Can you lose weight on a high carb diet?

I think I have posted about this before but can't find it.  I am proposing a diet similar to the following:

1. Intermittent fasting.  No eating before noon, no eating after 9.  So an 8 hour eating windows.  This is basically 16/8 intermittent fasting.
2. High starch.  The bulk of the calories will come from either potatoes or rice. Or beans.
3. Veggies of course are allowed, with an emphasis on cabbage, but just because I like cabbage.
4. No animal products. No meat, cheese, butter, or oil.  Well they aren't totally banned, but just in limited quantities for flavor or salad dressing or a topping on a salad or potato.
5. No wheat or corn.  No bread or tortillas.  A limited amount of pasta is allowed.
6. French fries are allowed, as are potato salad and baked potato with toppings.
7. Junk food is allowed in limited quantities.  (Twinkies, ice cream).  Fruit is also allowed in limited quantities.
8.  Absolutely no high fructose corn syrup.  Sugar is much to be preferred.

Ok, this sounds crazy but here is the logic:
1.  Fasting is where the weight loss occurs.
2. Meat and cheese actually make you hungrier and they also make you constipated.  Protein isn't actually needed unless you are a body builder or trying to gain weight.  Protein also has an effect on insulin, not as much as carbs, but it is still there.  But the main reason for going low protein is because something has to give if you are eating high carb and medium fat.
3. Carbs have more fiber than protein, obviously.
4. Carbs cause weight gain but only if you are on a low-carb diet and then eat carbs again.  If you lose weight on a high-carb diet, then you won't have this problem.  You don't have to worry about a cheat meal because you can cheat every day.
5. Carbs are more satisfying.
6.  This is still better than the standard american diet because there is no hamburgers or pizza or burritos.  This is kind of a vegetarian diet, although not strict.

Anyways that is what I am thinking about at the moment.

Update: I think one meal a day after 4PM is preferable.  With a 1 hour eating window this is a 23:1 plan.
