how long to get into keto?

[magsman]

My question is simple....How long does it take to get your body into keto? I am eating less than 30gms of carbs/day right now. Also if you fall off the wagon for a day or two how long does it take to get back? Thanks for your help.

It usually takes 2,5 days but you can use glucose disposal agents and reduce the duration needed.(ALA,chromium,cinnamon)

It also deepends on whether you perform any heavy anaerobic exercises as well because it forces you becoming faster glycogen depleted,thus entering to the state of ketosis faster.(weightlifting-high intensity cardio do the trick)

I highly recommend you lowering your carb intake to no more than 20g. per day.

As for your last question,well,be more specific.If you consume a ton of carbs,it's gonna take you a lot of time (2-3 days) to re-establish ketosis.A small overdose won't interrupt ketosis but only for some hours.

2 days to get into keto if you do it right

to get there really quick (w/o drugs) just eat 10-20 grams refined sugar before workout and do tons of heavy squats/leg presses and then do some supersets for hams/quads and then do some cardio for 25 minutes minimum and only eat fat and maybe a little protein and use some vanadyl. it sucks but ive hit ketosis in one day doing this (i tested with ketostix).

"Sunday evening i was already showing signs of Ketones."

What are the signs of ketones?? How do you know when your body has reached it?

ketone strips. u can get them at your local pharmacy. just pee on the strip and wait 15 seconds. if the strip turns a dark color then it is a sign that your body has reached a keto state.

EF has good Keto diet info

I thin it's in the EF report section. they have a really good lay out of Keto Diet. I use both a Glucometer and Ketosticks. The Glucometer gives you a more accurate reading and immediate feed back if you can afford it. I bought a fairly good one for only 50 bucks.

Yes, but remember, once the keto sticks turn color, you have already been in ketosis for a little while. The ketostix only turn color once you produce excess ketones that are urinated out.
