I recall reading about an experiment where obese mice were injected with insulin regularly after being denied food. The mice starved to death despite still having fat stores. Of course, mice are not humans, but this implies that diets that stimulate a lot of insulin production (or normal amounts in insulin-resistant populations) would cause a person to not lose fat.

Sounds like a great study consistent with my experience and the prevailing view of the anti-diet.
