The ten to fourteen days is debatable and depends on how fat adapted you are. People who frequently cycle keto/low carb/fasting become fat adapted faster than those using SAD.

That comports with my experience: for anyone who’s never been in ketosis, it’s maybe 10-20 days. But once one is acclimated, it’s both shorter and easier; it takes me about 3-4 days now.

When I start going back into a fast (usually when cycling fasts) I can get back into ketosis within a day according to the strips. It took years to get to this point though.
