I'm doing keto too, not for weight loss (heck I could use some weight gain), but to reap some benefits of more stable energy, avoiding carb crashes. I bought some test strips and MCT powder, it took a week to finally reach deep ketosis (according to my test strips). I'm unexpectedly hungry a lot, but I found that coconut milk + MCT oil is very filling.

For what it's worth, since keto strips sort of measure excreted/'underutilized' ketones, you may still be becoming more fat adapted. Also, measuring ketones at night (after a day spent running on them) may be a good time to test.
