Atkins diet and ketosis?
Question:
Answers:
When you're in ketosis, you may be giving off ketones in your breath and urine. They do have an odor. Personally, I like having "keto breath" it tells me I'm burning fat.
The effect can be reduced or eliminated by drinking plenty of water and getting lots of exercise.
Would I lie to you?
I think I heard it makes your mouth taste funny, like sweet or something.
if you dont keep yourself clean then yes. but usually its your breath that changes. you get a strange breath and your mouth starts tasting sweet. im on ketosis so i think i would know.
Really serious ketosis will give you what's called 'acetone breath'. But that's like a serious medical emergency. You would probably pass out from low blood sugar first. It happens to some diabetics, but I don't think a low-carb diet would take you quite that far.
