Bad Breath
I don’t like worrying about my breath on KETO and it’s often less than fresh smelling. Best fixes to keep me kissable?

In the 4th week keto my family told me my breath wasn’t great 🙁 It just about made me quit. Thankfully I got real with myself and decided I would try to fix the breath and not quit the diet that has changed everything for me. My blood ketone strips were measuring pretty high ketones so I decided to up my carbs and try to keep my ketones around 1mml PLUS brush more, use gum more and also use peppermint essential oils here and there. Just a dab on the roof of my mouth. OH and drink more water. I told my husband to promise to tell me if it stinks again and he said it’s been fine. I know some people say it gets better as your body adapts longer so keep going!!! It’s worth it!

Yes, drink more water. You can take some Pelegrino water and add a splash of lemon and/or lime juice. Also beverages such as mint tea can be helpful.
And, yes, the funky keto breath does go away. Hang in there.
