Smile whats that smell? oh its my breath...

Hi every1,

I'm back again after having my daughter (ok, so that was 19 months ago but never mind)

I know the answers on this site somewhere, but I cant find it.

My breath... Stinks!

I know its part of ketosis but I really need some cures for it before I knock everyone out with it! I've heard of chewing fennel seeds, that wasn't so nice, if there are any mintier alternatives I'd love to hear them! (oh yeah, stuff you can get in the UK if poss)

Thanks in advance

Munch x

A couple of drops of mint extract in your water bottle might be an acceptable remedy. Many people have reported that this has worked for them.

I found increasing my water intake also helped. Drinking plenty of water will help ketones leave the body through urine, while diluting their concentrations inside mouths at the same time. So lots and lots of minty water!
