Hi everyone, I'm one of those people that starts and stops and I can't seem to go beyond 5 days to one week. I have an embarrassing problem. My husband complains about how bad my breath is when I'm on this and I can't take it, so I start eating again. I try everything: brushing my teeth, mouthwash, breath strips, nothing seems to help. Does anyone else have this problem or is something wrong? Help! I really want to stay compliant and lose this weight. I am miserable. Any advice?

Claudia-

I suffer from the occasional ketosis bad breath & yes my husband & daughter tend to point it out! I just laugh & tell them it is out of my control. See, I would rather suffer from stinky breath that I know will go away then not get my weight off. So look at it as a good thing. Atleast you I both know we are for sure in ketosis!!

I know that having bad breath is really hard though- my older sister has suffered with bad breath for about 5 years & it is a real problem that never goes away for her even after going to tons of doctors. I am greatful that mine will go away.

Please don't let the breath thing stop you from doing this. Just say oh well & enjoy watching the weight fly off!

My breath smells like ROSES! LOL... No, I'm serious!

I started drinking rose water... Basically an iced tea that I made from Food Grade Rose Petals. I steep a large handful of the dried petals in water in a pitcher overnight in the fridge & voila! Then, I add some Splenda and, sometimes, a little daVinci's vanilla syrup or vanilla extract. Steep for a day in the fridge & voila!

It seems to help... :-) It also helps me get all of my water in for the day...

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone. It really means alot that people take the time enough to post a reply to my dilemma. I will try the iced tea and see how that goes. This is difficult enough without having bad breath to go with it. Anyway, thanks again everyone.

Dinking lots of water seems to help me, the more I drink the less it is noticed. Also altoids has a sugar free mint now.
Wow victoria7 that rose water sounds wonderful, I am going to have to try that.
