[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PPs who have spoken against this diet. It is not a permanent solution. However, if you list down the ingredients/veggies/fruits that he is consuming, we can give you some healthy and delicious recipes. [/quote]

There is nothing at all unhealthy or unsustainable about avoiding carbohydrates from grains and grasses-- there is no reason people need breads, pastas, rice etc.

Eating a low carb diet with all your carbs coming from fruits and vegetables (which naturally limits the amount of carbs you are eating significantly) is perfectly sustainable.   It just requires a shift in thinking about meal planning away from the starch based casseroles and bread based sandwiches.

OP try frittatas and omelettes.   You can add a small bit of starchy vegetable like chopped potatoes for variety, but otherwise just fill up with healthy leafy greens, some chopped pepeprs and tomatoes.

Here's a recipe for salmon in a foil packet that is really yummy:
