Do people get super lean on LC?

I mean "see you abs bathing suit model" type of lean.
I've lost 105 pounds on LC but have plateaued for 6 months. I've been researching morbidly obese to super lean and while it looks possible I haven't found anybody who has done it LC.
While LC looks to be the lay to go for large weightloss to healthy body weight, can it take you to the next level? The few super lean people I've found doing it weren't super heavy to begin with so I don't really look to them as proof.

This is a better place to ask that: http://www.reddit.com/r/ketogains I think it involves swinging kettlebells

Low carb is also very frequently used to get competition ready for body builders, and that means getting very, very lean.0

What is lean? When you lose weight you might become thin, thinner, skinnier, i don't believe you will automatically become lean. To me, being lean involves having a muscle definition on your body that takes some good strength workout to make your body looking lean. My sister is skinny but she is not lean.0

The first time I did LC, I am 5'6" and I ended up at 138 lbs, don't remember my BF%, but I do remember that I wore a US size 2/4.
I was tiny. People were "concerned". I was all "nope" still right in the weight range for my age/height. go away now.
Only exercise I did was pilates 3x a week and I raced big sailboats 1 night a week and did weekend regattas0 -

Yep, that. There's a lot more to "lean" than just low body fat. Low body fat on noodle muscles will always look like flab.0 -
You've lost a lot of weight. That means two things: your metabolic rate is lower, and your empty fat cells are screaming "fill me back up!"
LC will still help with your hunger control, but it's not going to help much with weight loss at this point.
Fasting + exercise might help.0
