So when your 5 and 7 year old old their nose at times and say "Mama you have stinky breath" - it's time to ask the question. :scratch:

If you have this problem, how do you combat it? I smelled something "off" the other day and figured out IT WAS MY BREATH!!! :oops:

I know we can have up to 5 sticks of sugarless gum. YAY!
I chew Extra Wintergreen. I hate that "hot" mouth feeling. Have for years. I always feel like I have bad breath if my mouth gets hot. :lol:

I think you can also have sugarless mints. Not sure how many though. Someone else will chime in here with more advise, I'm sure.

Sugar free mints, baby!

I think once your body goes into ketosis you get a "metal mouth." But, I'm no expert and certainly no health advisor. I read that somewhere. What I do know though is sugar free mints are a staple.

I like those listerine strips. They dissolve on the tongue, and I pop one in before I have to talk to anyone!

I'll take "ketosis breath" ANY DAY OF THE WEEK if it means I keep losing weight like I am now!

We're winning, can't you tell?

Don't get me wrong....I'm not stopping this plan!!! :shock:

I am not a gum chewer - never have been - so I rely on sugar free mints. But it is hard when all of a sudden someone is about a foot away from your face and for a split second you panic - oh no.....do I smell "stinky" as my kids say.

The price I have to pay for thinnyville I guess!! :yippee:

Does everyone have the breath thing that people talk about? Im on my 4th week and haven't experienced it.... just curious

maybe you might try those body mint supplements. they help with all sorts of things like bad breath, stinky feet, and body odor. i had bought some for my husband a while back, because he is a marine and has to run about 6 miles a day....hence the stinky feet problem. lol. but it would be convenient for you. just an idea.

You can look, but don't smell! :dance:

Joelie ... I believe the max is five per day of total consumption of SF gum or SF mints.

My wife, a dental hygenist, uses that highly technical phrase, "Geez, your breath is bad !" She recommends the Listerine strips as well. In a backwards kind of way, at least I know when I'm in ketosis, my breath is horrible and I'm getting thinner. Not an ideal situation but I'll take it any day.

FORMOMMY · by **FORMOMMY** » March 25th, 2006, 6:35 pm

ktrout - maybe my daughter is a dental hygenist in the making - HA!

Guess I'll get some of those strips.

Bad breath - pounds melting away.....easy trade off!

Hyperion · by **Hyperion** » March 28th, 2006, 6:58 am

Haha, my breath is horrible too :shock:

That's one of the only things I won't miss when I get out of ketosis

But mints and listerine strips are the way to go IMO!

I found out brushing teeths are useless since the breath comes from inside, not from bacterias in mouth.

Oh well, little price for big results

I use mints too. I just put it in my cheek, so it lasts longer. LOL! Thank goodness they're small so I don't look like the Godfather. But mints are my friend.
