What is Ketosis?To put it simply, ketosis is the metabolic state where your body switches from using glucose as the main source of fuel to burning fat as fuel The definition of “low carb” varies from diet to diet but generally speaking, people need to stay very low carb (the first phrase of the Atkins Diet recommends you to stay under 20g of net carbs for two weeks) and it takes around 3-5 days for most people to use up your glycogen stores and get into ketosis (The Atkins Diet recommends that you stay in the first phrase for two weeks). Since carbs are in a lot of our favorite foods-pasta, sauces, bread… and social occasions are pretty much inevitable, it is not uncommon for people to have to get in and out of ketosis and if it takes almost a week to get into ketosis, it may be disheartening Exogenous KetonesThis is probably the quickest way (some products claim that you can go into ketosis within 15 minutes of consuming the supplements) but these supplements can also be very expensive ExerciseAll your daily activities require energy so needless to say, the more energy you use during the day, the more calories (and the more glycogen store) your body use. Increasing your activity levels is a good way to speed up the exhaustion of your glycogen store. Fat-fastingWhat is “fat fasting”?
