Thread: ​Bad Breath Shame

I'd read on here and other places that CWP gives you bad breath, and there is nowt you can do about it apart from drink more water, chew gum, use mouthwash etc. But to start with I didn't feel I had breath issues. My sister started the diet the same week as I did and she said she had a terrible taste in her mouth, and could even see her work colleagues flinching a bit when she spoke. Now, my sister has normal breath and no bad taste, whereas two months in I have just started getting a wretched metallic taste in my mouth, and was offered gum by a friend yesterday - totally out of the blue, she has never done this before.

The lady-shame!!!!

I think the metallic taste is from the products, defo had that too but not really suffered from bad breath.

I know because I said to my friends it'd happen and kept asking them if my breath was bad, lol. I do use month wash, mouth spray, a tongue scraper etc!

My "wonderful" has been pointing out the ketosis breathe frequently and is finding it hard to want to kiss me at the moment.... he says that it smells sweet and a bit like alcohol.. like I've got an alcohol problem... i can't tell at all so I'm reliant on him! Mint tea and brushing teeth seem the only two things that he says make a difference..... so I'm trying to keep a distance from people.....

My partner says I smell funny when I'm doing this diet......ah well keeps him away for a while and I get thin...everyones happy

My mum told me after day 2! Since them I'm paranoid about it & apologise to my friends before they can even get near me! The price of getting thinner!!

Ha ha ha ha ha!!! Love it!!!!!

My CWPC says it's fine to have sugar free gum on this diet. I've been chewing it all week. X

my OH say my breath hasnt changed, but i think his breath smells different! Its so sweet, not horrible but i have never smelt his breath before, has anyone else noticed this?

my Oh is on the diet too so we are both as bad as each other .....no kissing until teeth brushed ;p x

my OH wants to go on it but he doesnt want to be weighed by the consultant or see her! he wants to do it himself with the products, i keep trying to get him though as he does need to loose as well, i think once he sees how well i am doing he will want to start x

Just seen your post, if your oh doesn't want to see a consultant, why doesn't he do Slim&Save as you just buy the products online and weigh yourself at home x

Blond, it's the ketones in your mouth, not the products

I have to say this metallic taste is awful! Have done the Cambridge in the past and not had anything like this. Can not get rid of it no matter what. though Councillor has always said don't have gum or mouthwash as that effects ketosis - anyone any ideas?

Weird. My breath smells and I can taste an old milk taste but not metallic? Metallic taste is a sign of pregnancy u know? lol. I use listerine mouthwash I just take care not to swallow any and I've not come out of ketosis x

May well give it a try thanks its doing my head in no matter how many times I brush my teeth its still there. Re pregnancy would be the second immaculate conception lol

I hear ya!

Me and the hubby have agreed not to sleep facing each other cos we stink so bad.

I live on ice drops its a breath freshener that works amazingly. Few drops on the tongue lasts hours.
