Ketosis in 24 hours??

Kriss · 02-17-2013, 10:20 PM

Is this normal??
I always thought it took about 3 days. But I felt kind of off.....like it do when i first hit Ketosis so out of curiosity I checked and sure enough.

I can't wait to weigh myself tomorrow!

I would say that it is not normal, but I hope to be so lucky! Haha!

Wow took me 6 days this time to get into Ketosis! Good for you.

Sounds like your body was willing and able to get with the program! You GO girl!

Could be normal depending on what you normally eat. Brain uses 100 carbs a day, and in general your liver stores about 300 carbs. So if you ate 0 carbs you could be looking at about 3 days. Also exercise/activity could increase the rate of carb depletion I would imagine.

I've felt like I've entered ketosis as fast as one day before, but I don't know if I truely did. It may have just been that I didn't experience a full blown induction flu on those attempts.

I think I'm in the same lucky boat, I knocked myself out of ketosis last Saturday and now I'm feeling in ketosis again (no hunger, metallic taste in my mouth etc.). Can't test it because I haven't got the strips, but I'm sure I'm back in it. It only took < 10 g carbs on Sunday and one hour of fasted cardio.

Well I know I wasn't doing Induction level carbs before I started but I was only eating fruit carbs and such....I do exercise everyday.....sometimes 2 times a day. Down a pound this morning so Im happy. Im SO READY to do this.

When I first started LC 12 or so years ago, it took me two or three days to feel like I was in ketosis. In the last couple of years, though, it has only been hours, maybe half a day. I think maybe your body gets better about it, so even if you go off, it has any easier transition when you go back on. I never get any kind of flu symptoms anymore, either. When I start I usually aim for as low as I can go on the carbs (like 7 to 10 grams) and eat all the fat I want.

I've had it kick in that fast. Have you been out of it or a good while? I think my body has adapted and thinks it is normal, so goes into it faster now.
