Yes, especially if you start out at a higher bodyfat level, well above your setpoint.

You can minimise muscle loss by limiting yourself to losing 1 lb per week (more if you are especially fat) or possibly even less. By following a particularly good diet, such as UD2.0, you should be able to lose fat exclusively.

Glutamine is expensive, though.

Glutamine is rarely worthwhile, particularly for the money, unless you are recovering from some kind of trauma.
