And its driving me nuts! I can taste the ketones on my tongue and I'm happy about that and all but I cant get the taste out of my mouth! I've been drinking my water and eating good foods and brushing my teeth but its still there. Any suggestions?

Re: I have fat breath!
Dentists are suggesting you brush your tongue now for bad breath. Just lightly over the top. It does help. Make sure you rinse your brush throughly after.

Re: I have fat breath!
You can try breath sprays or better yet - but some fresh mint or take some toothpicks and coat in cinnamon to chew on -- just suggestions

Re: I have fat breath!
I just drink tons of water to try and get rid of the taste- bonus is that trying to rid myself of bad breath is making me get all my water in!~Amy~

Re: I have fat breath!
Mine eventually goes away with time. There's nothing you can really do. I tend to keep my distance when talking to people during the first few days of induction. I think the water drinking does it for me. I had never paid any attention to my ketone breath! I wonder how many victims I've had! lolComment

Re: I have fat breath!
LOL you reminded me of the time my daughter (6) did that and was like "Mommy your breath smells like pineapples". I have no idea if that is good or bad.... I had not eaten a pineapple in months...Originally posted by RachelnLa
Oh if anyone has not mentioned it (sorry only made it down this far in the thread) The tounge scrapper (sp) is in the toothbrush isle. Works real good to get the build up off your tounge. Will gross you out the first time you use it!

Re: I have fat breath!
Thanks for the suggestions! I do brush my tongue, always have. I guess I will just need to put up with it. The fresh mint and parsley is a good idea. I also bought some sugarfree mints to help. I don't remember it being like this the last time around although that was well over 2 years ago so I might just not remember...F 24 5'10 SW - 217 GW 170 restarted atkins 1/14/08 - This time I'm sticking with it!
