Ketosis is death breath

jackieb2 · 09-07-2007, 10:07 AM

I remember when I got into ketosis I had the worst breath. I mean bad sewer mouth.

I chewed gum and it was still there. Does everyone get this. lol

I was on atkins then though, but that was the worst part. I would go and talk to people and I would think. "3 feet back remember" he he... but I did lose 15 lbs so it was worth it..

when you are in ketosis the body will off gas the acetone type of the ketone body through your lungs. it will also secrete the hydroxybutyrate form in your saliva. you can "dilute" the amount you are sheding by drinking water so they clear your system in your urine.

some folk use breath strips or mints other parsley
