Carrots are not listed in the allowed vegetables list for induction, but they should be okay in the ongoing weight loss phase. 1/2 cup of shredded carrot has about 4 grams of carb. I believe the reason that the are not allowed during induction is that they are higher on the glycemic index than other veggies. Unless you are using a large quantity of them, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just make sure you count the carbs in your daily allowance. HTH
