My Husband told me................
 

My husband and I were planting our garden yesterday and as we were talking he said..."you have bad breath".......... :daze: :D I smiled and said" yea its the Ketosis" ;)
I went back to planting and thought YES!!!! He told me I had bad breath, ohhhhh I love him soooooooooo much, lmao.

I also got out of the habit of cleaning off my son's plate to not waste food. I even tought him to scrape his own plate in trash before putting it in sink so there's not even a temptation.

In a health food store:
