9. Milk
Milk is an excellent source of protein, essential nutrients, and vitamins. It’s also a fairly high source of carbs. What’s more, the carb count stays the same regardless of whether you’re drinking 2%, 1%, fat free or whole milk. While milk in moderation isn’t necessarily detrimental to a low carb diet, it’s definitely something to be consumed in moderation. Some quality low carb alternatives to milk are flax milk, pea milk, and nut milk. These alternatives have virtually zero carbs and can be consumed to your hearts content, guilt free.
10. Starchy Vegetables
Most vegetables are extremely healthy and low in carbs, there are some exceptions however. That’s where the starchy boys come in. Veggies like potatoes, corn, beets and sweet potatoes contain more carbs than digestible fiber and rank high in our high carbohydrate food chain. While still healthy, their carb count is definitely on the high side and should be avoided by those with dietary restrictions looking to cut back on carbs.
