  • bad breath!

    What a gift, but also a curse. I know its good because its a symptom of ketosis but I can't seem to get rid of it! I've tried gargling, breath spray, gum, hard life savers type mints, altoids, brushing my teeth many times a day. Any tips?

      What I do is drink a lot of water, brush my teeth often, and use dental floss and mouthwash. I never knocked anyone down with my breath (yet), so I guess it works.

          " hard life savers type mints, altoids"

          You probably already know this, but for those who don't, these aren't induction "legal." I believe three Altoids have 2g carbs (2g sugar) if I recall correctly...they should count toward the daily limit.

          I find that Tom's Natural Mouthwash works wonders for me on induction...

            I will try that. Can I get that at a typical grocery store?

            And about the mints, I was desperate, it was baaaad, I didnt overdo it because I'm still losing weight.

              Yes, most grocery stores carry it. I find the ones with baking soda work best. However, I'm now using the Cinnamon/Clove which has witch hazel in it, and I like it better. No alcohol in any of their mouthwashes. If your grocery doesn't have it, then your local earthy-crunchy store (like Whole Foods) definitely will...good luck!

                I just pop plain old winterfresh gum. I know it's not good but it hasnt hindered my results.
