Grn & Yel above Gnd: Lots of choices: most above ground & some below ground vegetables are probably good choices, fresh better if able, so lots of options. The high carb ones to avoid are corn, potatoes, cooked carrots (raw ok). Steam, add butter or real cheese if desired for flavor, etc.

Low glycemic index: Glycemic index is a numerical value assigned to foods indicating how high and how quickly your blood sugar spikes after ingesting that food. The lower the score, the better. Tables of glycemic index scores for most foods are available. Add low glycemic index veggies to your low carb diet. Also, olive oil, vinegar, fiber, spices , and pure green coffee bean extract will reduce post-meal sugars.
