    Persistently high insulin food intake inhibits fat loss, but that goes away in the absence of food especially carbs.

    Fixed.

    So you're saying you can overeat without inhibiting fatloss? Or eat at a deficit and not lose fat?

    I didn't say either of those. I'm saying elevated insulin inhibits fat loss. Ingesting carbs inhibits fat loss acutely.

    I also said the elevated insulin goes away if you don't eat which covers your point I believe.

    Then for what reason have you only said part of the truth?

    In its totality, what I meant was that eating sugar and carbs left me at 175 with a skinny fat frame.

    Whether you lose muscle or not isn't about fat or carbs. It's about protein. And as steven said, staying around 173-75 and losing fat/gaining muscle is a recomp. It happens because you are eating at maintenance and working out. When losing if you lost excessive muscle (maybe you just didn't have much when you started), that's either due to too little protein or perhaps a too aggressive calorie deficit (which is understandable when you want to get that weight off and have a great deal to lose). But nothing you have said suggests that carbs inhibit fat loss -- you obviously lost lots of fat while eating them (as did I, and I've also recomped some while eating them).
