Low Carb, Bad Breath?
« on: January 07, 2009, 08:52:58 PM »
I get really bad breath, and a strange taste and feeling in my mouth/head when I go low carb.

Anyone else get that?  ???

Any way to prevent it?

Metallic tasting?
That is very common when in ketosis.


Any way to prevent it?
Add more carbs to your diet. It shouldn't take much to bump out of ketosis.

yes, this is associated with ketosis.

the feeling in your head should be quite pleasant.

Thanks for the info, the feeling isn't really pleasant.  I guess I wasn't meant to go to low carb. :D

maybe you need to go zero carb for a while. if its just low carb,, you may be just on the edge of ketosis, and the feeling in your head if thats the case, will be very unpleasant.

it happens all the time in ketosis to everyone.  Make sure you drink enough water to, it can help.
