I'd question the actual health benefits of any diet that restricts fresh fruit. The vitamin, mineral, and anti-oxidants of fruits probably far outweigh any weight gain they might cause. The low-carb diet basically force the body into ketosis (which is what happens when you are starving) and it's not all the healthy a state to be in. Slimmer and healthy is the goal, not slimmer and unhealthy. Cut out the added sugars and refined carbohydrates, but for actual health (not weight -- don't confuse the two), eat those fruits!
