Hi Kassy,
Dr A says that when our body burns ketones for energy, we will have 'ketone breath' which means bad breath. You can look at this two ways. 1) Whoa, have I got bad breath, I can't do this diet. OR 2) Cool, I can tell I'm losing weight because my mouth tastes bad. I'd better go brush my teeth.
The precise method of measuring the ketones our body burns? By measuring the ketones in the breath. Since you need a lab & special equipment for this, we use Ketostix instead.
It's your call: what matters the most to you?: Losing weight or the bad taste in your mouth.
