Keto and weightlifting

Troubleshooting

started at **112 kg (247 lbs)** and after **24 days** of strict keto and progressive overload training, I’m down to **104 kg (229 lbs)**.
The weight loss has been going well, but I’m starting to struggle with the diet. At this point, I’m honestly sick of eating meat and eggs. Even the smell of meat makes me lose my appetite, and just thinking about another meal is enough to make me not want to eat.
My question is: **What happens if I just don’t eat because I have no appetite?**
Since I’m lifting 4 days a week with progressive overload, will undereating cause me to lose a significant amount of muscle, or will my body primarily use stored body fat for energy because I’m still carrying a fair amount of body fat?
Has anyone else experienced this on keto? If so, how did you deal with food aversion while still getting enough protein?
