Urgggg ! Can't find good Keto breath mints!

True about the sucralose! I guess I am lucky and it doesn’t seem to affect me but the further into keto I get I am noticing I don’t really crave sweetness much. I really only use erythritol or stevia and only if cooking something that others will also be eating. One packet of the Sula humbugs seems to last forever now that my keto breath has gone :joy::joy:. Good luck with your search.

Being a sugar alcohol, we don’t process the carbs the same. Trial and error man!

I’ve read a little about that, but just to be safe, I pretty much stick to the net carb counts.

I don’t think it’s such a rare, lucky thing though. I think their are far more people who don’t use artificial sweeteners, in particular, Sucralose, not because they have actual physical problems with it, but because of “scary stories” they have read, or should I say, for psychological reasons.

I’ve never been one to base things on how things seem, or feel, but rather, how they really are, based on personal experience.

PS, around my parts, their seems to be this vocabulary thing lately, especially with young people, where they will start a discussion with, “I feel like…” I never call them out loud on it, but to myself, I always think, “Well there’s your first problem” :smiley: lol

The one I made is only peppermint extract in water. No sweetener. I am not against sweeteners, but I thought it tasted fine as is, so why bother adding anything else?

So the one I made was straight, pure peppermint extract, with several drops of Sucralose, and no water. Its strong, but not too terribly strong for me :slightly_smiling_face:

Sounds great, I will try this, cheaper and healthier so a win win! Thanks

I went into my garden grabbed some mint leaves and chewed those I think my keto breath has gone but now I’m leaving home with the proverbial spinach in my teeth :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Hehe, I guess when you do that, you need to brush your teeth after, before leaving the house, to avoid that!

Update: I liked that peppermint extract, straight, with several drops of Sucralose, so much, that yesterday I ordered six 2oz bottles of Watkins Pure Peppermint extract, for $19.95. Actually, I let a friend / co-worker get a spray last week, and he was like, Bro ! That stuff is great ! I’ll pay you for a bottle of it next week if you bring it… So one is gone already.

Also, the little atomizing sprayers I got work really well too :slightly_smiling_face: Super fine mist, and 1-3 sprays is perfect.

I swear this is my new little healthy addiction :slightly_smiling_face:
