I Have Heard You Get Bad Breath On This Diet, What Can I Do To Prevent This?Updated 2 months ago

Managing Bad Breath on Your Diet

Experiencing bad breath, or halitosis, can sometimes be a side effect when your body enters ketosis, but there are effective ways to manage it. Here’s how you can stay fresh and confident on your journey:

Hydration is Key:

Ensure you're drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Staying well-hydrated helps flush out ketones and keeps your mouth moist, reducing bad breath.

Helpful Products:

• Mouthwash and Breath Strips: Listerine Original Mouthwash and Cool Mint Breath Strips are excellent options for freshening your breath. These products can be conveniently purchased online and are great for on-the-go freshness.
• Chewing Gum: Consider using xylitol gum or dental gum, available at health food stores like Holland and Barrett. Xylitol helps neutralise bad breath effectively, making it a smart choice.

Dental Hygiene:

Maintain a thorough dental hygiene routine. Be sure to floss regularly, brush your tongue, and follow good dental practices consistently. This will help reduce any ketosis-related bad breath and keep your mouth feeling fresh.

Focus on Your Journey:

Remember, while ketosis can cause bad breath, our diet plan does not require ketosis for weight loss. The calorie deficit alone is effective in helping you reach your goals.

By incorporating these strategies into your routine, you can effectively manage and reduce bad breath. If you have any additional concerns or need further guidance, our support team is always here to assist you. Enjoy your journey with confidence and freshness!
