It can take 24-48 hours to get into ketosis really well for me.. but then there have been times.. like this particular time.. that I have tried to push the envelope with eating the tastey low carb foods and get into ketosis and found that i am not doing so good. I have in times past... just told myself.. it will only take.. one day out of my life.. to get going.. checking ketone levels for me was a hobby once in.. drinking water.. eating protein.. salads.. and testing testing testing. as long as I saw that strip pink.. I was happy.. and felt at ease. I could keep going knowing that the cravings will go away as long as I see pink.. (for me) and that I am metabolizing my thighs.. I am using what I have stored to get through the day. That was motivation to keep going.. and not to cheat.. I have and I am not sure if its recommended or not by members of this forum.. gone to carbohydrate zero for one day.. meaning noooooooo carbs at all.. only protein .. for one day.. tons of water tons and tons of it.. and once in ketosis.. added carbs. I came in fast.. and stayed. I am doing that as of today since I have spent the week working on doing it with carbs included in my diet and found today that I am 1. not losing.. and 2. not in ketosis.. It seems to jump start me.

Just a thought...
