Your brain uses carbs. Don't starve your brain.
Gluconeogenesis, ketogenesis, etc...
If you abstain from carbs you'll also become more insulin sensitive and your glucose metabolism will be improved through other mechanisms as well. You'll release a more appropriate amount of insulin in response to meals instead of an overabundance, which is often the case. Bodybuilders think they're some magical exception and that they need to eat all day long to stoke these magically, metabolic infernos. When in fact, they're just like any other human and will become glucose intolerant and will have impaired metabolisms.
Just cutting carbs and spacing out your meals improves insulin sensitivity and body composition. Get a blood glucose monitor and try it out for yourself. Snip out your breakfast, another stupid mythical dietary piece of shit, and watch your sensitivity improve in a week's time unless you're already strictly dieting. Reduce calories and actually clean up your diet too, then you'll lose even more fat. You're just shifting things around and still eating pretty similar, but small changes like this can make an appreciate impact over the course of time.
Now, cut carbs or lower them drastically, eat just a couple of times a day (I personally like IF and just one or two meals a day) and you'll see an even stronger propensity to burn fat and hold a much better composition. Toss in a bit of cardio in a fasted state and you'll be shredded in no time. And there's no need to worry about muscle loss too. You'll flatten out, but that's not muscle loss. That's low glycogen stores and water retention in skeletal muscle. That's nothing - Carb up and drink a bottle of water, you're fine in a few hours. No one is going to "lose lots of muscle". If our bodies were that fragile, we wouldn't have been on this planet for hundreds of thousands of years. Do you think our ancestors woke up every 2 hours to slam a casein shake and eat a container of cottage cheese?
You'll always flatten out a bit on any sort of caloric restriction, especially if the majority of that comes from carbohydrates. But your body doesn't want to sit around with a negative nitrogen balance, wasting away and burning through it's muscle. That only happens if you're a moron. And if you're on AAS, don't even utter that kind of bullshit. You're not going to lose muscle, numb nuts. Eat a granola bar and do some bicep curls 20 minutes later and see for yourself.
Onetimehard offers some solid ass advices. bikinislut is a dude posting from a gimmick, just taking shit out of context in an effort to get a rise. I've used the abovementioned practices to stay lean and to shred down to some pretty epic leans before too when I was actually putting in some effort. All dietary fads and misconceptions aside, if you drop your carbs and space your meals out it's going to be a hell of a lot easier to lose body fat. You can complicate things and take it to another level, but no need to argue over semantics. It's easy to lose body fat by dropping carbs.
