- RobertoG 10y agoDo you have any citation about that? For some reason, I suppose I read it somewhere, I though that for ketosis you need 36 hours.
- rusabd 10y agoJust buy strips and check yourself. You might need much less time
- RobertoG 10y agosorry, what are strips?
- kenver 10y agoYou can buy ketone strips that will indicate whether you are experiencing ketosis. They react to your urine.
- RobertoG 10y agoThanks, I had no idea.
- nojvek 10y agoHoly shit, I had no idea this was a thing. This is awesome. I am totally buying this. Where can I learn the science of ketosis. So I can be more data driven regarding my health.

- veli_joza 10y agoThere are tester strips for detecting presence of ketones in urine, originally intended for type I diabetes I think.

- 11thEarlOfMar 10y agoI did a protein diet for a while and used Keto Strips to check for ketosis. I'd be in ketosis uaually 2-3 hours after noticing I was hungry, roughly 8-12 hours after the last meal.
