On day 2, add about 100ml of clarified butter or as we call it Ghee. Ketosis kicks in much faster, helps you stay strong without any hunger pangs as Ghee will usually act as a lubricant and cleanser for your inner organs. It is also all Fat and there is tonne of literature on benefits of ghee in Indian Vedas.

lubricant and cleanser for your organs? sounds legit.

  Nutrtional science is the most garbage natural science at this moment. Simple proof: no one knows what the best diet is, hundreds of scientists and skin-in-the-game athlethes are bickering and trying different things out but no-one still knows anything. No one knows that the best foods are for longevity and performance. Such a thing would need a full-generational study. You cannot just "I tried a diet for 1 month and X and Y happened". 1 month is nothing. At least 6 months are needed, 2 years in major changes can still be happening. Also god forbid you trust the offical food pyramid, so many of these "stupid bro science" advices can have a lot more truth to them than the "offical advices" because they were tested via skin-in-the-game.

    That closing remark of yours really hits the nail on the head, best sources are those who've lived it. Of course, the plural of anecdote is not evidence, but it's hard to argue with what works.

      Works for a given individual. Your metabolic system is so non-linear and feedback-ridden, that people have not found a way to “know” anything. Why do you think the science is crap?

  Alternatively just chug some WD40.

Don't know about the "lubricant and cleanser", but it has two relevant scientifically verifiable properties: 1. It's fat, which helps get fat soluble vitamins (if you take them while fasting) digested and metabolized. 2. Butter at least (likely ghee too, but I'm not sure) is full of butyrate, the metabolites of which are heavily involved in ketosis in humans (and is hypothesized to promote ketosis, though I don't know if that was conclusively demonstrated)
