how long to hit ketosis

[jaymis]

i have been following a tkd type diet for 5 weeks(about 75 carbs a day around my workouts) and i would have a cheat day once a week. I am wondering how long it would take me to reach ketosis. I started a ckd yesterday to get the last bit of fat off my stomach. thanks

It will probably take you around 48-72 hours since you just started. I think you might be able to reach Ketosis faster if you follow a really high fat ratio in the light of 80%fat/20% protein.

thanks mr. x

great, i am following these ratios and feel really good even though it is the second day. I have steady energy and no hunger. Will i hit ketosis faster because of my previous tkd than someone who has not been doing a tkd. or is it 48 to 72 hours for every one

Sounds like you might alreade be in ketosis....but again, you don't have a ketone meter so I can't tell for sure. It's 24-72 hrs for most people, all depending on how you do it.
