How to Achieve Ketosis in 24 Hours

Different platforms share different tips on how to achieve ketosis in 24 hours and speed up the fat burning process in the body. Below are 5 ways to get into ketosis within 24 hours.





1.Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting has become popular among many health enthusiasts for its benefits in promoting weight loss, improving the hormonal balance, lowering bad cholesterol and countering insulin resistance and high sugar levels. It involves prolonging time taken between the last meal of a given day and the next meal which forces your body to enter into the fat burning phase.



While some people prefer to skip breakfast or take it towards the midmorning or early afternoon, other people opt to end their eating window early on in the day. For instance, you may have lunch as you last meal or have dinner before 6 p.m.
To get into ketosis faster, aim for at least a 12 hours fasted window. You may incorporate exclusive fasts, 24–72hours to speed up ketosis.

2. Coffee/Tea/Green Tea

Caffeine found in coffee or other stimulants like tea is good for controlling your appetite. If your first choice was intermittent fasting, adding coffee in the mix will help tame your hunger pangs. If coffee is not your cup of tea, why not try the caffeine pills or keep taking tea as an alternative.
The caffeine helps you to get accustomed to the new Ketogenic meal plan. Once you attain Ketosis, reduce the amount of coffee intake. Caffeine works well with the hormone “ghrelin” by suppressing the cravings in between fasting and the next meal. The “hunger hormone” (Ghrelin) stimulates your appetite and increases food intake. The appropriate amount of caffeine makes you less prone to cravings and binge eating.

3. Reduce Workout Intensity

Manage your stress levels by reducing the levels of cortisol hormone produced when working out while on a state of Ketosis. Go back to light exercises such as slow jogging, walking, hiking and any workout that does not involve increasing the heart rate exceptionally high. When you are low on energy, try to go slow on sprints and compound lifts. Do not worry, you will resume higher intensity workouts once your body generates enough Ketones.

4. Use MCT Oil

The MCT oil is medium chain triglycerides that quickly transforms into energy and heads straight into the brain. MCT oil contain fats the same as those found in coconut oil, palm oil, and dairy products. This supplement increases the amount of fat in the body and hence the production of Ketones needed to keep you in Ketosis.

5. Get Enough Sleep

When they say sleep will automatically kick you into a fat burning machine, they need to emphasize that you should be getting at least 7 hours of good sleep. If you are consistently sleeping for less than 7 hours, even when using the best Ketogenic meal recipes your body may not be able to generate enough ketones.

How to maintain Ketosis


How to maintain Ketosis depends on your specific needs without losing focus on the Keto benefits. Once you get into Ketosis, you can either use the long-term, short-term, and cyclical ways of maintaining.
Being on the same ketogenic diet may not be an easy task because of the inconsistencies of carb intake that depends on others factors such as before and after an exercise. People who live an active lifestyle and are living the Keto lifestyle may suffer mild side effects such as low energy levels.
Constipation is a Ketosis side effect that affects people who have been on Ketosis for an extended period. You can adopt a short-term Ketosis plan to manage such effects for example by increasing a restricted amount of carbs before or after the workout session enough to fuel the body.
