  • Bad taste?

    for the last 3 days I have had this bad taste in my mouth. Brushing my teeth helps for a little while but then the nasty taste comes back. My breath also smells strange. My husband said it smells like a hospital. Whatever the heck that means! I know when your in ketosis your breath is suppose to smell sweet, but hospital does not smell sweet. Any suggestions to fix the bad taste and smell?

    You could try chewing parsley or mint.

    Your breath is most likely coming from your lungs ...

    Also ... drink more water.

    Ketosis breath does stop!

      I never found my ketosis breath to be sweet. I chew a lot of parsley and mint and carry a small mouthwash with me in my purse. My son took chlorophyll capsules and they helped him a lot. He got them from one of the online vitamin sites. I do find there is always a slight aftertaste in my mouth from ketosis. For me it never quite goes away.

      It's not about the results. Its about the process.

        There's also Listerine "breath" strips that dissolve in your mouth (cool mint flavor I think). I know it sounds kinda weird lol but I've used them before and they work pretty well.
