> most people are in ketosis before eating breakfast in the morning, because the liver's glycogen is partially depleted overnight, enough for the liver to produce significant ketones. And nothing will make you enter ketosis faster like skipping a meal or two
There are two claims here that are pretty important and contrary to my understanding and experience:
1) Liver is depleted after usual sleep
2) Fasting is the fastest way to enter ketosis
Even when practicing a very low carb diet your liver is "topped up" through gluconeogenesis while you are sleeping.
If by ketosis you mean the body is producing enough ketones to power itself than the fastest way I know of kickstarting that process is not having carbs for 6 hours then going for a run or lifting heavy weights.
You don't need to starve yourself, you just need to put your body in a scenario where the energy demands overtake the available energy in the form of blood glucose (and strain the stores in the muscle and liver).
