Bad Breath?!?!

[TaraKaye 44]

I could not find a post regarding this but since I started the Protein Drinks my husband says my breath is not pleasant that it smells of Protein even when I brush/use mouth wash. Has anyone else had the issue or have suggestions?

Are you on a low carb diet? It's possible your in ketosis. It's common on high protein/low carb diets.

and also too much protien can cause bad breath/body odor but it would take alot like over 100 grams plus daily to do it

Low carb diets make for awful breath. Are you eating less than 30g of carbs a day? Follow my lap band blog www.biscuitsandexcuses.blogspot.com

If you are in ketosis, then no amount of brushing will help. Been there done that. Sorry!

I have focused more on Protein but the most has been 70g a day. Carbs are between 40 and 60. I called and the nurse said its common due to changes in my body and food but that in time it should adjust. In the mean time tic tacs are my new best friend
