new to low carb, hating halitosis
"Dawn Taylor" wrote in message ... On 25 May 2004 08:15:02 -0700, (mish) announced in front of God and everybody: can't chew gum? what do i chew. i hate my breath. I'm fond of the Listerine breath strips myself. They'll burn all the stench out of my breath long enough for me to have a conversation, and then some. Dawn One thing to note too, some people claim tat the "keto breath" is caused by eating too much protein. You may want to try cutting your protein intake slightly. Chris |

Hard core bad breath defeats mere brushing and flossing. if it can't be tamed by brushing and flossing, no gum or mint is going to do anything more than temporarily mask it. And masking may be the best or only solution. Brushing and flossing address front-of-the-mouth halitosis related to stuck food particles, etc. But if the halitosis is coming from the back of the throat or up from the digestive system, you could spend your whole day brushing and flossing to no effect. Of course, you make a good point in that we should all brush and floss 3x daily, and that's the first place to attack any bad breath problem. But it's not going to solve all halitosis problems. no, i know that. but i'm constantly amazed by the way people just completely ignore the most basic things and instead rush to find a needlessly complicated solution to a simple problem. |

can't chew gum? Not if you're on Atkins Induction, nope. Induction lasts 14 whole days after which you can. what do i chew. Induction food. i hate my breath. No you don't. That's the smell of ketosis. *Love* it and enjoy it. Because about 2 weeks in it fades dramatically on its own accord whent he body adjusts to its new fuel. If you fight it now when it is intense, you will likely not be able to smell it in week 3-4 on, so you will be stuck using the sticks until you move on to phase 3 Premaint. If you *love* it now and focus on it, you are far more likely to still be able to smell it when it is faint and no one else can, so you will be freee of the sticks. After 3 weeks it gets so faint many can't smell it on themselves any more, but there is no point fighting it now and increasing your odds of needing the sticks. |

One thing to note too, some people claim tat the "keto breath" is caused by eating too much protein. You may want to try cutting your protein intake slightly. Drinking lots of water helps me with it. So do the Listerine breath strips. The keto-breath for me seems to go away when my body starts adjusting to low carbs. |
