Answer 1

Another answer If you are doing it properly it takes about three days to get into ketosis. It's easy to determine if you are in ketosis by testing your urine with reagent strips (Ketostix). Simply adjust your individual carb intake until you are getting a reading twice daily in the "trace" or "small" range for maximum fat loss.

Answer 2

Most definitely! Just keep the carbohydrate intake to 20 or under and you should get into ketosis in as little as 3 days or less.

A benign ketogenic diet is a high fat, adequate-protein, low carbohydrate diet. It forces your body to burn fat rather then carbohydrates and that is the key. The key to losing body fat is to shift your body from burning carbohydrates to burning fats. To do that, it is necessary to cut one's intake of carbohydrates. If you cut your intake of carbohydrates sufficiently, your body will automatically shift to burning fat. Obviously, you want it to burn stored fat.

Most overweight people (and many normal weight people) are carbohydrate addicted. In fact, about 3 out of 4 North American and British adults are carbohydrate addicted. Unfortunately, the average dietary daily intake of carbohydrates for Brits and Americans is about 300 grams. Sadly, most of those carbohydrates are refined processed carbohydrates. As long as your physician approves it first, this is a good diet of you have great difficulty losing weight. It is also a good diet for a very overweight or obese person.
