My husband has been doing this now for 6 years, and its actually pretty easy.  Not only does he eat more fruits and veggies than he ever has in his entire life, but his meat options are limitless as well... and he does not eat pork.

For example, this week, he ate turkey sausage w/peppers and onions,  chickpeas and curry chicken with peas, turkey burgers with salad, steak with broccoli, grilled chicken breast with sliced red peppers.... I could go on and on.  I can remember vividly thinking that his new diet was a big pain in the behind, but it is actually pretty easy.  All I have to do is toss in some noodles, rice or garlic bread, for the kids (or whatever else it is that they're eating that night) and we've got a full meal!

We always have a fruit for dessert (it was frozen blueberries this evening)... it might be a smoothie or sliced apples or mandarin oranges.  I love to bake, so this week I made pumpkin muffins for him (made with almond flour, canned pumpkin, vanilla, etc.)!  We have embraced his lifestyle and I'm thankful for it.  He lost 90+ pounds in a year and still looks wonderful, 6 years later.

Hang in there.  This is a really healthy way of life as long as he's eating lots and lots of fruits and veggies.  The biggest challenge for my husband has been snacks.  He usually will go for popcorn, a handful of walnuts or almonds w/raisins, almond butter w/apples or a smoothie.

Best of luck to you.  And remember, his lifestyle change won't just benefit him... your family will benefit as well in so many ways.  We had one close family friend tell us a sweet story after they adopted the "clean/paleo" eating lifestyle:  One day after dinner, their 6 year old daughter said this:

"Daddy doesn't nap after dinner anymore... and he even helps with the dishes.  He's nicer to since he started eating better."  It changed their life too.
