Today I’m going to explain how long keto-adaptation takes. 

Ketosis is fat burning. You’ve been living on sugar your whole life, and now you’re switching your body to a completely different fuel source. Your cells have to build new machinery for fat and new enzymes to break down a completely different source of fuel. This takes time.

So, how long does it take to get into ketosis while fasting? If you’re already really healthy, it could happen in maybe one week. But, on average, it’s going to take about 4-6 weeks. 

How do you know when you’re in ketosis?

• When you’re satisfied after you eat
• When you can go long periods of time without eating and not be hungry
• You don’t have sugar cravings anymore
• You’re more focused
• You have less brain fog
• You have a sharper memory
• Less urinating at night

In the keto-adaptation period, you might experience a few symptoms. But it’s a good thing because your body is adjusting. 

Here are a few of these symptoms, and what you can do:

• Fatigue — take B5
• Cramps — take potassium 
• Bloating — take bile salts 
• Sleep issues — take calcium and magnesium
