Just posted about this in a couple other threads. I believe one's ability to stay in fat burning state depends a lot on how long your metabolism has been burning fat as its primary fuel. If it's been a few years, you'll rebound back into ketosis very quickly, if you're newly fat adapted, it might take a while. I don't veer off of my consistent ketogenic eating very often, but in the rare circumstance when I do, I'm back within 24 hours. Note that I have only one meal of carbs, those carbs that I allow are not sweet or a dessert, and I limit the variance to once or twice a year. I don't get cravings after the meal, and I'm usually back into ketosis over night and by the next morning. It takes time for one's metabolism to adapt, but the longer one stays consistently in ketosis, the easier it is to get back to it.
