Ketosis burns muscle for fuel. Ketogenic diets reliably increase the catabolic hormones cortisol and adrenaline which destroy muscle and waste dietary protein to create glucose. The way to increase muscle mass at the same time you lose fat is to lower fat intake while eating more carbs and whatever protein necessary.

I don't expect much from burgers, but checking what "ketogenic diet" actuallly is on simple.wikipedia doesn't require high IQ standards.

I still get surprised.

TL;DR "The diet forces the body to burn fats"

The only way people seem to talk about building muscle on keto is with strategic carb intake (TKD, CKD).

Your summary could benefit from more perspective. It also forces the body to turn glucogenic amino acids into glucose, and it frequently does this by burning muscle mass. An extremely low fat diet also forces the body to put excess body fat to use, because it's not going to get fat from anywhere but adipose tissue.
