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...

I am somewhat new to fasting. When does ketosis and autophagy really begin during a fast? Around what hour? I read 18 hours the I have seen 24 hours, and now I have read 2 days lol. Maybe this depends...

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?

Hey! I'm starting another seven day fast, and I would like to know if there's any body cues that tell you when you've hit ketosis? (I know there's devices you can get and all, but I would like to know...
I was listening to some of Coles older videos where he was coaching maya and he was saying something like staying in ketosis for too long is not natural and he would intentionally break maya out of ketosis every week....
Can a 16-24+ hour fast still induce ketosis? Or is it a must to reduce carb intake?
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...

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...

Hello, I was wondering what you guys think about the keto diet?
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'm trying to combine as many healthy routines to maximize my gains. Wondering if I can keep the benefits going I get from prolonged fasting if I only eat low carb foods once I eat? Are the benefits the same from...
Have been using keto stripes during the last days and I am not even in ketosis?? Today was the first morning I could barely see a pinkish color but I am really surprised as it has been almost 1 week...

I suppose your body will interrupt ketosis to consume the calories, but if the calories are few, ketosis should rapidly resume, no? A few nuts will not set ketosis back for 24 hours because you're not really adding to...
Hey, i feel like iv read this entire sub the last few days, but there is something i wonder because to my understanding it doesnt make sense like i want it too. Will i get in ketosis that lasts 24hours even...
So I’m not sure if anyone has/had this problem, but for some reason my body doesn’t like being in ketosis. Every time I got any length of time without carbs or start getting into ketosis my heart starts palpitating and...
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...

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...

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

This question is in relation to diet soda on fast. Some people claim that this and any sweetener can cause an insulin spike. I’ve succeed in losing 18kg with IF (OMAD) and keto diet but during my fasts I drank...
I have been doing Ketosis \(carb cycling every 1\-3 weeks..\)and intermittent fasting \(16/8 and for the past few days 22\-24 hour fast\) for the past 7 months, and will be trying a 3 day water fast over the 3 days....
Exactly what the title says - I am on day 7 of 30. Normally I *NEVER* consume something like Powerade or Gatorade, but for some reason during this fast I have been sipping a bottle that last me about three...
So, it's pretty clear that any spike in insulin, even ones from non-sugar sweeteners, kicks you out of ketosis, and thus essentially breaks your fast. My question is, does it totally reset the clock on autophagy? Say I'm 24 hours...
How long from not drinking does it take for 'metabollic water' to get produced? Is there any science on it? i.e. articles Obviously, 'everyone knows' ketosis starts after 12 hours no food. What is the equivalent...

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...
TL;DR: one day refeeding with 3000-6000 kcal with sometimes half of that coming from sugar doesn't undo the benefits of fasting for me. I did OMAD with keto 3 years ago for 3-4 months with weight training. I lost ~10 kg...
Hey there! Sorry if it's been asked already, I tried searching for it but couldn't find anything. I want to do the title : 72 hours dryfast, into carnivore for a few days to stay in ketosis and then...
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...
My assumption is a little bit of both but from what I read it may just be a way to stay in ketosis
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?
Every few posts I see on here it’s someone completing a week long fast, or a month or even longer. Or people that consistently do OMAD or rolling 72s and what not. How? I struggle so hard with just one...
Hey guys, I hope you're all doing well. my reason for writing. Just so you know, I began keto on August 20, 2022. ​ Today's date is 10/Sep/2022, roughly 30 days ago. I dropped probably at least 24 lbs., 12 kg. I...

Seeing routine-based fasts where people have one day a week where they eat nothing. Also seeing posts about people building up to absurd week-long fasts. Where are these regiments coming from? I've been on 16:8 for a month and it's...
It seems like most people here advise keto when not fasting, I'm sure that works for them. But curious if anyone doesn't restrict carbs at all? My story: I was ~slightly~ overweight by about 40lbs. Was 190/6'0.5/ in 2019 with...

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
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!
Title correction: extend *ketosis. I wanted to do a 7 day water fast, but I have a very hard time getting past the 40ish mark. I feel very sick and end up throwing up non stop even with electrolytes and...

I don't know if anyone can explain this to me or if it's simpler than I'm making it to be. If I'm fasting, after X amount of hours, I'm in ketosis. Now let's say i just drink a coffee with...

I have a basic plan and I want a second opinion on it. My plan is as follows; 5-1-1 5 days mon-fri fasting (water, black coffee, electrolytes, maybe a multivitamin if I can find the right one) 1 day clean keto (meat and veg) 1...

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.
all carbs in the body are already gone and the insulin starting value is also much lower
