    ketosis is a medical "risk".

    please consult your doctor before taking medical risk

    I would think it would vary with each individual depending upon several different factors.
    I don't believe there is one, simple answer.

    I"m thinking it's a few days??? It varies person to person, but it normally takes me a few days. Did you get the ketostix??

    I think it usually takes me about 3 days. I am out as of this morning after eating some dessert yesterday... we'll see how many days it takes this time! :(

    F ketostix..... keep your carbs at 30 grams and do an intense long pump workout..... you wanna burn all the glycogen out of your muscles as fast as possible... youll be in ketosis in a day or so


    after a few days of 30G keep carbs at under 100... prepare to feel like crap for several weeks

    It took me less than two days (I use Ketostix). I have read that it can take anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks. Good luck! :)

    Ketoacidosis is a risk.

    Ketosis is not.

    They are different.



    Two to three days is what it takes for me.

    If you're just starting your LC journey, I would say 48-72 hours. I find that if I'm in ketosis but at a birthday party and have a piece of cake etc. it'll only take 24hrs to get back to it.

    Here is a link about ketosis diets. This is my opinion, but Keto diets are risky and should be avoided, unless you are under direct supervision of a competent physician...

    Eat less calories, from the right foods... don't fight cravings and obsess about food. Also pretty simple.

    Your link is useless since this lady has no idea what she is talking about. "Instead of using carbohydrates for energy, the body will turn to its own fat stores and break them down for energy instead." What about all the calories you are still eating in the form of protein and fat? She makes it sound like you are starving yourself.

    "I’ve also had the “pleasure” of experiencing the effects of a long-term ketonic diet. It happened when I was pregnant. At week 20 of my pregnancy, I could finally keep most of my food down. To give you some perspective, I ate a full meal on September 15 and my next full meal wasn’t until Thanksgiving Day." Having extreme morning sickness for 6 weeks isn't even close as an example of a ketosis diet or any other diet plan even.

    She may be knowledgeable about pilates but her article give no information that is anywhere near credible.

    this. i did the cambridge diet and kept worrying about ketosis. i lasted 6 weeks before i realised how stupid and short sighted it was. ive lost more weight counting calories and eating food i enjoy from all food groups then the fad diets ive done
