Not necessarily - it depends which vegie you mean.
The best thing to do is to use Fitday ( www.fitday.com if you are not familiar with it) and enter the particular veg you want to use.
I tend to think you can have more than the 2 cups salad and 1 cup "other" veg from the approved list and still lose well. But that's just my opinion.
I made a list ages ago of how you can have 7 cups of vegies and still come in under 20g net carbs. Here it is:
2 cups lettuce - remember iceberg lettuce has fewer nutrients than lettuces such as romaine - the ones with darker leaves are generally better.
½ cup peppers
½ cup cucumber
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup broccoli
1 cup asparagus
1 cup cauliflower
2 fluid ounces heavy cream
According to Fitday, this gives you a total of 31g carbs, 12g fibre - making a total of only 19 net carbs.
