You need carbs to live. Complex carbs, such as whole grains and cooked vegetables, are your friends. They don't tweak you blood sugar and insulin levels and you won't get fat consuming them.

Losing weight rapidly requires a special kind of diet. But if you don't know how to eat right when you arrive at your target weight then losing weight will just be a temporary accomplishment.

The bottom line is that learning to feed yourself a proper diet is far more important than rapid weight loss.

Almost that whole statement is factually wrong. You don't need carbs to live. There is no requirement for carbs. As far as your statement on complex carbs you need to take a look at the glycemic index.
