Dr Berg encourages that most or all of your carbs be in the form of green leafy vegetables. Large amounts of low carb vegetables are needed to get for example the Recommended Daily Allowance of pottassium and B vitamins.
For example, the RDA is 1600 to 2000 mg. You would need to eat 4 to 5 bananas daily to get that much. So he recommends kale shakes and salads to get that much. Keto and intermittent fasting is the only thing that keeps my blood sugar under control.
