In this video, I’m going to share 6 tips to speed up the keto adaptation phase. When starting a ketogenic diet, you go through a period known as keto adaptation—the process of going from sugar fuel to fat fuel.

Before adapting to ketosis, your body is dependent upon the sugar in your muscles, liver, or diet for energy. Once you’re keto-adapted, your body runs on fat and can even run on its own fat reserve between meals.

The average person has about 77,000 calories of stored fat. Fat is a more efficient fuel and allows you to go longer periods without eating. During the transition phase before you are fully keto-adapted, you may have lowered blood sugar and may not feel your best.

Here are some tips to speed up keto adaptation:

1. Always combine keto with intermittent fasting to lower insulin. Remember, keeping your carbs too high will prolong the keto adaptation phase which typically takes around 3 to 4 days when done correctly.

2. Apple cider vinegar combined with lemon and water can help speed things up. Try drinking it with a straw so that it doesn’t bother your teeth.

3. Electrolytes and nutritional yeast supply important vitamins and minerals as you become fat-adapted.

4. Learn to differentiate between mild and intense hunger. You can push through mild hunger, but if you’re feeling very hungry, have a snack composed mainly of fat because it triggers insulin the least. An avocado or pecans are good options to help you make it until the next meal if you’re very hungry.

5. Add plenty of fat to your meals so that you’re able to comfortably go longer periods without eating.

6. Add more greens to your meals to increase your potassium intake. Potassium helps to combat insulin resistance and stabilize the blood sugar.
