when choosing carbs, think in terms of natural vs refined. potatoes, brown rice, whole grain oats, fruits and veggies are natural while avoiding white rice or bread and ingredients that say enriched.
and no you do not need to completely eliminate fat from your diet. fat is needed by the body even saturated fat, not too much of course. a good fat intake is somewhere around 20% of total calories consumed.

Brown rice and sweet potatoes are very good for you.
