Your glycogen stores will last you at least a couple of days. You will not even enter ketosis through intermittent fasting unless you're fasting for a solid 48-96 hours or your carbohydrate intake is exceptionally low.

Intermittent fasting won't get you there. Periodic fasting may get you to dip into ketosis, depending on a variety of factors.
