I'm struggling please help.
Which veggies are the best to fill me up with the lowest amount of carbs. I eat asparagus tomatoes and mushrooms but the carbs do still creep up plus here in the UK they are quite expensive especially asparagus.
Any ideas greatfully accepted

Spinach, courgette, broccoli - any lettuces - you can make a rocket salad with a creamy dressing and add some cheese and chicken to it.
Basically, if it is grown underground - avoid such as potatoes and carrots.
Leafy greens and cruciferous veg are good.
Avoid fruits except berries in small amounts.0 -
Green leafies such as spinach, Kale, broccoli, bimi, bok choy, pak choy, collard greens plus cauliflower, avocado, brussel sprouts,lettuce, and as you said mushrooms, , tomato, asparagus. Non root vegies are the target for lower carbs.1

Onions saute in butter. Cabbage saute in bacon2

I have a green smoothie every morning with any three of bok choy, spinach, avocado, cucumber, romaine lettuce, broccoli, kale, and chard. I alternate daily between spinach and bok choy. Add in one of Chia Seeds, Flax Seeds, or Heart Hemp plus some sea salt, and fresh ginger. I also add a sugar substitute (stevia in my case). Lots of vegies, 317 to 320 calories, and between 4 to 6 net carbs.0

Should also mention courgette (zuchini), celery and cucumber.0

I get the frozen chopped spinach from Sainsbury's or Tesco - 100g is 0.5g net carbs and it's fantastic for you

All of the above, plus endives and celery for a cool crunch.

I recently learned how to cook a new side dish
Fennel and leeks. It is yummy and something different!
Fennel slices can be mixed with thin sliced Brussel sprouts as part of salad that isn't just leafy.0
