Keto vegetables.

The keto diet is heavily debated by those on it, as well as the nutritionists and dieticians studying it, but the interest in this dietary trend still skews heavy. On a keto diet, the aim is to consume less than 30gm carbs daily, so low carb vegetables serve as the best bet.

The keto diet excludes all food categories that can be traced to create more glucose than the body requires to maintain its regular blood sugar level (80-110mg/dl).

The idea is to create a glucose deficit, so the body has no choice but to start burning out stored fats (visceral and peripheral) to produce energy and regulate blood sugar levels. During this state, the body produces ketones, which are produced from the breakdown of fats in the liver. We don't do this through starvation of calories, but through starvation of carbohydrates.

CABBAGE

Cabbage is one of the most nutritious vegetables of the cruciferous vegetables family. It is a superfood since it is loaded with vitamins, minerals and proteins. It is said to be a great source of vitamin B, C and K, and has adequate amounts of fiber. 

Cabbage is delicious when stuffed into keto fajitas, used in soups, or made into coleslaw with a rich, creamy high-fat dressing that's keto-friendly. 

One cup (89 grams) of chopped raw cabbage contains 5 grams of carbs, 3 of which are fiber (70). It also provides 54% of the RDI for vitamin C and 85% of the RDI for vitamin K. Cabbage contains 2 grams of digestible carbs per serving. It's high in vitamins C and K and may reduce the risk of certain cancers.
