Ketostix are about 1 day late in showing you level of ketosis...keep in mind, it takes about 3 days to naturally get into ketosis, either way - you're checking too early.

Once your body becomes accustomed to the flip into ketosis, it will happen faster, you can use some help too:
first, day before you decide to get into ketosis start cutting back your overall cals and make most of them that were fat into carb calories... your last meal, in the early evening should be pretty simple sugar heavy. it helps the body flip.
every hour for four to six hours after that last meal, pop a Glucorell-R (rALA) tab, you will not want to be out on the town for this, it might make you a feel a bit like poop after a while, so do it at home then hit the hay.
Next morning: do back and legs. kick the shit out of them. Your food the first 24-48 hours should have NO carbs, not 24 or 22: NONE. 60%+ of your cals have to come from fat, not less.
That afternoon do some savage HIIT cardio, for real, it will suck, but kill it.
You will more likely than not be in ketosis by the time you wake the next morning, about 30-36 hours, not 72.
You CAN drop into ketosis with the help of Insulin abuse, in as little as 4-6 hours, but if you are not familiar and extremely experienced with its use and dangers, do not even think of fucking around with it. it can, and has, killed folks.

for me ketosis can begin in 24 hours. basically run it like they do for epileptic patients on a ketogenic diet, skip 2-3 meals, then eat about 90% fats w/ a little protein for the next 24 hours more or less unrestricted (0g carbs at this time) then up the protein to more like 20-25% and you'll stay in moderate to heavy ketosis (at least i do). be careful of things like ketchup, certain dressings, even diet soda (contains aspartame and citric acid). basically your food groups are FAT, MEAT, WATER. even peanuts and some meat products have carbs.
i suggest using ketostix, they are accurate and as long as your drinking lots of water which you need to be you'll be able to track ketosis within 30 min or so.
ketosis diets aren't delicious even though you get to eat all the fatty greasy meat you want, you will still want carbs, but the cravings are really nothing.
you can add in your carbs in the form of fiber supps & high fiber, low carb veggies (broccoli is perfect) but stay under 20g once ketosis is at a moderate or higher level. One ketchup packet can have 3-5g carbs so realize the impact these little things have.
busting your ass in the gym trying to deplete your glycogen stores will help but the most important thing is to completely remove every trace of carbs for the first 24-36 hours, your body will HAVE to go to ketosis, and when it sees you're eating lots of fat it will do this very readily.
then you can do CKD or TKD or whatever works for you.
