The Best Low Carb Vegetables

                               

The ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that's the same as the Atkins and low-carb diets.                                                                 It involves considerably reducing carbohydrate intake and exchange it with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state known as ketosis.
A hype about Ketogenic Diet

A ketogenic diet is used to attain weight loss, blood sugar control and different health-related goals. Luckily, it can embrace a good variety of nutritious, tasty and versatile foods that permit you to remain within your daily carb range.

One of the biggest misconceptions about a keto or low-carb diet is that all the foods, you're going to eat will be tasteless or cooked to death. The reality is so far from it. Vegetables both cooked and raw play an important role in helping to keep the keto diet balanced nutritious and delicious of course. You can find hundreds of types of vegetables at your local grocery store, supermarket or farmers market, those on the keto diet learn to consider each vegetable. They add to a dish with care. After all, some vegetables are high in sugar and don't deliver the way we need them. Ensure that your carb counts, don't add up too quickly. Here is straightforward do's and don'ts guide for eating veggies on a Ketogenic diet.

Ideal vegetables for a ketogenic diet

These vegetables are good stuff and are high in nutrients and low in carbs.

1.Green veggies

 Dark and leafy vegetables, these are

*Spinach

* Kale

*Collards

*Swiss chard

*Mustard greens

*Bok choy

 *Arugula.

These vegetables tend to be high in iron packed with vitamins and antioxidants filled with fiber and nice and low on the carbs. We'd love to mix up fresh leafy green salads or prepare side dishes like creamed spinach or roasted kale at dinner time.

2. Cruciferous family vegetables

Leafy greens aren't the only low carb veggies, the keto diet also welcomes members of the cruciferous family-like

 *Broccoli

*Broccoli rabe,

 *Cauliflower cabbage

*Brussels sprouts

*Al gratin Brussels sprouts  

*Lemon roasted spicy broccoli

We prepare these veggies on the regular. There are higher carb veggies that you can incorporate into your diet just a little more sparingly than the lower carb. Ones mixing in higher carb vegetables with lower carb ingredients is a great way to add some flavor and texture without putting your carb count over the limit. A good rule of thumb to follow is that generally the brighter and more colorful the vegetable, the more carbs it tends to contain, another is that sweeter veggies think corn and carrots also contain more sugar.

3.Bright veggies

Some bright veggies are an exception to these rules however, for instance, bell peppers and jalapenos can be used for added texture and flavor in meals. Radishes are a great way to add some crunch to a dish and tomatoes, mushrooms, eggplant, artichoke hearts, olives, and other medium carb veggies are a great way to add in visual appeal and exciting flavors without too many carbs.

Best of the best vegetables

If we had to come up with the best of the best list of vegetables that list would include

 *Broccoli

*Asparagus

 *Mushrooms

*Zucchini

*Spinach

 *Avocado

*Cauliflower

*Bell peppers

*Green beans

*Lettuce and

*Kale

all of these are super versatile, give the best nutritional bang for their buck and pack in a ton of flavor.

Don’ts

Sweet or starchy vegetables

Now let's look at the vegetables we almost never eat very sweet or starchy vegetables like

 *Peas

*Corn

 *Potatoes

 *Sweet potatoes

*Parsnips and

*Yams

These are full of sugar and thus full of carbs. We also avoid yucca, parsnips, beets and some kinds of sweet squash. Choosing organic is great but what's more important is making sure you have a diverse variety of vegetables to round out your keto diet. Frozen veggies can be an economic and convenient way to go and are often more nutrient-dense than fresh ones because they're flash-frozen at the

the peak of ripeness.
