Yeah, there are a lot of sources out there on this subject. It generally takes 10-14 days for your body to adjust to burning fat instead of storing excess sugar. People also tend to be hangry and have bad headaches during the transition. IF can be helpful to keep your body from returning to the sugar rollercoaster. The problem is our food supply is built on cheap sugar/corn. It takes focused and deliberate effort to change. Most people have too much stress in their lives already and this is just not sustainable for them.
- brodouevencode 5y agoThe ten to fourteen days is debatable and depends on how fat adapted you are. People who frequently cycle keto/low carb/fasting become fat adapted faster than those using SAD.
- lukifer 5y agoThat comports with my experience: for anyone who’s never been in ketosis, it’s maybe 10-20 days. But once one is acclimated, it’s both shorter and easier; it takes me about 3-4 days now.
- brodouevencode 5y agoWhen I start going back into a fast (usually when cycling fasts) I can get back into ketosis within a day according to the strips. It took years to get to this point though.
