However, it actually takes less than a week to reach a plateau in mobilizing fat from adipose tissue to provide the fuel required to support the increased fat oxidation which also reaches a plateau within 1 week. Many previous studies have observed this rapid transition to increase fat metabolism and it was also observed in our study with the RC diet. There is no evidence that fat oxidation increases after the first several days of cutting carbohydrates. However, this does not negate the fact that longer time periods, perhaps weeks, may be required to optimize exercise performance or improve general feelings of well-being on low carbohydrate diets. This is what most people mean when they say “fat adapted”, but exercise performance and cognitive function were not important for our study results. <a href="http://www.weightymatters.ca/2015/08/guest-post-dr-kevin-hall-asks-is.html" target="_blank">http://www.weightymatters.ca/2015/08/guest-post-dr-kevin-hall-asks-is.html</a>(This  is the post I actually wanted to link to rather than the interview above, I couldn't find it earlier)</blockquote>
