Ketosis and Keto-adaptation, keto pee strips are unreliable.
For people who are attempting to get into a keto-adapted state that produces the effect of 24/7 body fat oxidation, not just during exercise, this is the explanation for you.
Understand the difference, producing ketones and using ketones as energy are two different things. Your body will not absorb the ketones it makes if you're still eating significant amounts of carbs to induce insulin. One effect suppresses the other and vice versa.
For people who depend on keto pee strips to determine if they're in a keto-adapted state, it's unreliable and can produce a false-positive. The so-called keto strip only measures acetoacetate, a ketone your body is discarding and isn't being used.
It doesn't detect beta-hydroxybutyrate, the ketone that the body actually uses for energy. Like I said, unreliable. A truly keto-adapted person will show little to no sign of acetoacetate on a pee strip. The only way to truly know is to get a blood sample to see the concentration of beta-hydroxybutyrate in your blood.
