Advice on low fibre veggies needed please

[ladybird64]

As it says in the title. Can anybody with more knowledge than I think of veg that won't be too carby but it must not be high fibre, such as savoy or spring greens. My favourites

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi ladybird,

It's a difficult one as it means avoiding peel, stalks and seeds and a lot of the choices are not diabetes friendly.


Some links that may help,

The latter seems to give more variety.

Vegetables and Potatoes

Low fibre (suitable)

Where possible, avoid skins, seeds and stalks. Keep to a maximum of 2 portions a day, in addition to potato. Try to spread your vegetables throughout the day.

Asparagus Aubergine Beetroot Carrot Celery Courgette Cucumber Leeks Lettuce

Marrow Mushroom Onion

Pepper Potato* Radish

Swede Tomato (you would have to peel the tomatoes and de-seed them).

Many thanks Catherine, as I feared, not diabetic friendly in the slightest.

Oh well, some more weight loss is in the offing, there is no way I'm eating white refined anything. I suppose that is one good thing lol.

There should be loads of articles online of perfect veggies for you to eat! No carbs, lower insulin. It's all good for me!
