You're thinking of starchy (carb) foods like potato. Normal vegetables contain carbohydrates but definitely not enough to be classified as "extremely high". They contain just the right amount to be healthy. Like the sugar in fruits are healthy because the fruits contain fiber and whatnot to help digest the sugars properly. But whereas fruits should be eaten in moderation or for strenuous activities, vegetables are so low in kilojoules that you cannot eat too much.
Having enough meat and fruit and vegetables combined is good if you are not disproportionately making any of those categories bigger than the others. You need the right amount of carbs, fiber, and antioxidants along with getting enough protein. What you're saying seems to lean maybe a little too close to the Adkins or Zone style eating. I do agree that nuts are healthy also. But instead of lots of meat with some vegetables and a small amount of fruit, the meat, vegetables, and fruit should all be close to the same amounts of food in a healthy eating lifestyle change.
Healthiest diet?

just my opinion but a diet of a lot of red meat and some vegetables and a small amount of fruit and nuts is pretty healthy

"Some vegetables"
It should be mostly veg, with some meat and some starch. Why are people so reluctant to eat the healthiest, tastiest and most natural food type?
