    Burn muscle

    When will your body burn muscle for fuel when you are on a keto diet?

    I've never done keto, but I do know that the reason that you take in healthy fats along with each meal is to counter that problem so no, as long as you're eating every 2-4 hours and getting pro/fat meals then you won't burn muscle.

    ketogenic diets when done properly are very muscle sparing
