So i've been reading that a no-sugar, no-carbs diet can be helpful for fighting diseases. However, the body produces its own sugar from the foods we eat. I am trying to clear the (my) confusion on what is meant by "no-sugar, no-carb diet."
Many plants contain (even if it is in small amounts) carbohydrates, and fruit obviously contains sugar. No sugar and no carbs, to me at least, implies eating nothing--but you have to eat something.
I am mostly interested in the kind of diets that patients with Lyme disease were placed on by their doctors--if you are willing to share and still remember.

How closely you have to follow the diet in part depends upon your body. Some are very susceptible to yeast and others not so much.
When I was on abx, I had to avoid all fruit except Granny Smith apples. I did not eat pasta, rice, potatoes, sugar, sugar-free candies or cookies, fruit juices, etc.
You can eat all the vegetables and proteins that you want.
