Cucumber is not boring! Sliced thin with onions, dill, vinegar, salt & pepper. I also dice it with onions, tomatoes, olive, feta cheese, avocado oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and oregano. I’ve also discovered baby cucumbers which are so tasty and make a great snack straight up!
I have a recipe for sautéed cucumbers that I’ve been enjoying for 20+ years. It’s made with baby peas, which, of course, can be left out. Peel (or not…I don’t care for the peel) and slice cuke lengthwise. Scoop out seeds with a spoon. Cut into 1/3-1/2” slices. Heat butter and/or oil in sauté pan. Throw in cuke slices, and sauté till soft and browned slightly. Toss with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh dill. Edit: I just checked out another of Dr. Dan’s videos. Apparently peas aren’t too bad. I add a small box of baby le seuer frozen peas to the sautéed cuke recipe above, cook till heated through.
I'm down 30 pounds in 4 mos. after being diagnosed as diabetic, with numbers off the charts. I refused Metformin and went keto @ 20 carbs a day. My numbers dropped dramatically, and I'm staying with keto. My doctor is in shock at my improvement. Thanks for your great ideas .... I'm a meat/fish and green veggies fanatic now.
Thanks Dr Dan, I really like your presentation. Straight to the point, and interesting. No swishing around the mulberry bush with irrelevancies. I like most of those foods. Looking forward to your new message next Tuesday. From Annetta 81 yrs in Australia. Cheers
I eat a variety of chunked vegetables for my salads. Celery, carrot, cucumber, tomato, radish, and avocado. I love all the colors and textures together. Mini bell peppers are cool and refreshing and all of the vegetables you mentioned are filling and satisfying. Thank you for your video.
Hmm…your mini-peppers inspired me to stuff raw ones with puréed and well-seasoned egg, tuna, chicken, or salmon salads. (Puréed are easier to get into small veggies, than just flaked.)
Thank you for such great info! I just roasted two heads of cauliflower to eat as a tv-watching, popcorn replacement. I don’t feel guilty if I eat a little too much! (I cut them into tiny florets, coated in olive oil with a bit of salt, although you could add any seasoning, and roasted them at 400 degrees a for almost an hour, checking and turning them every 15 minutes. They came out golden brown and delicious!) sounds like you do pretty much the same! I love roasting a bunch of vegetables at the beginning of the week, and having them available for a side dish, a snack, or salad additions during the week. This is so nice to have all these veggies on the “safe” list because I love them all!
Bok choy, with its white stalks and green tops is like two vegetables in one, and it is delicious. I stir fry it with tomatoes, crumbled tofu, and some chipotle seasoning for a great breakfast.
My daughter is a very green fingered lady...also an excellent and imaginative cook. She’s the mother of three strapping lads! She grows courgettes in profusion. The boys are thriving on her many ways of cooking courgettes. Soup, as part of a veggie side dish....even in cake. She is a wonder. We all love her and revere her culinary ingenuity ❤️
Subbed. Man going on 58 years old and have to nip in the bud this slow weight gain trend I seem to be living. A week in doing an 18-6 intermittent fast and low carb diet. Riding my bike to work as well, 12 miles round trip. Down 6 pounds in 5 days and feel pretty good. Goal is to be down at least 25 by mid July when I do turn 58.

@@MichaelTheophilus906 well, when you change your diet it takes awhile to acquire a taste for new things. I use to be a vegetarian in the early 90s and I learned to love (and still miss) morning star hamburger patties even though they gave me the worst heartburn! Same with my keto lifestyle: learning to eat all kinds of things I use to think were gross like cabbage and brussel sprouts. Lol!

Started dieting on 1st July after gaining a stone and a half due to menopause, and overeating during lockdown. After a couple of false starts I've currently lost 9 pounds, and I'm finding that eating plenty of good food, while cutting right down on carbs, is working well for me. Also my dad has type 2 diabetes, and that's obviously something I want to avoid.
Cucumbers aren't boring. I love them. And mushrooms are delicious in anything (the non-vegetable/fruit btw). I sauté them in butter and put them in my scrambled eggs with cheese.
An amazing cabbage soup recipe: Chop half of yellow cabbage, half= red cabbage, 1 whole red onion or yellow onion -not both- yellow or red.add 1 tbsp of garlic powder, 1 tbsp of onion powder yes in addition to your onions add powder, grab 2 handfuls of spring mix salad washed and add it to the pot finally--add 1 envelope of sason goya-achiote if you like shred 2 carrots let boil for 1/2 hour to 40minutes. best low card soup ever! add a favorite ingredient if you like more spice. You can have this everyday for lunch and or dinner as a filler. Just a suggestion.
Things with a seed or seeds are fruits. They are ripe plant ovaries, the fruit of the plant. Yum. Roots, leaves and stems are vegetables. Petals are modified leaves.
Just discovered your channel. 😆 This is a really helpful video for someone starting low carb or keto. I'd add celery. Also, I just discovered celeriac and successfully use it in beef stew; it's very tasty, looks like small cubes of potato! I never understand keto critics who accuse us of not eating enough veggies - there's such a variety we *can* eat...
I am a Virta patient and am on the verge of reversing diabetes that I have had for 14 years. Since I have cut carbs out, my blood pressure has gone down significantly and I have stopped taking 3 prescription drugs. Cutting carbs is a godsend.
Although I love meat I also love veggies. I even love Brussels sprouts. My mom served all those vegetables to us regularly. Perhaps that's why I love them.
Totally agree...I could never go vegan, but would also never consider going totally carnivorous, as I love vegetables too much. Particularly kale, cabbage and Brussels sprouts!
the good thing I like to your system is the measurement. you use grams instead of cup which i live in the USA and very confuse about using cup measurement. just like lettuce, how do you measure ½cup of lettuce since it take space in between, whereas, if you measure it in grams there no fooling around the volume. nice video, thanks
I agree cups seem very confusing to me. Kinda handy when you're measuring stuff out, but not when you're talking about trying to get really accurate measurements!
Avocado and tomatoes are fruit, I think! I was thrilled to see that you have aubergine and mushrooms on your list - I've been following Dr. Eric Berg previously & I think he discourages eating aubergines and mushies! He's quite hardcore actually. I'm so glad you say that they are okay! I miss mushies and aubergine! Thank you!
Dr. Ekberg has never said not to eat mushrooms or aubergines. In fact they are on his list of veg that he recommends on keto, I have just watched his video presentation and they are included.
I'm from the desert SW United States...its Gwa co moley (Mo lei) like Molly with a mole ;) I use radishes in a chicken "packet" made with foil, lots of seasonings and a little cheese. Thanks for a good video :)
If the rough chewy texture of regular kale (as opposed to dinosaur kale) turns you off, massaging it makes a world of difference. Cut or rip the leafy parts off the big stems. Cut or tear into bite-size pieces. Wash, dry, and place in a large bowl. Put olive oil on your hands, and start massaging the kale, or kneading with your fingers, till you feel it break down and soften. Season with salt and pepper, add other salad veggies, dress if you want, and enjoy a salad you’ll actually want to eat. Nala Atlas, a renowned vegan chef, demonstrated this technique to those of us attending an animal sanctuary event. Then she had us make our own. Game changer!
May have been mentioned before, but the peppers are technically berries. I have been doing the keto thing for a while, but recently found your channel. Thanks!!
I tried the cauliflower pizza base, as I have to be gluten free and doing a Keto diet. It was surprisingly good - as is cauliflower rice. It is often the texture of carbs that we miss and this is a healthy substitute.
I enjoyed your video and it was close to being very accurate. At 71 I've likely eaten a strict low carb diet for more years than you've lived so I'll offer a couple of slight corrections. Squash, divide into summer and winter varieties. Summer varieties are almost all low carb and winter varieties are medium carb. So you can eat zucchini, yellow or other varieties of summer squash as a low carb allowed vegetable. You missed the best low carb vegetable and being from england I can understand you not including it but here in the southern US okra is one very popular vegetable. At four carbs per serving it's low carb and very rich in vitamins and minerals. It can be mixed in many dishes or simply chopped and sauteed in a bit of oil until crisp without breading. Now tomatoes, peppers, and onions are medium carb foods and the amounts you eat should be limited on low carb. No unlimited vegetable eating. I limit my intake to 12 carbs per day and that allows me at least two nice servings of fresh low carb vegetables (most growing fresh in my garden right now). I eat a wide variety of greens(mustards, collards, turnip, beet, chard, kale, cabbage, brussel sprouts, spinach, lettuce). I eat everything on your list and more. There are easily two dozen very low carb vegetables that find their way to my table and some medium carb ones that I eat in smaller servings like canned carrots, beets, etc. I simply eat a half serving of each and they come in at low on the carb scale.
I truly appreciate all of your help!New here & definitely Subscribing❤Being on keto,theres SO many questions & info.Some say this others say to do that.Thank you for breaking it down & keeping it simple.I feel way more confident on my keto journey,thanks to you being a part of my journey now. Ive been living on only 5 foods. So glad to expand it. I mostly eat meat,eggs,cheese,celery with cream cheese or ranch,cucumbers,salad(with chicken & a boiled egg in it,or a deviled egg with sharp shredded cheese & tuna mixed up in the deviled egg filling & topped with crumbled bacon(protein packed) I also love zucchini fried in butter. Ive never cooked Cauliflower,never had avocado..going to try them
Thank you for this presentation and all the links ! 16 different vegetables is quite a variety. There should be several good recipes amongst this list. If one isn't available, another could easily be substituted. This is the best time of year to light up the oven, too.
Thanks, doc.I have subscribed to your channel. You taught me more about vegetables and carbs.Then many books i've read. Also supplied me with some yummy ideas of how to prepare them.❤❤❤ have you written any books?
Thank you very much Dr Dan, your resources and advice have definitely given me a great start on the keto path. I’m a previous Dr Atkins dieter and found it quite hard however he was on the right path. Keto has been much refined and your info helps greatly. Keep up the great work 😊👍
A great video Dan thank you for sharing it with us. I'm going on to a low carb diet because I have poor kidney function & was told it would help me. Thank you once again !!
Cucumbers are a big winner for me. Aside from being a good salad ingredient, I found a great but simple brine recipe and, with appropriate other ingredients/spices I make my own relishes, pickles, etc. all of which can serve as condiments, etc to add a *lot* of flavor to other dishes (for example meat and salads). A couple particular wins of DYI brine are 1] it’s easy to make “refrigerator” pickles and relishes (I.e. so you can make reasonably-sized batches and you don’t have to go through all the rigamarole of canning) and 2] since I make it myself, I have total control over the amount of sugar, which is great if you’re like me and that’s an issue.
I'm a bit puzzled. I just finished watching Ben Azadi of Keto Kamp and he was against consuming vegetables of the "Nightshade" family of which you recommend many. According to him, it's not about the carbs but chemicals that can cause inflammation in the brain. Would really appreciate your take on that.
WOW! Just found this. You are BRILLIANT! Will be following you. So glad you are also English bcse American foods seem to be so different. so you are VERY GOOD AT TEACHING, CLEAR AND CONCISE. I hate waffling.
I'm currently doing vegetarian keto with no dairy. My doctor gave me a food sensitivity test to work on reducing inflammation so she has me doing an elimination diet. So no cruciferous vegetables, dairy or tomatoes right now. Of course very limiting when trying to be keto. Have you mentioned black soybeans and jackfruit as Keto options? I'm practically living on these right now, along with zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, avocado. Found some great plant-based milks to sub for dairy -- macadamia nut milk, nutpods for coffee, Chao shreds, earth Balance vegan butter. I've lost about 10 pounds so far in 2 months. I'm also hypothyroid, so even more difficult losing weight and may be a factor in the cruciferous vegetable sensitivity.
Cool love all the vegies you mentioned It encourages me to keep on with my low card diet I'm blessed to have a very large vegie garden,have some of,the vegies already growing. Your explanation helps me get my head around keto diet etc Also makes me realise what foods I've been eating that are high carb. Have an amazing Dr Maggs👍🏻
I’m only eating low carb vegetables. I’ve cut out all meat, carbs and dairy. No bread, rice, pasta or potatoes. I’m 48, I’ve never felt better. I eat loads of tomato, spinach, mushrooms, avocado and fresh garlic. I also have an olive addiction. Crumbed and baked cauliflower is awesome!! 🤣 Cheers, from Country Victoria. Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Great video! And it's guacamole, pronouncing the final "e". It comes from mole, that means sauce, or salsa, and guaca, for Aguacate, the mexican name for Avocado :)
in its original language, "avocado" means "testicle." And you can sort of see why...though I hope that poor Aztec guy whose woman named the fruit didn't actually have green ones, but who know.
Just discovered your channel. Been doing keto for just over a week. Thanks so much for the recipes as I am adjusting to keto and excited to try new dishes as I’m keen to get more variety. Have definitely felt the “keto flu” and slowly but surely persevering and commuted to stick with it. I’m hoping to lose 10 kg long term.
Mexicans say it that way, Guatemalans say guacamol (without the e) so technically there's no right or wrong way. But guacamolE is the most widely used 🤓😎🥑. Another example: Mexicans say tamale Guatemalans say tamal (no e at the end)
I broke down and subscribed because, like another low carb dr I follow, you're straight to the point with useful info and without alotta silly unfunny inserts.
I've been working 3 shifts for over 30years and I've never seen any advice on eating healthy around these crazy working hours.when my wife is eating breakfast im tucking into a big dinner.
A million thanks Dr. and a Happy New Year to you and your family. Thanks again for the video I am Diabetic and I will try from tomorrow 01-01-2022 to eat the low carbs veggies as per your suggested list and I pray to God I reverse the diabetic. Pray for me, please.
This is the best video yet! Really good! Well produced and really informative thank you!!!!! Will look forward to the one next week too! #SeeUNextTuesday
Zucchini, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, and green beans are all fruits. They're also vegetables. Fruit is a botanical definition. Vegetable is a culinary one and is simply based on how it is used. Because of this, things can fall under both classifications. Corn for instance, is a fruit, vegetable, and a grain.
I was watching one of Thomas Delauer's videos recently and he said not to eat Bell Peppers on Keto. Anyhoo, I'm glad i found your channel I started my Keto journey yesterday, Subscribed.
How about celery, I was told it is a zero carb food i.e. you expend as much energy eating it as its calorific value. I can't stand it raw, but it goes great in soups and stews.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. For posting and free download of your guide. I will be at work during the webinar. Hope you can post some highlights. 😁😁😁😁😁
@@AussieBrit But not carbs, & if you make it yourself you can use olive oil instead which makes it keto friendly. There may have been another ingredient to sub as well but I can't recall
@@idowanna837 It is also extremely high in sodium. Shop bought ranch dressing is extremely unhealthy. I agree that if you make it yourself that it's a much better option.
@@AussieBrit I guess I'm ok w being a little dirty. If you're someone that struggles w high blood pressure, I guess you shld take this into consideration. I believe in the keto & carnivore lifestyle but I will never beat myself up for enjoying a food that is not on the list. Life is too short. And like I told my cardiologist, who wanted me to go plant-based, I'd prefer to die happy
@@idowanna837 Good for you. You will definitely die young and happy if you're eating shit-loads of saturated animal fats and/or manufactured plant based fats (like palm oil for example). Just so you know, this programme is not about ketogenic diets it is about low-carb diets, there is a big difference. If you already have a cardiologist then, good luck, you will need it.
I just recently started listening to your videos. And although this is not a scientific based video like your others, it is one of your best in my opinion. It is pronounced guacamole with a long e on the end. As a fellow physician, you are my hero. Keep it up!

May have been mentioned before, but the peppers are technically berries. I have been doing the keto thing for a while, but recently found your channel. Thanks!!
I tried the cauliflower pizza base, as I have to be gluten free and doing a Keto diet. It was surprisingly good - as is cauliflower rice. It is often the texture of carbs that we miss and this is a healthy substitute.
cauliflowe base good idea ! Thank you for inspiration.
The guide is an absolute concentrated gold. Thank you!
Jacob So true. I’m going to save it.
nice video jeremy
POWER BABY
Hurrah! British UA-camr!! Love this post as I’m a UK vegan and trying to move to low carb to supplement fasting... any simple info always good :-)
Your channel and website are just the best! I’m new to keto and want to do it well. Your content is perfect!
I enjoyed your video and it was close to being very accurate. At 71 I've likely eaten a strict low carb diet for more years than you've lived so I'll offer a couple of slight corrections. Squash, divide into summer and winter varieties. Summer varieties are almost all low carb and winter varieties are medium carb. So you can eat zucchini, yellow or other varieties of summer squash as a low carb allowed vegetable. You missed the best low carb vegetable and being from england I can understand you not including it but here in the southern US okra is one very popular vegetable. At four carbs per serving it's low carb and very rich in vitamins and minerals. It can be mixed in many dishes or simply chopped and sauteed in a bit of oil until crisp without breading. Now tomatoes, peppers, and onions are medium carb foods and the amounts you eat should be limited on low carb. No unlimited vegetable eating. I limit my intake to 12 carbs per day and that allows me at least two nice servings of fresh low carb vegetables (most growing fresh in my garden right now). I eat a wide variety of greens(mustards, collards, turnip, beet, chard, kale, cabbage, brussel sprouts, spinach, lettuce). I eat everything on your list and more. There are easily two dozen very low carb vegetables that find their way to my table and some medium carb ones that I eat in smaller servings like canned carrots, beets, etc. I simply eat a half serving of each and they come in at low on the carb scale.
I truly appreciate all of your help!New here & definitely Subscribing❤Being on keto,theres SO many questions & info.Some say this others say to do that.Thank you for breaking it down & keeping it simple.I feel way more confident on my keto journey,thanks to you being a part of my journey now. Ive been living on only 5 foods. So glad to expand it. I mostly eat meat,eggs,cheese,celery with cream cheese or ranch,cucumbers,salad(with chicken & a boiled egg in it,or a deviled egg with sharp shredded cheese & tuna mixed up in the deviled egg filling & topped with crumbled bacon(protein packed) I also love zucchini fried in butter. Ive never cooked Cauliflower,never had avocado..going to try them
Thank you for this presentation and all the links !
16 different vegetables is quite a variety. There should be several good recipes amongst this list. If one isn't available, another could easily be substituted.
This is the best time of year to light up the oven, too.
Absolutely! Happy cooking!
Thanks, doc.I have subscribed to your channel. You taught me more about vegetables and carbs.Then many books i've read. Also supplied me with some yummy ideas of how to prepare them.❤❤❤ have you written any books?
Thank you very much Dr Dan, your resources and advice have definitely given me a great start on the keto path. I’m a previous Dr Atkins dieter and found it quite hard however he was on the right path. Keto has been much refined and your info helps greatly. Keep up the great work 😊👍
so happy we got many colours of eggplant here in indonesia... green, white, purple ... 🥰
I love the way he says tomato .,so cute😂
Btw this video is so helpful👍🏻
it's how it's supposed to be said, remember we invented English 😉x
We think the way you Americans say it is funny and cool. English accent way is the original ;)
A great video Dan thank you for sharing it with us. I'm going on to a low carb diet because I have poor kidney function & was told it would help me. Thank you once again !!
I also like Brussel sprouts and parsnips.
Yes to Brussell Sprouts.. Parsnips are no along with carrots and sweet potatoes ... Too much sugar
Loved your presentation. So informative and entertaining as well. The lighter and funny side of vegetables is appealing. thanks.
Why did the mushroom throw a party?
Because he was a fun-guy!
Ba dum tss
How many net carbs in Dr, Dan's FACE FUNGUS?
Lol😆 🤣 😂
Cute
But only 2 went because there wasn't mush-room 😂
Ouch.
Cucumbers are a big winner for me.
Aside from being a good salad ingredient, I found a great but simple brine recipe and, with appropriate other ingredients/spices I make my own relishes, pickles, etc. all of which can serve as condiments, etc to add a *lot* of flavor to other dishes (for example meat and salads).
A couple particular wins of DYI brine are 1] it’s easy to make “refrigerator” pickles and relishes (I.e. so you can make reasonably-sized batches and you don’t have to go through all the rigamarole of canning) and 2] since I make it myself, I have total control over the amount of sugar, which is great if you’re like me and that’s an issue.
I'm a bit puzzled. I just finished watching Ben Azadi of Keto Kamp and he was against consuming vegetables of the "Nightshade" family of which you recommend many. According to him, it's not about the carbs but chemicals that can cause inflammation in the brain.
Would really appreciate your take on that.
He is covering the carb aspect only in this video. Nightshades can be very inflammatory for many so it is best to stay away.
This is excellent and I love cauliflower. Mushroom is neither a fruit or a vegetable, avocado and tomato are fruits....right? Thanks Dr Dan.😍
GREAT mate good to hear a country man speak.....love ya ✌🇬🇧✌🇬🇧😎
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
WOW! Just found this. You are BRILLIANT! Will be following you. So glad you are also English bcse American foods seem to be so different. so you are VERY GOOD AT TEACHING, CLEAR AND CONCISE. I hate waffling.
Thank you! Really appreciate this comment.
Thank you. All together in one place at last. Great info.
I'm currently doing vegetarian keto with no dairy. My doctor gave me a food sensitivity test to work on reducing inflammation so she has me doing an elimination diet. So no cruciferous vegetables, dairy or tomatoes right now. Of course very limiting when trying to be keto. Have you mentioned black soybeans and jackfruit as Keto options? I'm practically living on these right now, along with zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, avocado. Found some great plant-based milks to sub for dairy -- macadamia nut milk, nutpods for coffee, Chao shreds, earth Balance vegan butter. I've lost about 10 pounds so far in 2 months. I'm also hypothyroid, so even more difficult losing weight and may be a factor in the cruciferous vegetable sensitivity.
I'm from Arizona, USA...it's Guacamole (guac-a-mol-ayyyy). You are welcome! 🌵🌶
They are small and very expensive in the UK.
With a "G" sound? In Texas, we say "WOKah- molay".
Carolanne Titmus. They aren't cheap in the USA either.
@@jackiecampbell3401 .....try Mexican markets like Fiesta Food Stores
@@jackiecampbell3401 try Indian markets. Its much cheaper here.
Great video. Just starting low carb diets and this will help a lot, thank you!
Cool love all the vegies you mentioned
It encourages me to keep on with my low card diet
I'm blessed to have a very large vegie garden,have some of,the vegies already growing.
Your explanation helps me get my head around keto diet etc
Also makes me realise what foods I've been eating that are high carb.
Have an amazing Dr Maggs👍🏻
what about celery?
I’m only eating low carb vegetables. I’ve cut out all meat, carbs and dairy. No bread, rice, pasta or potatoes. I’m 48, I’ve never felt better. I eat loads of tomato, spinach, mushrooms, avocado and fresh garlic. I also have an olive addiction. Crumbed and baked cauliflower is awesome!! 🤣 Cheers, from Country Victoria. Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks so much for the list, didn't know we could eat bell peppers and eggplants as well as radish. That makes things a lot easier!
Jolly good show. Red cabbage, red bell peppers, and shiitake mushrooms are on the watch list, though.
Great video! And it's guacamole, pronouncing the final "e". It comes from mole, that means sauce, or salsa, and guaca, for Aguacate, the mexican name for Avocado :)
in its original language, "avocado" means "testicle." And you can sort of see why...though I hope that poor Aztec guy whose woman named the fruit didn't actually have green ones, but who know.
Great information with delightful humor. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your sixteen low carb vegetables.
Love the avocado, cut in half, and place a little of the homemade dressing (olive oil/vinegar) with herbs and raw garlic in the holes.
"Be a fungi and let me know which is neither a vegetable or fruit." Yeah, it's cute. We all got it.
Yeah, kept in the dark and fed on sh*t...hahaha...
Fungi are closer to animals than plants.
Not mushroom for debate!
what ever a thing produces, it is called it's fruit. we are the fruit of our parents' loins. lol I'm serious, it is scientific!
Cauliflower can be roasted, sprinkled w/turmeric olive oil & salt! Great dish!
Oohh The accent is love 🙏🥰 thanks Dr. Maggs got my NET CARBS IN FOOD already.
Just discovered your channel. Been doing keto for just over a week. Thanks so much for the recipes as I am adjusting to keto and excited to try new dishes as I’m keen to get more variety. Have definitely felt the “keto flu” and slowly but surely persevering and commuted to stick with it. I’m hoping to lose 10 kg long term.
OH ITS GUACAMOLE WITH AN E. LOVE YOUR ACCENT
Mexicans say it that way, Guatemalans say guacamol (without the e) so technically there's no right or wrong way. But guacamolE is the most widely used 🤓😎🥑. Another example: Mexicans say tamale Guatemalans say tamal (no e at the end)
I broke down and subscribed because, like another low carb dr I follow, you're straight to the point with useful info and without alotta silly unfunny inserts.
I've been working 3 shifts for over 30years and I've never seen any advice on eating healthy around these crazy working hours.when my wife is eating breakfast im tucking into a big dinner.
Oh my gosh, you are the best! I am so grateful to have found you.❤ Thank you!
As much as I want of each. So good to know.
Courgette, aubergine, asparagus, broccoli, mushrooms, avacadoes, tomatoes, cabbage, olives, green leafy vegetables, lettuce, cucumber, radishes and green beans
Also peppers but they suck
Watching from Taiwan
But originally from Philippines
Thanks Doctor, I have big respect and love for all original British people May God bless all
I love zucchini and you can do so many different things with eggplants! These are all great ideas! Cheers!
+Adriana Girdler Thanks Adriana! :-)
In the US all summer squash (yellow or green) is GMO - grow it yourself.
Thank You Dr. Dan For Your Informative Video.
I live off cauliflower. I lost over 100lbs with it!!
Congratulations!! So proud for you
Woah sooooo cool!
Gosh that’s all of me , I don’t weigh quite a 100lb
Can you please share how you normally eat your cauliflower? Any specific go to’s ?
@@beyondblessed2207 all I eat is meat and veggies...one day a week I indulge. I eat cali as a rice, potatoes, bread, cooked, uncooked..
My most go to veg are aubergines, cabbage, green veg, green beans mostly stir fries. And avocados of course! Yummy!
What about the lonely bok choy ? It can makes amazing soups.
An amazing brassica.
It goes with cabbage.
A million thanks Dr. and a Happy New Year to you and your family. Thanks again for the video I am Diabetic and I will try from tomorrow 01-01-2022 to eat the low carbs veggies as per your suggested list and I pray to God I reverse the diabetic. Pray for me, please.
This is the best video yet! Really good! Well produced and really informative thank you!!!!!
Will look forward to the one next week too! #SeeUNextTuesday
See you #now!
@Vicky Jackson That wasn't very lady-like Vicky...

Best video about veggies PERIOD!
you are the lord of low carb
Lama Jigme Gyatso: the Rational Contemplative 🤗
Nice to see an English UA-camr that talks about English health it make a pleasant change from Americans
The avocado is technically a fruit. I only just learned that yesterday in a keto video. It never really mattered.
Charming, and very useful. Cheers!
Zucchini, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, and green beans are all fruits. They're also vegetables. Fruit is a botanical definition. Vegetable is a culinary one and is simply based on how it is used. Because of this, things can fall under both classifications.
Corn for instance, is a fruit, vegetable, and a grain.
Avocado is a 🍐
I was watching one of Thomas Delauer's videos recently and he said not to eat Bell Peppers on Keto.
Anyhoo, I'm glad i found your channel I started my Keto journey yesterday, Subscribed.
How about celery, I was told it is a zero carb food i.e. you expend as much energy eating it as its calorific value. I can't stand it raw, but it goes great in soups and stews.
By all means include celery on your shopping list for low carb vegetables !!!
My freind was boiling it and drink it she lost a lot of weight
@@lilianeumuhoza5152 pray tell, how do you boil the celery then drink it? Does she blend it and then boil it? Explain please!
Kohl rabbi too. Eat it raw in thin slices or grated, boil or steam, also Makes a wonderful soup
Okra! (my favorite)
Brussel sprouts? Yum.
Now I'm starving. LOL
read the labels on canned vegs . salt content in tomatoes .
thanks for this list !
Fresh - Ripe - Raw - Local - Organic
In South Africa, we call zucchini “baby marrow” and I have no idea why 🤪
Lol.. Its easier to spell
EWWWWWWWW
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. For posting and free download of your guide. I will be at work during the webinar. Hope you can post some highlights. 😁😁😁😁😁
How about Brussels sprouts?
Enjoyed. Video very informative keep it going thanks jeff
Ranch dressing I see is also VERY low on carbs (2g's /serving)
AND Frank's Red Hot! 0 carbs!!!
WINGS! WINGS! WINGS!
Ranch dressing is full of unhealthy fats.
@@AussieBrit
But not carbs, & if you make it yourself you can use olive oil instead which makes it keto friendly. There may have been another ingredient to sub as well but I can't recall
@@idowanna837 It is also extremely high in sodium. Shop bought ranch dressing is extremely unhealthy. I agree that if you make it yourself that it's a much better option.
@@AussieBrit
I guess I'm ok w being a little dirty. If you're someone that struggles w high blood pressure, I guess you shld take this into consideration. I believe in the keto & carnivore lifestyle but I will never beat myself up for enjoying a food that is not on the list. Life is too short. And like I told my cardiologist, who wanted me to go plant-based, I'd prefer to die happy
@@idowanna837 Good for you. You will definitely die young and happy if you're eating shit-loads of saturated animal fats and/or manufactured plant based fats (like palm oil for example). Just so you know, this programme is not about ketogenic diets it is about low-carb diets, there is a big difference. If you already have a cardiologist then, good luck, you will need it.
I am abt to start to do keto diet thank God I found your videos , they're really helpful 😍 keep up the good work 👏
Check out dr Eric Berg videos for keto also!!
*It's helpful to have this knowledge when planning meals. Thanks for sharing!*
I just recently started listening to your videos. And although this is not a scientific based video like your others, it is one of your best in my opinion. It is pronounced guacamole with a long e on the end. As a fellow physician, you are my hero. Keep it up!
