Low Carb Vegetable List (Induction) Phase 1

Here are some wonderful new vegetables I have enjoyed finding on my new Low Carb adventure!  
 
Salad Vegetables
You can have two to three cups per day of the vegetables listed below. These salad vegetables are high in phytonutrients and provide a good source of fiber.
  • Alfalfa sprouts
  • Daikon
  • Mushrooms
  • Arugula
  • Endive
  • Parsley
  • Bok Choy
  • Escarole
  • Peppers
  • Celery
  • Fennel
  • Radicchio
  • Chicory
  • Jicama
  • Radishes
  • Chives
  • Iceburg Lettuce
  • Romaine Lettuce
  • Green Leaf Lettuce
  • Boston Lettuce
  • Bibb Lettuce
  • Cucumbers
  • Mache
  • Sorrel 
And here are some more!   

Other Vegetables
You can have one cup per day of these veggies if salad does not exceed two cups. If a vegetable, such as spinach or tomato, cooks down significantly, it must be measured raw so as not to underestimate its carb count. The following vegetables are slightly higher in carbohydrate content than the salad vegetables:
  • Artichoke
  • Celery Root
  • Pumpkin
  • Artichoke Hearts
  • Rhubarb
  • Asparagus
  • Chard
  • Sauerkraut
  • Bamboo Shoots
  • Eggplant
  • Spinach
  • Broccoli
  • Hearts of Palm
  • String or Wax Beans
  • Broccoli Rabe
  • Kale
  • Brussell Sprouts
  • Kohlrabi
  • Tomato
  • Leeks
  • Turnips
  • Cabbage
  • Okra
  • Water Chestnuts
  • Cauliflower
  • Onion
  • Zucchini
 
  • Collard Greens
  • Scallions
  • Dandelion
  • Snow Peas
  • Bean Sprouts
  • Dandelion Greens
  • Spaghetti Squash
  • Summer Squash
  • Beet Greens
 Enjoy ~ these wonderful veggies....I will be sharing more as I learn them.
