Nothing magical about Keto.

But in keto isnt your body using fat as fuel? But then i am contradicting myself because a caloric deficit makes your body use fat as fuel. So could you like guide me through? Like is keto a more extreme version of just calorie deficit? Because in a normal calorie deficit, your body still relies on carbs but when that 500 calorie deficit is present, does your body use fat as fuel? Or muscle?

A calorie deficit does make a body use fat as fuel. People losing weight without keto simply consume fewer calories than they need, get enough nutrients to stay healthy, and experience fat-burning part of the day or week. People losing weight with keto consume fewer calories than they need, get enough nutrients to stay healthy, and experience fat-burning for larger parts of the day or week.

Losing weight causes both fat and muscle to diminish. Eating the nutrients you need and using your muscles during your weight loss time will minimize the muscle loss, but cannot eliminate it. These bodies stubbornly will operate as they operate and we don't have the say-so to make it not so.
