I started with intermittent fasting (16H) and I reached ketosis within a few days. I've been on lchf/atkins before, but getting there via fasting was easier and less brain-fog. Being in ketosis is such a drastic difference in energy and mental clarity that it's ridiculous.

I'm also doing the 16/8 IF schedule, but I honestly don't feel like I am able to enter ketosis. However, I do have better sleep and I would say more energy. It also helps me to limit "junk" intake.

How often and how much I eat during non-IF matters a lot.

But doing regular Huel Black sizes (2-3 Scoops) 2x/day and I'll easily be within keto, sometimes it's too little energy though so I combine it with 2 eggs (organic).

Restricting meal hours made me realise that eating junk is worse than not eating at all
