A high-carb low-protein diet probably is a good recipe for having a healthy brain when you tip over - you'll die of diabetes or heart disease well before you get a chance to get squishy.
Most vegetables are carbs, milk and yogourt have tons of carbs (in the form of lactose), lentils are carbs, beans? still carbs, etc. I'm not sure how you can have a cheap low-carb diet (lots of eggs and ham? dissolving multivitamin and whey protein into avocado puree?).
That's the reality of most people's high-carb diets.
I eat less than 20 carbs a day.
With 200 grams of protein and about 150 grams of fat. I feel great. Can go without food cravings all day. My CrossFit has improved and I have set 2 PRs in two weeks on weights.
I believe in low carb diets. And have seen them work for many folks at my CrossFit box.

> "Many carbs are bad due to heavy processing and added sugars/fats, many are good such as fruits and vegetables."
Counter example: adding apple syrup is good? (Hint no to an extend: as it is mostly fructose and glucose, even if some nutrients remain)
In my opinion you fall into the oversimplification trap yourself.
And as with everything food related, moderation is good.
I didn't mean to imply that if it's processed that automatically = bad and if it isn't that automatically = good, although it's a pretty good rule of thumb. I was just using it to illustrate that there are vastly different types of carbs in terms of nutrition.
