The BEST Low Carb Vegetables [EAT AS

MUCH AS YOU WANT!]

In this artıcal, I'm gonna take you through 16 of the best low-carb vegetables. All the
vegetables in this artıcal are so low in carbohydrate that you can pretty much eat as much as
you want even on the most restrictive of low carb diets such as the ketogenic diet

Now, all the vegetables in this video contain less than 5 grams of net carbs per 100 grams of
food and net carbs are the digestible bit that our bodies actually can use for energy. It's a
really low amount of carbs which means you'll more than likely be full before you start to
overeat these foods

Number 1. We call them courgettes or zucchini.

This member of the squash family is particularly low in carbohydrates and it's really versatile.
Compare it to other members of the squash family such as pumpkins which have 6.5 grams
of net carbs and butternut squash which has 10 whereas courgettes have just 2.1 net carbs
per 100 grams. You can roast them. Fry them. Grill them but they're perhaps most famous in
the low-carb world as an alternative to pasta. You can use a spiralizer to turn courgettes into
spaghetti which we call "courgette"
2, aubergine
aubergine or eggplants. Now, these can be cooked in a variety of ways I love them because
they suck up the flavor from everything around them. My favorite way to cook them is to cut
them into thin slices and use them as a substitute for lasagna sheets.
3, Asparagus
Asparagus, this vegetable has such incredible flavor especially if you can get it locally
produced and in season. It makes a great low carb side dish steamed, sauteed, barbecued.
It makes a fantastic accompaniment for steak.
4, broccoli.

Now this might seem like a pretty boring vegetable especially if it's just boiled or steamed but
there are loads of great where you can cook broccoli that make it loads more exciting stir-fry
it, roast it or even blend it up into a soup
5, mushrooms.
Love them or hate them, mushrooms are very low in carbs. I always try to keep some in the
fridge. Garlic mushrooms are a great tasty side dish just saute them with some butter and
some garlic I mix mushrooms with some cheese as a stuffing for an omelet or make a lovely
creamy mushroom sauce to go with the steak.

6. peppers.
Now fun fact red peppers are just ripe green peppers they go through yellow on the way to
get there and the ripening process means that more sugars will be present in the flesh of
peppers. Green peppers are a really solid low-carb choice at 3 net carbs whereas red and
yellow peppers only just make this list at 5 grams per 100 grams. You can slice them up and
eat them raw in salads or fry them up as part of this awesome Beef Fajita dish.
 7, avocado.
Avocados are one of my low carb superfoods. They're just loaded with healthy fats and are
perfect in salads, blended in smoothies for extra creamy texture or squashed up to make
guacamole is it guacamole, I don't know If you've never tried making guacamole at home it's
really easy and it's so much better than the shop-bought stuff. There's a recipe for it as part
of the Beef Fajitas recipe that I mentioned earlier,
8. tomato. ı know it's not a vegetable but it is a fruit. Lots of people seem to get upset about
tomatoes on low-carb diets and I'm not really sure why that is. Yeah, there are certain
varieties which are a bit sweeter than others and may have a slightly higher carb count but
most are pretty low in carbs and of course, there are hundreds of different ways that you can
use tomatoes such as raw in salads or cooked but beware of sun-dried tomatoes for the
same reason that we avoid dried fruits the sugars that are there are just so much more
concentrated in anything that's been dried.
9.cabbages.
Now cabbages don't have to be boring you know shredded cabbages can form the basis for
coleslaw and work really well as a sort of noodle substitute for low carb stir fry. These can be
seriously tasty.
10. olives. Love them hate them, you can find recipes over at carbdodging.com but olives
are often my go-to snack on the road because you can usually pick up a small pot in pretty
much most supermarkets very easily.

11. is a group which is green leafy vegetables and by green leafy vegetables, I mean things
like spinach, bring greens, kale those kinds of things. I'm not going to go into detail in this
one because they're not exactly the most inspiring out of all of these vegetables but they are
super low in carbs and full of important nutrients whether you decide to cook them or blend
them into smoothies.

Number 12 is lettuce and number 13 is cucumber and I'm going to talk about these two
together again because they're not overly excited on their own but they form the basis of
amazing salads which you can eat your heart's content on a low-carb diet.

14. is green beans. You can use them in salads stir-fries or as a side dish but they also work
really well for meal prep foods because once cooked they can be stored really well in the
fridge for a few days and last but by very means not least,
15. the cauliflower. Cauliflower is quite possibly the king or queen of low carb vegetables. It
can be mashed like a potato substitute to blend it with parmesan and it gives an amazing
test
