I have been using nectar Sweets Protein powder and I have two different flavors... Both give me horrible breath after drinking them or eating them in pudding... My mouth taste horrible and my breath is as rank as all get out! Does anyone else have this problem??

Also I was wondering if you all could share what type of protein you like or dont like.... I am almost out of one of my buckets and I need to get some more.

Thanks!

YEP, i get the dreaded bad breath every time i have a protein shake. I drink the Nectar Syntrax protein shakes as well. I love the flavors, so i just chew gum afterwards.

Same here gum helps.

I'm not allowed to have gum so I totally relied on Listerine Breath Strips. No chewing or swallowing requires and they were so useful post op!

It may not be as much your shakes as it is ketosis. The shakes might make it more so. For me, over time it stopped.

Entering the fat burning phase body slips into 'ketosis' which commonly leaves foul breath. I regarded my own phase with joy despite the odor.....it accompanied the most rapid weight loss I had experienced. Typically ketosis is a temporary intermediate phase that may last from a few days to a few weeks. If caloric intake remains less than metabolic needs, the shift to mobilizing the stored cheese burgers around our bellies into a more readily available form of energy....from fat/glycogen into glucose. Those on true fasts of a week or more will note a heavy whitish tongue coating along with 'dragon breath'. Later in the fast, both will clear and the tongue becomes pink and sweet again. LOTS of Water during this phase is important!

Thanks everyone... I cant have gum either but I had being using alot of listerine packs! I had asked the dietician and she said she has never hear anyone complain of bad breath... so I had to post this and see if there was anyone else, I knew I couldnt have been the only one! Thanks for sharing!!

I use the nectar too and definately makes my breath yuck! The listerine strips help me a,lot
