Your body is probably using for fuel all the ketones your liver is making .. so there are none left to spill in the urine for the sticks to detect. Please click on "Low Carb Tips" on the menu bar at the top of the page .... read the article Ketones and Ketone Test Strips. It will answer your concerns. The sticks are a guide only, and not the be-all and end-all.
You will experience the most success if you follow the Induction program as written. That means consuming up to 20g carbs and having fresh salads and low-carb vegetables - and yes, a few strawberries - as part of your daily menu.
