Can you comment on the efficacy of intermittent fasting (IF) to get into ketosis? Does fasting have to be undertaken in the order of days in order to be any effective, as opposed to 16 or 18 hours per day by way of IF.
For context, I've been following IF for a couple of years. I can definitely see myself losing my resident body fat, which is encouraging. I had tried keto diet before that - I found it very difficult to sustain, especially when you're away from home or are at work. So, part of my motivation to do IF instead of keto is, well, that I can achieve some level of ketosis via IF, and without following a strict keto diet.

- arcticbull 2y agoYou can get into ketosis on any kind of diet or eating schedule, it mostly relies on avoiding dietary carbohydrates. If you're curious you can get ketone urine sticks, ketone breath tests and even a non-FDA-approved continuous ketone monitor (SiBio). IF can help because it gives you a long period without carbs so you're naturally getting less of them in a given period, unless you then load up on like white bread. It's mostly a function of what you eat when you do eat.
