No it's actually not. I did that five years and never lost the stubborn body fat.

Spending 6+ months in an 800+ caloric deficit is the cure. For me, switching to high carb, low fat during this time is the cure (still working on the last 10ish lbs).

Testosterone jumped naturally from 550ng/dL to over 1000.

Excess fat is finally starting to disappear.

My muscle growth is at ATHs.

Eating meat once a day helped me overcome my carb addiction. It taught me disciplined eating and I felt great for those years.

But it didn't solve everything.
