Has anyone experienced this bad taste in their mouth? I'm like week 2 out and i can taste the bad smell. It's like the worse side effect ever. I have great oral hygiene and this has never been an issue for me. Any suggestions?

Ketosis? Side effect of ultra low carb.

Yes. Ketosis plus you are rapidly losing fat stores which tend to hang on to toxins\hormones. Many people find their sweat smells worse for the first several months as well as they release all that crap from their systems. Good news is... It will pass.

This is so true! My husband has been complaining about my "protein breath" (I didn't take the time to educate him about ketosis breath) ever since the weight loss began. I started chewing mint gum fairly early on because I'm an optometrist so I have to get close to people. I also use breath spray, and the minty CD Bigelow Mentha shimmer tint from Bath and Body works. I get my breath spray at Dollar Tree, stocking up when I can find it. Lastly, I scrape my tongue faithfully after eating or protein, and sip water too. It all helps, if only in my mind! But yes, it gets better with time!

Yes. My breath is horrible, and I get the worst tastes (sadly, that generally happens about half an hour after brushing my teeth...I get the worst taste in my mouth). I drink loads of water and pray for it to go away.

Thank you guys so much!! This truly helped as I thought I was going crazy. Lol. Whoever came up with this app is a miracle.

Yes it is true. In the beginning my son kept saying "mommy your breath eww" it goes away I swear!!

Seriously, this means you are doing the low carb thing correctly. I invested in listerine breath strips at Costco. They helped a lot.
