It usually is a dieting method that allows for maximal muscle retention, but you wouldn't want the protein intake too high or your body will not be able to get to ketosis, and being the real weight loss.

Body Opus says at least 1.5 g fat/1g pro. At 100 g protein and 150g fat, you're already around 1800kcal. I've always done CKD a little different, still with good results but ketosis does take longer the higher the protein to fat ratio is and too much protein will probably result in gluconeogenesis. All the pain of no carbs with minimal return.
