A-Rod, on the other hand, said he had eggs and avocado and was "dying."  Day three of the challenge, A-Rod shared the couple's lunch: a giant salad with hard boiled eggs, cucumber, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, ground turkey and Brussels sprouts.  Photo: Instagram Stories Needless to say, this keto diet-esque journey has not been easy for the couple, which is why they decided to post a public video on Instagram challenging a few of their famous friends to join them: Hoda Kotb and Michael Strahan included.
