ketosis breath going away

[lason]

for the past few days i noticed that nasty taste in the back of my mouth hasn't been as prevalent. does that mean i'm slipping out of ketosis? i dont have the stix to check and i heard they aren't always accurate anyway.

Re: ketosis breath going away

okay, I dont know if this relates but both topics that you are talking about relate. This morning I woke up with the most terriable of breath... and I was thinking to myself this must be the bad breath that everyone is talking about. So, I then took out one of those keto sticks and tested... it was only like skin color.

I heard the same thing about the stick testing... maybe I wasted the fifteen dollars it cost to buy the darn things. I should be in ketosis - I am almost positive that I am there. But according to the stick there were only traces of ketones in my body.

Everything else going okay with your weight loss? Inches coming off?

well, according to the scale i gained a pound but i'm not really too concerned. my appetite is still heavily suppressed so i guess that means i'm in ketosis, no?

To quote a lot of other people on the board, being in ketosis is like being pregnant. You're either in it or not (pregnant or not pregnant)

Basically if the stick does change to a slight color to show at least a trace amount there you're in ketosis. Trace amounts just might mean that your body is using the ketones very effeciently and therefore they're not being discarded in your urine.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the feedback. I tested again this morning just to see if there was any changes and it was the same color as before. I am feeling great though so I am just going to stick with it. Thanks again.
