The figure I have seen is that muscle wasting drops to less than 0.2 kg per day once the body fully enter ketosis.
Obviously, anyone considering a fast longer than a few days should do so under the supervision of a doctor who can monitor electrolyte levels etc. They can also check for the rare enzyme defect called Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, those with it are unable to fast safely.

I know this is true just anecdotally. I'm totally ripped after a 7 day fast with none of my muscle wasting away, just the fat.

Magnesium and potasium main but not only function is to regulate heart beat. Lack of them might lead to arrhythmia and other complications.
Not sure about muscle loss.
