Back in my Atkins days, many many moons ago, it always took me three full days to get into Ketosis. I'm not sure what the difference is now. Since I do far more training than I did back then, it's either related to my higher metabolism or to the actual workouts I did in the last few days. Here's a summary of what I consumed and how much I worked out in the days leading up:
