A few things come to mind here:
1.) If this was true, it would be impossible to ever burn fat in an isocaloric diet b/c the muscular glycogen would constantly be refilled. The body is using fat stores b/c there is a deficit. Any deficit created within a ketogenic diet would automatically pull from fat stores in the same way, except b/c of the bodies stable/low insulin level, it would utilize fat stores for the vast majority of the deficit calorie amount.
2.) Because of the keto diet there is no glucose available to the body, only muscular glycogen, which would be utilized only during anaerobic activity. Why would the body need to burn through this in order to utilize the fat stores? Why would you want to have your anaerobic weight training pull from fat any way?
Bare with me... I'm trying to learn. Thanks for the time/explanations.
