More than 49 things to be precise. So many people who are dialing in their diet, whether it be for competion prep or just improved health stick to the same list of 3 or 4 green vegetables. I can even be found guilty of this myself. It’s so easy to go to the vegie shop and just buy spinach, broccoli, green capsicums and mushrooms that sometimes we forget that there is a world of vegetables out there that are low-carbohydrates and high in fibre.

To help make your shopping and eating more exciting I”ve compiled this list of 50 different vegies that are low in carbohydrates and mostly fibre:
