Under normal circumstances, most people will find that they will lose fat not muscle unless they are a frequent marathon runner for example.
Eliminating carbohydrates and short-term fasting are two approaches that help people lose weight.
Intermittent fasting involves fasting for short periods of time. Metabolism will stay high and the body will produce more HGH hormone which burns fat and builds muscle when short-term fasting is done correctly. You will also be consuming less calories. A lower calorie intake will lead you to lose fat. Some benefits to this approach is that it's Flexible, Saves Money, and You Don't Have To Change The Way You Eat.
Cutting Out Carbs involves cutting out carbs. More specifically, cutting out processed carbs like breads, pastas, sugars, rice and fruit juices. This technique will reduce insulin levels in the body. This prevents extra calories from being stored in fat cells. When you stop eating these processed carbs, your body will begin burning fat for energy instead. You'll find that your weight will begin to drop quickly as your excess fat stores are being depleted.
Many people worry, however, that if they use this method of weight loss, they'll begin to lose muscle also. Let me assure you that this will not happen and here is why.
Your muscles can use two macro nutrients as energy, Glycogen converted from carbohydrates and Ketones converted from fats.

Resistance Training Prevents Muscle Loss
Weight lifting and other resistance exercises require energy for short periods of time. HIIT exercises or short range sprints work similarly. The body can fuel these activities using the energy from fat, which help you lose fat not muscle.
Those involved in prolonged endurance exercises need to fuel differently. The body will require glycogen from carbohydrates when participating in extensive training and exercising such as long distance running.
Fruits and vegetables provide plenty of carbohydrates without having to consume processed foods. These sources will still provide sufficient glycogen for your bodily functions.
Eliminating carbs from the diet requires that you consume more fats as they will become your primary means of producing energy. For those individuals who make processed carbohydrates a major part of their diets, fat consumption should be limited so as not to store too much fat.
Both methods of losing fat will not make you lose muscle. Remember to be consistent with your dietary changes whether fasting sporadically or eliminating carbs and engage in exercises such as HIIT or resistance training and you'll notice an increase in fat loss but not muscle loss.
