I do. I can and do eat substantial quantities of meat (keeping an eye on total calories all the while) while shredding bodyfat and achieving sub 10% levels. Yet still maintaining most of my muscle gains. All the proof I need is right there in the mirror. And I'm 58 years old.
Is your waist measurement greater than 40 inches, and is your HbA 1c greater than 6.0? If not and you are not experiencing metabolic syndrome, your experience is not relevant to the problem.
