Even as a vegetarian I low-carb. Well a better term would be low-glycemic.. It's not quite as good as a real low-carb diet for my health but I'm a vegetarian out of compassion, not health.
You are quite wrong
Most carbs are quite needed for your body, you shouldn't do low carb, do low processed sugar, it's the sugary foods that cause weight gain and are unhealthy.
Carbohydrates are the main energy source for the body, they also include fiber, a carb which has no weight gain possibilities because it is absorbed into the body. Not to mention some of the healthiest foods in the world are comprised of mostly carbs, starches and fruit sugars are carbs. Complex carbs, starches and fiber are best for you though, like grains and such.
People on Atkins who cut out carbs majorly suffer many problems because of it.
The best diet to consider is a low-glycemic one, that's compromised of food which won't alter your blood sugar levels as such and takes longer to digest thus making your body burn it off.
