Am I going to smell?!?!

(Hannah) #1

Ok silly question…! But at the weekend I was talking to some family memebers about my plan to start the Keto diet later this week and they were all like “oooh you’re going to have bad breath and smell like wet dog”

Whaaaat?

Keto breath is a thing but it doesn’t happen to everyone and eases after adaptation, and as a dog owner, I can honestly say… people on keto smell nothing like wet dogs.

Haha thank you! What can I use for breath? As I’m guessing sucking on mints isn’t going to be very keto friendly!

Sugar free gum or sugar free mints. :slight_smile:

Maybe in the beginning on the BO, still for me after 6 months with the metal-breath haaha

Mint tea, I suggest green tea with mint. Win-win.

Thanks for all your suggestions! I didn’t know if chewing gum all the time would be good for my stomach but I suppose I can only try!

You can use the gum or tea when you want to ensure sweet breath! I also seem to brush my teeth more, even moving a second toothpaste/toothbrush by the kitchen sink!

I just brush my teeth after lunch.

Heh, well at least you found some people who actually know what keto is. Whenever I bring it up, people say they’ve never heard of it.
