I'm surprised 16 hours was enough. Don't want to knock your diet, whatever works works, but when I did keto and one meal a day I was measuring my being in ketosis with the urinalysis strips. It used to make me a good 2 - 3 weeks of near zero carbs to get into ketosis and if I had a full carb meal like pasta or pizza it would take me as long as 2-3 days to dip back into ketosis. That said, I wasn't working out as much as I could have been so that could make the difference. #broscience

> It used to make me a good 2 - 3 weeks of near zero carbs to get into ketosis AFAIK this is virtually impossible if done as required by keto (the carbohydrate limit is quite tight, it is violated very quickly without objective bookkeeping) and you also control protein intake. The liver's glycogen store lasts about a day, after which you need to burn fat (maybe some muscle glycogen).
