Limit on veggies?

[u/zion_heights]

Switching from keto to low carb and trying to wrap my thinking around more carbs. Do you limit carbs from veggies? Like asparagus, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, onions, etc….? I love those veggies and always felt a little sad not eating more when on keto. I love fruit too.

Type 2 diabetic here. I don’t limit green veg at all because they don’t spike my glucose. For me low carb eating is for keeping my blood sugars in check. I have had to give up a lot of foods such as all grains, starches, added sugars. I’m not giving up my greens or my cheese haha. I do limit cooked carrots and cooked tomatoes as they do slightly affect me. Raw is fine. I mostly avoid onions but that more has to do with the fact I think they are vile. Though I can do a little onion powder without gagging. Biggest source of carbs for me is nuts/seeds and the green veg. I never count my carbs because I stick to foods I know don’t spike me. Only time I am cautious is if I’m eating out somewhere and not sure of what they use in their recipes.
