>people tend to lose muscle mass on it
Bullshit. Keto is great for retaining muscle mass. You are far more likely to lose muscle on a low fat diet. Many ketoers even recomp with only modest lifting, and I'm not talking about land whales.
Most of the gripes that people have with keto are only relevant during the adaptation phase. So many people start keto, see their lifts go down a little and freak out. If you stick with it, the fat adaptation is amazing. I have a shitload of weight to lose, but I've been doing If for the last six months and keto for the last five months, and I have lost 35 pounds. I started at 410 and am down to 375. I tell you what though, once I got fat adapted my stamina went crazy. When I was last 375 back in college I never had energy like this. I put 33 pounds in a backpack and go ruck marching. I'm a fucking marching machine now. I do that shit fasted and only take water and electrolytes with me. I march about 3mph, which I think is pretty good for a landwhale. My goal is 12 miles at 4mph.
