True like I said if you're not in ketosis you will lose muscle mass. If you're already in ketosis you will minimise you muscle loss. Keto is the only diet where you can actually lose fat and gain muscle at the same time.

I mean fasting can definitely help if your only goal is to loose weight. But if you want to put on muscle as well I wouldn't be fasting for long periods.

Fasting for 48 hours would put you into keto but you would be loosing musclemass in the process of getting there so I wouldn't recommend going that route. Intermittent fasting doesn't really put you into keto unless your also cutting out carbs.
