Yes. But don't really count at all on maintenance.
I don't count most vegetables but don't eat root vegetables -- potatoes, beets, most turnips,etc. -- at all. Didn't on induction. On maintenance, I don't really count anything. I just don't eat any starch: rice, pasta, bread, etc. Eat a lot of lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, eggplant, ad lib. Trans fats are bad but easily avoided. The dangers in saturated fat, however, are greatly exaggerated. Substituting carbs in place of saturated fat-containing foods (like butter) increases risk for cardiovascular disease.
