Getting into Ketosis

[iced earth]

I have 2 questions. 1. How long into a Keto Diet (CKD) do you start to notice the fat melting off? 2. From day one of a CKD diet, when do people get into Ketosis ( Average )? Thanks in advance.

You probaly notice weight loss within the first three days but most will be water retention.Your body will go into Ketosis within the third day of cutting all CARBS.Do a good search and read lots before you start.

From what most people say, the normal time to get into ketosis is right at 48 hours. It's dependent on a lot of things, though, so everyone is different.. Remember that your body is initially resisting the switch, and will use everything it can to avoid it. If you don't eat a high enough % of your calories from fat for instance, your body will just convert the protein you eat into glucose and keep going. Your body is going to dump the liver's glycogen stores and use them first too. The idea is to get into ketosis by forcing your body to use ketones (from dietary fat) for fuel, and then force it to burn your fat. Some people are slower in.. It takes me 3 or 4 days to get in sometimes if I don't use insulin.

Thanks for the response guy's. What's insulin?

 

[Onenameleft]

Insulin is a 'polypeptide hormone secreted by the islets of Langerhans and functioning in the regulation of the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, especially the conversion of glucose to glycogen, which lowers the blood glucose level. ' Basically, it's made by part of the pancreas and is your body's way of dealing with glucose. As your blood sugar goes up, insulin is created, and works to allow your body to use up the glucose for energy, or store the left over as fat. It also takes part in shuttling nutrients to the muscles for repair. You can get a lot more detailed answers if you want, but for the purposes of my post earlier, it helps get your blood sugar down so you get into ketosis faster. Some people will take extragenous insulin to force the body to use up it's blood glucose faster, forcing them into ketosis faster than if you waited for the body to secrete the necessary insulin itself. Hope this helps.

You didn't know what insulin was when you posted this, so please don't attempt to use it. Learn everything you can about it before starting it.

What do U mean "don't attempt it" HumanShell? The CKD diet?

Iced Earth,

I am sure humanshell meant you should NOT use insulin. It is a very dangerous and controversial way of getting into Ketosis faster, and many people I know have gone into Hypoglycemic comas because of misuse, 2 of them have permanent brain damage. Read up on it and educate yourself before even thinking of use.
PM me, if you have any insulin questions.
