Look for veggies that grow above ground. Lettuces are very low carb, so you
can enjoy a salad with some meat and no-sugar salad dressing. Just skip the
croutons. Cabbage fried in bacon fat is another great side dish. Add some
bacon for even more flavor! Jalapeños can be stuffed with cream cheese and
cheddar cheese and baked in the oven, cauliflower makes a great substitute
for mashed potatoes if you squeeze the moisture out and load it up with
cream, butter, and salt.
Be sure to use veggies as a vehicle for healthy fats, which will keep you
from feeling hungry. Note: Healthier fats are fats found in their natural
form and they taste good in their natural form. Use real butter, olive oil,
coconut oil, and lard. Highly processed fats are less healthy, and margarine
and seed/vegetable oils are less tasty.
