Ketone Breath?
I was wondering about ketone breath too. I've noticed that mine is tolerable as long as I keep drinking water. If I go for over 20 minutes without taking a sip or two of water, my mouth seems a bit foul. I haven't heard any complaints though either.
I use my keto breath as a sign that I'm still in ketosis. I tested myself yesterday with 31 grams of carbs and I'm allowed 25 now that I'm in my third week (I only signed on for 2 weeks of induction). Last night and this morning I still have keto breath. This mornings was enough to kill me.
I've noticed that a good sign of ketosis for me too is the water cravings. I feel constantly thirsty when I'm in ketosis.
I always drank a lot of water before but more out of habit not because I feel like I'm dying of thirst.
Oh, and I'm constantly dehydrated or something because even with constant lotion application, my humidifyer and all the water I drink, my skin is still way dryer than before I went on Atkins. I wonder if it'll ever go away.
