I think you're there already. Your doctor may be concerned about insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome causing more than usual metabolic trouble with intake of low fiber carbs but I doubt your doc is concerned about the number of carbs in veggies.

My thinking is that this is the weight loss phase and I'm going to be a little…

Take it one day at a time. The times when I quit are times when I think too long-term (i.e. am I really going to stick to this for months, years like I need to). Just commit to doing your exercise and eating right today. Then wake up in the morning and focus on the day again.
