Default Can't stay in ketosis and eat other veggies

Hi
Has this happened to anyone on extended induction...if I add any veggies other than the same old boring salad vegetables, I fall out of ketosis. And I'm not talking about a lot of other veggies. I love broccoli and have tried various amounts of it--down to 1/8 cup 2 days ago and ANY amount will knock my ketostick right back to beige! I have also tried adding onions (green ones) and tomato, spinach, and zucchini (all at different times of course, and never over a cup. I can't afford to keep leaving ketosis--I want to keep losing weight. Is this normal? Do I never get to have anything other than protein and salad??? I was congratulating myself that I wasn't metabolically resistant because I'm losing weight--but now after the problems adding new veggies, I'm thinking that I probably am resistant.

Sample Menu
B: bacon, egg
L: tuna, mayo, salad greens 1.5 cups
D: grilled chicken, swiss cheese, salad greens 1.5 cups, 1 Tbl. bleu cheese
Snack if needed: 2 mozzarella sticks or deviled egg

I don't drink anything other than water, I take supplements that do not have any sugar or carbs and I exercise. Am I missing something? I am losing weight, but I would love to have some cooked veggies too.
