I eat mostly fats and the required amount of proteins. Then a little % of carbs that comes exclusively from veggies. Broccoli, cabbage, salad, tomatoes and leafy greens in general. It's not really necessary to do this to stay healthy, I just started doing it because I was curious (it's called ketogenic diet btw) and it's working very well for me, so I'm sticking with it. Switching from carbs to fats is not so hard. Fats have more calories than anything else and really fill your stomach since they have a high satiating power, so getting to your needed 2000Kcals or so is very easy. But still, you can have your carbs if you want. Just try to eat non-refined carbs. Those are very unhealthy and the main cause of several deseases linked to hormonal disfunctions (like diabetes...). White bread, refined sugar, white pasta and pizza...those are all bad for your body. Try to switch to whole grain stuff.
However, when I said that the combination of fats and carbs is unhealthy I meant that eating them together in a single meal is not a good idea. Of course the worst thing you can do to your body would be eating fat heavy sweets. Fats+sugar is simply toxic. This has been known for a while now. Clearly, this doesn't mean you can't touch that stuff ever again. But you should be cautious about what you put in your body at least.
Oh, and by the way fruits are fine because they contain a lot of vitamins and minerals, so even if they have some sugar it's no big deal.
