There are a lot of differing opinions on this, and the data is not all in yet. One thing is: the Japanese, as a nation, are way skinnier than Americans, and they eat a lot of carbs, mostly rice. There really isn't any correlation between "overall carbs" and "obesity" in any country data I've seen. Some people do not do well on a diet that has a lot of meat. Some can live happily off chunks of butter and cheese. Others do better on a diet that is mostly vegetables. It's probably safe to say that most junk snack foods are not a great idea, but some people on Fast-5 eat those too and still lose weight.
The thing to do is experiment, see what YOUR body wants. Fast-5 makes it easy to do that, since there are fewer meals and spaced further apart. Keep a food log: see what meals 1. Make you feel good and 2. Make you feel satiated and 3. Promote weight loss for you. Might be that, like Barnaby, you really need steak. Or it might be that you need a plate of sushi!

Afraid you're picking up on the wrong buzzwords, like "complex carbs". Any kind of carbs are an enemy of weightloss.
Don't believe the demonization of saturated animal fats, including butter and lard, either. "Low-Fat" is finally getting it's well-deserved come-uppance. Quit buying into the Gov./Media brainwashing against animal fats and their pushing of grains, complex or not.
You, yourself, are demonizing he word "Diet" as a bad word for deprivation.
Your fasting is a good form of deprivation.
Suggestions to change your "Diet" (way of eating) along with the fasting are to eat animal protein MEAT and saturated animal fat, for hunger satisfaction, and reducing sugars and starchy carbs to a minimum.
Studying Gary Taube's "Good Calories, Bad Calories" and watching some of his YouTube lectures along with "FatHead" documentary, will be helpful in educating you about WOE, when not in the fasting stage.
Barry Groves discusses this relationship with fat more:

Carbs should be your primary enemy. Satisfy your hunger with meat and animal fats. Quit believing he B.S. that has been a constant Media brainwashing for 3 decades. What Grandma ate, was the right thing...meat, fats like butter and lard, and few starches.
Getting off of Grains brings many health benefits. Not only because of lower carbs, but it opens up the breathing passages for many. I couldn't blieve how much clearer my breathing became after I quit eating any bread (even if it was a "good" Multi-EIGHT-Grain bread.
Double-Team your thinning regimen as many do with both Fasting and Way of Eating.
