do you like green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, radishes.....you have to eat more than lettuce and cucumber.

How about taking 1/2 c pumpkin, some cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice, splenda and vanilla - microwave this and eat it hot or cold - it has a lot of fiber and is a great way to get veggies in. Do you like avocado- it is a good fat and has a higher carb count.

Oils you use to cook also have carbs.....about the only thing that doesn't have carbs is meat - and that also depends on how it's cooked and what type of meat it is. Eggs and cheese have carbs -- that counts toward your daily total .... look at the list of veggies again - there must be SOMETHING you like here:

Vegetables
You can have two to three cups per day of:

alfalfa sprouts
daikon
mushrooms
arugula
endive
parsley
bok choy
escarole
peppers
celery
fennel
radicchio
chicory
jicama
radishes
chives
lettuce
romaine lettuce
cucumber
moche
sorrel
These salad vegetables are high in phytonutrients and provide a good source of fiber.

Other Vegetables
You can have one cup per day of these veggies if salad does not exceed two cups. The following vegetables are slightly higher in carbohydrate content than the salad vegetables:

artichoke
celery root
pumpkin
artichoke hearts
rhubarb
asparagus
chard
sauerkraut
bamboo shoots
collard greens
scallions
dandelion
snow peas
bean sprouts
dandelion greens
spaghetti squash
beet greens
eggplant
spinach
broccoli
hearts of palm
string or wax beans
broccoli rabe
kale
summer squash
brussels
kohlrabi
tomato
bean sprouts
leeks
turnips
cabbage
okra
water chestnuts
cauliflower
onion
zucchini
If a vegetable, such as spinach or tomato, cooks down significantly, it must be measured raw so as not to underestimate its carb count.
