Not sure if there's a topic for this already. If so please ignore this!

I just recently started on the keto diet. I'm on about day 4 and I'm just wondering approx how long it takes to actually get into ketosis?

Thanks!

    there are a few specific groups here dedicated Keto and Low Carb, Adkin's topics..join those as the main boards are not going to be as helpful since every kind of diet is being discussed.

    It varies, some people take up to 4 weeks or even longer to get fully adapted to using a different fuel mix. Others see symptoms in the first 3 days.

    As mentioned 3-4 days if you are doing it the right way.

    There is a wonderful Keto group here if you search for it. They're super helpful :)

    Adding things doesn't equal ketosis; only subtracting carbs does that.

    If I understand your question right then it is 6-8 hours after eating if you're following an IF protocol.

    OP, it can vary widely from person to person depending on things like how active you are, the level of carbs / protein / fat you are consuming, etc. I suggest you re-post your question on the main low carber forum group here in MFP. It's where most of us Ketofiles hang out:
