You could use fibrous or high water vegetables... (lettuce, celery, cucumber, broccoli etc etc)...

Then just make sure you are getting enough protein and an adequate level of fats.

But one of the aims of cutting carbs from your diet is that you are trying to create a calorie deficiency - so you don't really "replace them" with anything because you need to make sure that this deficiency is maintained.
