It wouldn’t surprise me if you found that the weeks in which you lost the most pounds were the weeks where most days were relatively low carb (under 100g).
Carbohydrates when digested enter the bloodstream as glucose, which triggers the production of insulin. Insulin of course shoves nutrients from the blood stream into cells. This is not only a vital bodily function, but also the reason why you both gain muscle, and fat. Insulin can thus be a friend or foe.
When it comes to fat loss though, you want to keep the levels of insulin lower than the levels of another, lesser known hormone, glucacon in your blood. The only macronutrient (afaik) that stimulates the production of glucagon and insulin equally is protein. Glucagon is the hormone responsible for raising blood sugar levels, so you actually feel less hungry when glucagon is found in greater amounts than insulin in your bloodstream.
Insulin is actually one of the stimuli for a decreased secretion of glucagon, which is ironic since a low blood sugar level is a stimulus for increased glucagon production (so under ideal circumstances; read: a body which is not desensitized to insulin, like most people prone to weight gain are; the body would regulate insulin and glucagon correctly, keeping your blood sugar level all the time, and triggering glycogenolysis, and subsequently gluconeogenisis – which is the production of glucose from organic materials such as pyruvate, lactate, glycerol – and yes amino acids).
Gluconeogenesis is a catabolic function of the liver mostly, and if there isn’t a sufficient amount of other fuels available for it, will burn amino acids – muscles? But diets like the anabolic diet in my opinion prove that given enough of other fuel (fat from food intake, and body fat even) muscle tissue will not be catabolized.
Well, if you’re moving over to the anabolic diet, you’ll see for yourself pretty soon that you won’t at least put on a lot of fat if you keep off the carbs 
well, the diet is done. it was a good run. ill post weight in a month. next time i run this diet if i ever do i would like to add more meat like hamburgers and steaks for the dietary fat as the diet was designed to not really measure fat.
weight is down to 255.4 lbs. from the original 270.
