I disagree with this advice. I think getting carbs as low as you're personally able to and maximizing fat + protein is going to be way more successful

That diet is good for weight loss it’s not good for overall health. Search on google scholar about “Whole food plant based diet” you will find many studies on this diet especially focusing on cardiovascular health improvements.

A good starter is the BROAD study: https://www.nature.com/articles/nutd20173
