Lowering fat intake while in Ketosis

[Gunsmith]

I've been reading up on all kind of differant diets and how they work and got to thinking that if the ketosis diet makes the body use fats for energy and you consume less that it needs to run then it startes to feed from it fat stores.
The question I have is , if you get your body into a strong ketosis state by by using a high level of fat and no carbs , what would happen if you slown backed the fat intake off and raised the protine , say from 150g a day of fat and 250g Protien a day , to say 75-50g a day of fat and 300gr protien a day , woulden't this make the body use more of its stored fat as energy or would the body start to use the added protien for energy evenutualy converting back to burning glucose its making from scavanging the protien?

It just seemd to make sense to me that if you reduced the fuel it take to run the machine it has to get that extra from somplace and if the body has some to spare then it should use that before converting back and starting glycogensesis and useing the protine??

Anybody ever try it of run a keto diet with lower fat intake , I know that Dave Palumbo's diet plan uses for protien and less fat that the typical keto diet and is said to have good results.

IMO, lowered dietary fat would cause the body to burn stored fat. It's a simpler process than gluconeogenesis. The body is all about efficiency.

Exactly

Nothing else to be said.

yes I've run a PSMF style diet with only protein from a low fat source for 14 days straight lost a whole load of fat water and muscle!!!! Little to no carbs at all probably less than 10 grams, no refeed.

I lost approx 7 lbs of fat after I carbed back up only using eca, my guess is I lost muscle but could not say how much more became very flat very quickly. Not a fan of these extreme diets anymore, but there is no denying they work.

Thats kind of what I thought and wonder if this is how some people drop huge amounts of weight for differant things like fights and movie parts and such.
I would assume that their would be alot of muscle loss as well but guess you can't have your cake and eat it to right?

I was just wondering , I had to basicaly crash diet this past couple months from being way behind and it feels like I've lost a shit load of muscle even though I've been on some pretty high does gear to try and maintain it , now I'm just cruising at reduce cals and doing cardio trying to tighten up some softer spots and loose skin.
I wish I would have thought about this 3 months ago maybe I could have spared some muscle , oh well live and learn , next year should be ALOT easier
