Vegetables should also be part of your meals. Add them liberally and try a variety. Vegetables that grow above the ground, including cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, collards, bok choy, spinach, asparagus, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, cucumber, onions, peppers, and leafy greens (including lettuce) are full of vitamins and minerals your body needs. They’re also super-low in carbs. Eat avocados and olives liberally—they’re loaded with healthy fats—but consume berries no more than once a day, when you have a craving for fruit.
