Does anyone have any understanding of what’s so different between regular Ketosis and heavy Ketosis? I have tried researching online and I’m not finding out much. I’ve been trying to OMAD or keep a short eating window each day. But...

I few summers ago, I did 18:6 and that seemed to work really well. Would that be the best ratio?
all carbs in the body are already gone and the insulin starting value is also much lower
This time around I'm thinking about fully entering ketosis **prior** to beginning my fast. I'm thinking this will make the first few days of the fast less difficult and will lessen any muscle loss. Thoughts? Experiences?
The Fastic app says fat burning happens from 11-14 hours after your last meal, and then ketosis kicks in from 14-16 hours after. Does the fat burning stop during ketosis? I’m just a little confused about what exactly is happening....
I noticed the kosher pickles in my fridge say zero calories and I wondered if eating a pickles on a fast to get some cellulose to my gut bacteria would effect the ketosis state? I typically take active charcoal...
Can a 16-24+ hour fast still induce ketosis? Or is it a must to reduce carb intake?
This is only my first day completed of a water fast and I’m already in ketosis. I’m pretty sure because my energy is fine and my tongue is already coated and tastes like metal. Is it because I’ve fasted before...
I’m sure it depends on the individual. I’m 28 hours deep and am planning to go 96 hours. I like using fasting as a launchpad to activate ketosis while getting other benefits like autophagy. For those thatve tested themselves with...
My assumption is a little bit of both but from what I read it may just be a way to stay in ketosis
I am alright going days without food but a cup of black tea + milk + brown sugar has been a part of my daily routine for a long time. Is it possible for me to have one cup of...
I’ve been fasting for 24 hours now. At the beginning of the fast (just finished eating) my stats were Ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Glucose: 6.2 mmol/L After 24 hours I tested and my stats were Ketones: 0.2 mmol/L Glucose: 5.6 mmol/L While the Life app states that...
I was trying desperately to hit 72hrs but now I’m here and don’t feel hungry at all. It’s weird after the third day things really do change. I’m gonna shoot for 5 days in total. Wish me luck!

This is a few years back, wanted to see what happened. Had to take the GF out for a nice dinner, so I had some steak, fish and booze. Ketosis held strong. https://preview.redd.it/w3putjlu4x971.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=079b45d536d9eb276fb23749ba118693623b215f

I have been wobbling lately. It started with some Rebel Ice Cream and Breyer's Carb Smart Bars. I had also been occassionally eating some Lily's Chocolate. I've been staying within my macros. About 1400 calories per day. Protein at...
Just was curious if y’all stick to a low carb diet or eat carbs between fasts.
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...
I had a urinalysis done today as part of a job physical, and the doctor asked if I had eaten breakfast this morning because I was still in ketosis and “losing weight as we speak.” I drank one cup of...

Intermittent fasting 16/8 paired with a slow carb style eating regimen. Usually max out at 150 grams or carbs per day (lentils, veggies, etc). I took my blood ketone readings and was shocked it said 0.5 when I regularly eat...
Hi, I'm on a 20/4 routine and my eating window closes at 9pm. Theoricaly ketosis starts 12 hours later, at 9am. But I went for a running session of 10km (6 miles) at 7am. Can this running session consume the energy in my liver...
In this video https://youtu.be/T7o_hF1XB84 doctor Jason Fung mentions that ketosis begins after 2 days but many place I read it starts after 12-14 hours. What's the correct answer?

I just read an article explaining the stages of fasting. It said after 14-16 hours you enter ketosis, but then recommended to end the fast around 16 hours if you’re new to it. I feel like the good stuff is just...

The obesity code has done more for me than Keto. Not only in weight loss but in healing my insulin resistance.
In your experience, what fast length do you start to get positive results from the keto test strips? I've read that 16-18 hours should start going into ketosis but started testing after 18 hours and it's not registering anything.
Hello everyone, I have been doing IF (16-18) for three years or so now. Recently switched to OMAD and seem to have adjusted readily, but I have a dry mouth? Is this typical and if so, any way to help avoid...

Is it necessary to brush teeth everyday
I am doing a 20:4 fast and exercising once per day. I was wondering if I could burn more fat if I exercise before I eat (when I am in ketosis) versus after eating. Does it make any difference?
Apologies if this has been asked already but is drinking a protein shake ( with water) breaking your fast. I’ve read from some people that this isn’t the case but wondered what the consensus is.
I am randomly smelling ammonia. I read that it could be impaired kidney function, liver damage, or eating too much protein. I took the vinegar/baking soda shot, but I wonder if anyone else has experienced this and what you did...
Will this kick me out of ketosis? I drink around 2 cups a day?
HAs anyone experiences taking ULTIMA electrolytes while on extended fasts( 36-48..) And not getting into ketosis?? My urine KetoTone strips are still in the barely there color.. I’m 30 hours in with just drinking ULTIMA electrolytes
Does anyone use a keto testing kit? Would you make a recommendation? IF turns the body into keto mode. But I never know when. Some say between 12 to 36 hours. Testing to know for sure would be nice.
Been dealing with bo and especially bb for a couple years now and I can’t find the root cause. It’s not oral or surface level. Seems to be coming from the gut. I’m thinking dry fasting will help as it...
I’m getting a rather comprehensive blood panel done sometime in the next two week, and I’m curious if anyone is aware of anything that would significantly skew blood work results during an extended fast of 3+ days? Thanks!
I know it takes anywhere from 4 days to 1 week to get your body into ketosis. After you are in ketosis, if you have a cheat meal like a donut or ice cream, will it completely take you...
Last Tuesday after a very very stressful day I decided to eat 2 pounds of icecream after being 30+ days in ketosis. Since then I was only eating fat, the usual sausages, avocado, olives, but I can’t get back into...
Relatively new faster here. Does the fasting high/euphoria coincide with entering ketosis? Are they related? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Hey all, I am 27M/120KG/182cm and I have been looking into IF and what dieet to eat while doing this. I try to limit to eating twice a day and try and focus on more protein diets, however while tracking...
Half a year ago I bought a pack of 125 keto tests. The pack says to use them within 30 days. Now I'm 60 hours into a dry fast, and the strips show no color at all. Is it me or is...
Best time of the day to start a 3 day fast?

I am aware of the specific kind of bad breathe you get when your body is in ketosis ( I usually get it 14 hours into fasting) and currently following a 18:6 plan). I was wondering if the breathe will...
