Expired ketostrips?

Half a year ago I bought a pack of 125 keto tests. The pack says to use them within 30 days. Now I’m 60 hours into a dry fast, and the strips show no color at all.

Is it me or is it the ketostrips?

Answer

If there’s no color at all then it’s the strips. But keto strips aren’t a great way to measure ketosis anyway.

The reason there are keytones in your urine is because your body isn’t effectively using the keytones it produces and it’s dumping the keytones. After you are fat adapted your body will use the keytones more efficiently and not dump as much and the keytone strips will indicate a lower level of ketosis than you are actually in.

But if the strips are showing nothing at all then they gone bad.
