Why am I not achieving ketosis?

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 should be in heavy ketosis as of now. Any theories?

Answer

It largely depends on your diet pre-fast. If you ate a standard American diet (moderate to high carb) with a significant amount of sugar and/or processed foods, or can take up to a few days to get into ketosis.

For me, i need 2 days to get into ketosis.Or 4hour, if i go a bike ride fasted, but that is a hooorible experience, would not recommend :D

When an app says that in 12h you are in ketosis i always laugh. If you eat 3000kcal meal, in 12h that food wont even leave your system…
