It really depends on how much carbs you are eating overall. Without dairy I get very few carbs. I can eat 3 cups of the salad, plus 2 cups from the other catagory and have way low net carbs for the day. This is because of all the fiber. Basicaly the amounts set up for veggies, cheeses and so on ar eso you can follow the acceptable foods list and not really have to count carbs. As long as you stick to the limits he's set forth, you will be under 20g of carbs. Once you start playing with your menus you may find that you can include a ton more veggies and keep low to carbs. More veggies is the first thing you add back in OWL.
When I first started induction I thought of spinich as a salad green and would have a ton of that. I've since switched to prebagged spring mix. Rememebr the darker lettuces are more nutrient rich then iceburg.
Tomatos are not a veggie, they are a fruit. Be careful they can cause some people to go out of induction, they are ok in moderation though for most. Spinich and broccoli are so high fiber, eat away I like having 1/4 cup spinich with my eggs in the morning. Another trick is to shred a Zucchini into hash browns. Almost no cals or carbs. Cauliflower can also make a great fake rice or mashed potato. Experiment with veggies and get most of your carbs from there. They have more fiber and nutrients, plus lower cal, then most other carb sources.
