going to do his own variation of the carnivore diet, and add in some vegetables and fruit. He essentially just gave himself license to do whatever he wants now and call it a diet. Now no matter what happens, he will be successful because he was doing the "Trooper Carnivore Diet". He is failing before he starts.
Second, he says that the diet hasn't officially started, so he was going to get a spicy chicken sandwich at Wendys...
This Trooper "diet" thing doesn't look like it's going anywhere.
For real life, having some vegetables in his diet will make it more balanced and make it more realistic for him to do and possibly even maintain past 30 days. Although it will be more boring for the vlog. People want to see extreme stuff so they would want to see him eating 100& meat! Also, the fruits have tons of carbs and will pretty much kill any idea of a low carb diet.
Overall, meat, veggies, and fruits is still a step up for him because he would eliminate all those pop tarts, breads, buns, french fries, and other empty carbs that he consumes like crazy. It's all relative so if he eats those three categories, he will see some weight loss results.
I agree that his "diet" will keep changing till it matches his current food consumption. He will introduce cheat days and find other loopholes that make it impossible to fail but it will be cheating. Typical Trooper.
Also, why is he eating fast food on the supposed eve of his diet. I understand doing a last meal for the cameras and stuff but go for some good quality food and not a cheap fast food burger. He might have a heart attack before he even starts his diet...if he ever starts it.
Why does he even bring up starting a diet in the vlog if he constantly fails to follow thru? I don't understand why he puts himself out there all the time to simply fail right off the bat and look like a loser. Why Trooper?
