    Congrats on the ketosis. Now hit the FAQ section and all of your ketosis questions will be answered. Dr. A recommends chewing parsley. Most folks recommend upping your water intake. You could also chew some sugar free gum, but I wouldn't if you were in induction.

        My breath is so bad that even my kids won't kiss me!

        I've been swirling regulary with mouthwash to try and beat it but...nada!

        Can we suck on sugar free mints? I am on Day 6 of Induction?

          We have a limit of up to 3 servings of sweetener per day - so eating sweets (even 'sugarfree' ones) will use up those servings quickly!!
          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
          Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

            This might be all in my head but mints and anything made with sweetners seem to make my breath worse.

              Have you tried fresh parsley? - it is pretty good.
              The bad breath will diminish over time. One day you may miss it - because it was such a sure sign you were in ketosis.
