Question about Ketosis

[saylahv]

How long does it take a person to get into Ketosis? I understand there are variables distinguishing each person, but is there an average? One day? Two? Two weeks?

Thanks!

I'm really not sure but I would suspect a couple days, at the most 3 days.

actually since Dr Atkins defined it as burnig fats for fuel every humanbeing on earth is in ketosis evdry night while they sleep. You want to knw how long it takes your body to burn off your glycogen stores and that will depend on how your eating habits were before you started doing Atkins. if you were low fat low cal it will not take long. if you were hiugh carb high cal and are good at storing the stuff and do mimimal exercise the first few days it will take longer. the more energy you burn up from day one the faster you will get there.
