Basically most'green' veggies can be eaten plentifully on a low carb diet. Some others you can include on a smaller scale are:

Now try and imagine what you can do with some of these vegatables and some meat. Well let's just take a look at an easy recipe you can make right away.
Veggie Meatloaf
To make a vegan meatloaf will take you simply an hour at most. Then each slice you eat will just be 2-3 carbs maximum and you'll be ready to get around 8 slices out of it. It contains plenty of low carb veggies too.
So what do you need?
1 Pound of lean ground beef
1 Pound of ground chicken
1 red pepper ( massive )
2 spoons of cubed carrots
1 celery stalk
Quarter of a cup of mozzarella cheese
Quarter of a cup of scraped parmesan cheese
And then what to do with it all:
Add all of the beef into a bowl and mix together with the egg. Then add the veggies into a saucepan and saut them with a bit of butter till they're soft. Leave them to cool down for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the meat. Then mix it all together correctly ( yes, you'll have to get your hands soiled ). When you have done this, add all of the other ingredients apart from the cheese. Put it to the side and turn on your cooker to 375 degrees F and allow it to preheat. Then put the meatloaf into the cooker for around forty five mins.
Enjoy your low carb veggies!
