Hi there,
I too almost always have a serving of veggies with my dinner; usually, spinach or broccoli.
This explanation isn't exactly scientific or technical, but logically, if you're on a low carbohydrate diet to begin with--and Induction limit of 20 net carbs certainly qualifties as low--there isn't much to fret over if you have a typical serving of veggies during dinner. Just ensure you're not having dinner at 11 pm and sleeping by 11:30 or something along those lines. For instance, a normal person at rest--the RMR (resting metabolic rate) is around 70 - 80 per hour. So, if you, say, have a cup of spinach (about 41 kcals) or a serving of broccoil (about 30 kcals) those carbs--especially since you're on low carb to start the day, will all most likely be used up as fuel before you go to sleep.
Just ensure you don't carb load right before sleeping.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
