    I respectfully disagree, I think keto and IF work well together. Think about it, on keto your body breaks fat down into ketones to use as its main source of energy.
    So when in a fasted state, while in ketotis, with no food in your belly, your body has no other option but to breakdown bodyfat into ketones to use as energy. I believe this is good, I have tried this approach with good results, not leangains style IF more eat stop eat style (24 hour fasts)

    Sure it does. It can breakdown muscle tissue - and WILL do so particularly if/when training or cardio becomes too intense.

    As I said earlier, ultimately the OP needs to decide what makes sense and then put a plan in motion to see how he responds. Admittedly, i'm biased against keto diets due to my own personal history with them, but as stated, that doesn't mean they don't work as I personally know people who have had great success with them.

    OP - i'm being nice about it. Ask Marcus300 what he thinks about your idea!!!
