I eat nothing but high fat steak and eggs for the majority of my diet with carb load days while bulking. Got me to 205 pounds 9% body fat - lifting is included obviously, but I attribute my physique to my diet which is pretty much cyclical keto. I'm in the best shape of my life, and my diet is 60% fat, my carb intake is only used to refuel my glycogen reserves and insulin sensitivity. Been eating like this for a year now and have no intentions of turning back. Just my experience.
I combined keto with intermittent fasting, I had an 8 hour feeding window. I got shredded incredibly quick, but getting fat adapted the first 2 weeks did suck, ya gotta power through and not cave. I got down to about 7% body fat just to see how far I could push it, but my workouts were GRUELING lol, and I had to do carb refeeds to dip that low! But keto is amazing, I use it mainly to cut before photoshoots. My diet is technically not keto since I do eat carbs, but I eat all my carbs around my workouts, so that my body is forced to use fat as an energy source when not lifting, I think I'm more of on a TKD, or targeted keto diet.
