Your body falls in a state of ketosis if your diet mostly consists of 600 to 800 calories daily. Usually, it takes no more than a few days for your body to fall into a state of ketosis. Ketosis occurs when you consume calories that come from fat, and at the same time, your diet consists of very little carbs.
