    Considering plants are mostly carbohydrates, I don't see how they can be "low carb". This is just clickbait and not the sort of content that made me subscribe to this blog, so I am unsubscribing.

      Oh man sorry to hear that you didn't like this post! Many plants are low-carb and can make VERY fulfilling meals: cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, avocado, eggplant, etc. I definitely stated that these are not necessarily keto recipes - you might not be able to stay under 20 carbs a day by eating vegan, but these are certainly lower carb compared to eating pasta, rice, potatoes, yuca, etc.
