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.

Isn't 0.2 kg per day is a huge amount of muscle?? Thats half a pound a day!
