7 Tips to Get Into Ketosis FAST (Under 24 Hours)
Several steps you can use to get into ketosis quickly, much faster than you would just by changing the way you're eating. Why get into ketosis? Ketones have a bunch of health benefits, and having higher ketones is a big advantage when it comes to fasting.

About this video
Ben Tanner PA-C shares 7 tips you can use to get into ketosis as fast as possible. This includes time-restricted eating (also known as intermittent fasting), which allows more time for you to use up the sugar stored in your liver. The timing of exercise is also important, especially after eating sugar or starch. Building muscles is helpful because it gives you a "warehouse" to store extra sugar and starch (as glycogen, chains of glucose). Fatty meat is a great food option because the fat helps boost ketones, while you're still getting solid protein intake for muscle maintenance. MCT oil and coconut oil can boost ketones somewhat directly. Eating real, whole food (and avoiding junk food) makes it pretty hard to overdo the carbs. And if you want a cheat code for getting into ketosis fast, you can use an exogenous ketone supplement (such as the one I linked to above), although ketone supplements may not give you all the same health benefits as natural ketosis. If you apply all of these tips, there's a good chance you can get into ketosis within 24 hours or less.

Fast 2 days. That will get you there fast.

That's true. 😅 Though it might be faster using some of the other methods in parallel.
The liver produces glucose whether you are in ketosis or not, ie Gluco-neogenesi. The minimal amount it produces ( less than a tsp) is enough for a body to run on without adding any exogenous glucose. Dr. Sten Ekberg [not Eric Berg] is excellent at explaining this😊

Easiest thing to do is stay away from carbs altogether. Carnivore diet. No dairy, no sugar, no alcohol, no UPF, no refined carbs, no fruits, no veggies. Takes the mental gymnastics and guess work out of eating.

Eat a small piece of meat every 5-15 minutes on top of exercising and you'll get in ketosis faster, I also like to add a small piece of very fresh raw collards between the pieces of meat. I oscillate between high carb in the morning and ketosis at night every day.

I am eating at 20;00 and then again the next day at 12. That's 16 hours without food. I am only eating meat and eggs. I have 1g of carbs per day. And still I am not into ketosis. 2 weeks in. I have lost 1kg but I didn't had any of the "keto flu" stuff.

I think it’s just too much protein intake for why Keto’s hasn’t happened yet, it’s more about healthy fats and lowering carbs to under 50g (preferably 20g a day) to get into ketosis than protein Godbless ♥️

I recommend fasted walking in the morning if you have time 🤐. Then you eat between 11-2pm. One big meal! 8pm is not a good time to eat!! Much too late. The body is much more insulin sensitive in the morning. never eat past 4pm! I even lost weight while eating hig fat dairy. But I had to switch things up at some point. REAL fatloss happens at 36hs + fasting ! Good sleep also is essential !!!

16:8 is often not a short enough eating window to get into ketosis, especially for someone who is very insulin resistant. Try going down to a 20-hour eating window or eating OMAD. (One meal a day) 2-3 times a week. Once you’ve don’t that, you can eat one day, fast the next. Also, when you do eat meat, make sure it’s fatty meat.

Lots of variables! As some of the other comments alluded to. Also depends on how you're measuring, the blood test is the most sensitive (but not always necessary). Urine strips may not pick up low levels of ketones, sometimes. And, it's not always the end of the world if you don't get into ketosis quickly. Could still be making some useful progress. *General disclaimer: nothing I share online should be considered individual medical advice.
ChatGPT? Is this correct? Does fasting ketosis sets quicker in, when body fat is lower? Yes, generally speaking, reaching a state of ketosis during fasting can occur more quickly when body fat is lower. This is because individuals with lower body fat stores have less stored glycogen (carbohydrate) to deplete before the body switches to ketosis. During a fast or very low-carbohydrate intake, the body relies on stored glycogen as its primary fuel source. Once glycogen stores are depleted, usually within the first 24-48 hours of fasting, the body begins breaking down stored fat for energy. As fat is broken down, ketones are produced, and the body transitions into a state of ketosis. When body fat is lower, the glycogen stores are depleted relatively faster, leading to the earlier onset of ketosis. Conversely, individuals with higher body fat levels may take longer to deplete their glycogen stores and enter ketosis. However, it's important to note that the rate of ketosis onset can still vary among individuals, even with similar body fat levels. Factors such as activity level, metabolic rate, and individual physiological differences can influence the timing of ketosis. It's also worth mentioning that reaching ketosis is not the sole determinant of successful weight loss. A sustainable and balanced approach to nutrition and overall calorie balance remains essential for achieving weight loss goals, regardless of the specific metabolic state.

I have not heard that previously, and it does not make intuitive sense to me. I would tend to think the opposite, that ketosis would ramp up more quickly in someone with more body fat. As I understand it, the amount of glycogen you store is not dependent on your body fat, but rather on your muscle mass. You don't store glycogen in your body fat. This may be a case of chat GPT making things up (which it's been known to do), or it there could be a reason for it that I'm not currently aware of. :)
I found doing it naturally causes less symptoms and im an afib patient so it was worse with substance assistance then natural. Havent had an episode and im on week 2 i got in to keto within 48hrs because i ran my ass off

Is there a continuous glucose monitor you recommend to see when your in ketosis and when a particular food has kicked you out?
@FastingWell
Жыл бұрын
You could monitor your glucose, or your ketones, or both. If your main goal is to get into ketosis (and see if you stay in ketosis), probably monitoring the ketones makes the most sense. Personally, I just use urine test strips most of the time--they're cheap and easy, and give kind of a yes/no answer (with some limitations). Here's one I've purchased on Amazon: amzn.to/442n7yi I've also tried some breath ketone meters. Here are 2 I've purchased on Amazon: amzn.to/43MhvIZ (cheaper but out of stock currently) amzn.to/3CE7ZeM (A little more pricey) As for the CGM's, I haven't tried any of them out personally, but I've heard good things about Levels (probably pricey), and I think the one Ron Sinha uses is a Freestyle Libre (probably less expensive).

Hi Ben, am from India Is it fine to have Sauna during fasting
@FastingWell
Жыл бұрын
Hi! It can be okay, depending on how long your fast is, and other variables. But you have to be especially careful not to overdo sauna during a fast, and make sure you replace salt and other electrolytes. I've used the sauna while fasting, and I find my tolerance is a little bit lower than when I'm not fasting. * I don't share any individual medical advice on the internet. If you have any concerns, talk to your own medical providers.

How many carbs per day
@FastingWell
Жыл бұрын
It's a sliding scale depending on your activity level, muscle mass, etc. As I explained in the video, sometimes I can eat starchy foods and still get into ketosis super fast (or stay in it), because of how I time my exercise, doing intermittent fasting, and so on. In that scenario, I'm often eating between 50 and 100 grams per day, but that may not work for everyone--it depends on all those variables.
I feel great on two/three days fasts but have to convince myself nevertheless.
