QUESTION - What's the quickest way to get my body into ketosis?

A - The quickest way to get your body into ketosis is to drastically reduce your intake of carbohydrates and increase your intake of healthy fats. This will cause your body to shift from using glucose as its primary source of energy to using ketones, which are produced by the liver from fat. To achieve this, you should aim for a diet that is high in healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, nuts, and seeds and low in carbohydrates, such as bread, pasta, and sugary foods. Additionally, you can consider intermittent fasting, which can help speed up the process of ketosis.
