For some individuals, ketosis can be reached in as little as 12 hours of fasting, though it often takes longer. This metabolic state occurs when your body, deprived of its usual glucose from carbohydrates, switches to burning stored fat for fuel, producing ketones.

Over 45% of our daily calories should come from carbohydrates, revealing their fundamental role as an energy source for the body. The question, "what does the body burn first?", is a common one for those interested in health, fitness, and nutrition. The answer is not always a simple case of 'one-size-fits-all', but rather depends on factors like exercise intensity, duration, and the body's energy stores.
