That's what I've been doing for the past 6 months, and it is really
amazing to see what happens: I'm down to 56 kg (super lean) from my initial 61 before cutting out simple and starchy carbs 5 years ago, I have probably at least 1 kg more of muscle, my
strength has doubled in the sense that I used to bench press 20 kg each hand, and now I use 40 kg, I used to shoulder press with 15 kg each hand and now I use 30 kg, I used to seated upright row 30 kg and now I use 60 kg, and I use to
leg press 100 kg, now I use 200 kg.
