In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently by hand until the seasoning is well distributed.
Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal parts and shape them into patties, pressing them down to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once hot, carefully place the beef patties into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.
Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your preferred doneness.
While the burgers are cooking, slice the avocado and tomato into thin slices.
To assemble the burgers, take two whole leaves of iceberg lettuce to serve as the 'bun', and place one cooked patty on each lettuce base.
Top each pattie with slices of avocado, tomato, and pickles.
Mix the mayonnaise and sugar-free ketchup in a small bowl, then drizzle over the toppings.
Finally, cover each burger with another lettuce leaf, secure with a toothpick if needed, and serve immediately.
