Actually, the bad breath is a result of ketosis. Ketones are eliminated through

the urine and the breath, and they make the breath stink. It has nothing to do

with not eating " cleaning " foods. AFAIK, people on Atkinds still brush their

teeth.

FWIW, I did both Atkins, and fasting, and I experienced ketosis with

both, but I never had bad breath either time.

Wow, you're lucky. DId you check your urine to make sure you were in ketosis?

 

I've never done fasting- my health jusr won't permit it. I am considering a

juice fast, so I'd at least still have calories coming in. How long did you fast

til you went into ketosis?

 

Before he moved in with me (I keep a meat-free house) my partner went on Atkins

induction, and he had horrible ketone breath. So did my ex-gf when she went on

another high-pro diet (a very healthy one, recommended for diabetics). Yech.

Hmmm........I wonder if that's the reason why my best friend Kenny has bad

breath. I always thought it was because he stuck his head in the toilet or

something LOL:)
