  • something minty for flying?

    Hi all

    Brief introduction - I have been on Atkins for around 5 months and have so far lost 40 of my planned 55 lbs. My reason for posting is this - I am about to go to America for a week and desperately want to find some sort of mint or sweet substitute i can take on the flight. Since I have cut out sugar i have been carrying around breath sprays when I am out and about, both for the donkey breath I seem to end up with and also because it stops my mouth feeling so dry. Obviously I won't be allowed to take the spray onto the plane due to the liquid rules, so I was wondering if anyone could suggest or recommend an alternative that is readily available in the UK? If it is in a boiled sweet or toffee form then even better to help with the popping ears, but basically anything allowed by both Atkins and American Airlines that will keep my mouth feeling fresh would be great...11 hours each way is a long time!

      What about sugar free Altoids or any sugar free mint.

      Also ... with only 13 pounds to go, you shouldn't still be on Induction! You should be almost finished with OWL and looking to premaintenance!

        They have the breath strips, instead of the spray. Listerine has cherry and regular flavors. I really like them to freshen up my breath!
