Are Brazil and walnuts OK to eat

Yes.

Brazil nuts and Walnuts are both around 3g Carbohydrate/100g so are low carbohydrate.
I eat a lot of them!

Apparently nuts make may gout worse for some people?

For low carb I tend to have almonds and coconut flour/milk, and limited amounts of other nuts such as cashews, pecan, macadamia and peanuts- all included in my carb count.

Macadamias are very good.

Walnuts are good. I seem to be able to tolerate peanuts ok....which are my favorite.

I personally love hazelnuts - but I guess it depends what you are using the nuts for! Roasted hazelnuts are delicious when making keto friendly brownies for example

I also understand brazil nuts are great sources of selenium? Great for the liver!

Watch out for peanuts, as they are not a nut but a legume, like peas and beans, and some people react to them more than the carbs might indicate (that would be me) and the carbs are rather higher than the lowest of the nuts.
I buy walnuts brazils and almonds in bulk from Grapetree.com and hazelnuts when I can get them. I have a sensitive sense of taste and appreciate the freshness of their stock.

Low fat isn't a good idea as it tends to be higher in carbs.
You might need to check how many gm of carbs it all adds up to as it is easy to get over enthusiastic when adding several things. Blueberries can be higher in carbs than other berries - it depends on the variety but some exceed the 10 percent limit I set for myself.

Brazil nuts are great, and very nutritious. They are rich in Selenium.
However, don’t have more than a few a day, since too many can cause Selenium toxicity.
