Is it true that you should eat twice as many veggies than fruit?...Sometimes i catch myself eating nothing but sweets all day..smoothies and fruits and now I wonder. When I did my detox it was the basic rule to eat twice as many veggies than fruits.

Not sure about ratios, but veggies in general, esp. green leafy veggies, are more nutrient dense.

When it comes to green smoothies, a 60% fruit/40% greens ratio is recommended. Eventually, per Victoria Boutenko, you should try to go 40% fruit/60% greens. I’m still at 60% fruit (8 oz fruit, 5 oz greens). :)
