You have to drink water till your eyes turn blue. Water is the key to keep your breath clean. But you can also look at it this way. It's a sign that your burning fat and loosing weight.

Right on! But I am drinking three liters of water a day! Seriously, I think I should invest in Charmin toilet paper stock! Thanks Edo!!!

I know how you feel about the charmin.

For the breath problem, drink lots of water and brushing your teeth and your tongue helps too.

yes, what they said. It's caused by acetones produced by your body during ketosis. It should lessen as you up the carbs. Induction was something I raced through mostly beacuse of this problem.

All that above, and try adding a drop of mint extract to your water. It will freshen your breath, and help with your digestion, and it's refreshing, too.

Yep, all of the above. I've been flossing and scraping my teeth like mad these days, which has helped. I also bought a tongue scraper. I now use a rotary, electric toothbrush, which has also helped. And of course the mint drops in water really helps too!!!!!
