I would like to understand how long it takes for the body to enter into ketosis when soft dry fasting.
At this point i have been dry fasting for just over 36hrs. I understand that by this time i should have entered ketosis, but when i tested my blood this morning, my blood ketone showed up as 0.1.
This seems like a rather strange phenomenon.
I was under the assumption that under any circumstance, 24-36hrs into a dry fast you would be into ketosis.
Based on this experience i would venture a few thoughts.
What do you guys think ?
The first time you enter ketosis it can take a while. Even a few days. That time shortens the more your fast, or the lower carb you eat.
I assume you’ve been in ketosis before, though. Maybe you have a bad testing strip
This is the reason I dry fast btw, to go into a water fast and skip the hunger parts. I wouldn’t worry too much just try again next time with more walking. The more you do it the less your body resists ketosis.
