I get annoyed at all these gymheads who keep harping on how essential meat is and how vegetables are full of carbs. They're not. Meat and animal products should only be supplementary to your diet, and not make up the crux of it.
You can eat salads and vegetables all day long and be considered on a low-carb diet. You're getting into high school level semantics about what a carb is and what a protein is. Did you know that PLANTS have PROTEIN too? Yeah, must've blown your mind with that one, huh.
Bottom line, vegetables are the basis of any healthy diet, including low-carb diets.

Bottom line, ("healthy")VARIETY is the basis of any healthy diet. Spanning the entire spectrum of nutrients/vitamins/minerals available.
I like your point which hits on the conservation of energy, which is the basis of weight loss. Consuming less than you expend = weight loss. Exercise and diet will play a part on where that weight loss predominately comes from.
