A diet high in complex carbohydrates (i.e. fiber), is definitely healthier than a diet high in fat. Foods that have a lot of fiber, like fruits, vegetables, and whole-grains, tend to have less calories, and more vitamins and minerals.
Foods that are high in fat have more calories. While you get the benefit of fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids, you do not need to consume large amounts of fat to get adequate amounts.
The recommended diet by the government is one where 60% of calories come from carbohydrates, 30% come from fat, and 10% come from protein.

Well if you are talking about good fats yes, and high in carbs maybe if you are trying to lose weight then yes. First good fats, are primary good far you such as legumes, beans, cheese, and extra lean meat because these fats dont store them, they are actually used for many parts in your functions ATP, enzymes, and other body organisms. You should look for poly-, mono-, and unsaturated fats those are only found in plants and some fish. NEVER EVER GO FOR: trans fats, saturated fats or the ingredient labelled as partially hydrogenated stuff that's how the guy in Super Sizeme got so sick and threw up (if you haven't watched it, I highly recommend you watch, because the movie will change your thoughts about fast foods). High carbvs are good because your body system doesn't have to deal with the fats and can break down into good nutrients or use in the body (I haven't taken human antomy yet).

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
Get started today!

It all depends on your blood type. Look into 'blood-type diet' on a search engine.
