How long does it take some of you guys to get back into ketosis after a carb up?

The first few cycles it can take a day or two...it is important to eat the right kind of carbs, so as not to refill liver glycogen. By doing this I can usually get back into ketosis the afternoon after my carb-up.

What kind of carbs do you eat? What would be ideal? I ate alot of cereal w/ non-fat milk. Any guidence would be greatly appreciated, i guess i needed more help than i thought, i got the other 6 days to a science but that carb up day has me stumped.

Whole wheat bread, ww pasta, brown rice, rolled oats. Those are the best carbs. I have plenty of grape nuts with 1%.
