Low carb diets do not neglect vegetables, if you're eating a proper low carb diet then about half of your food volume should be coming from things like broccoli, cauliflower, and spinach. https://www.thekitchn.com/10-vegetables-that-are-lower-in-carbs-than-you-think-253337

Low carb diets still eat about 50-75 grams of carbs a day, and that's a lot of broccoli.

I did a keto diet for about a year. Every meal was about 2/3 veggies. The problem with low carb diets is most people don't do them healthy. They see that certain things are listed as ok to eat and they just eat that and don't follow a balanced regimented diet.

That's what I try to explain to my friends. Keto can be looked at two ways.

Red keto - mostly meat, eggs, cheese

Green keto - getting a majority of nutrition from vegetables and avocados, etc

The red keto diet isn't as good for you as green keto is.
