Poor you:hug99:

Promise, it does get much easier!

Drink plenty of water throughout the day and use listerine or Oraldene.

Tomorrow you should be in ketosis and hopefully you will have a feeling of well being.

Drinking water, water and more water does make it better, I promise. I feel like a sunken ship at the moment with all the water I have on board! You will feel more positive soon. Brushing your teeth and using Listerine definitely helps (my teeth are the cleanest they have ever been!) and I find this also stops me feeling hungry - you don't want to eat after brushing you teeth!

You can also use Dentyl which means you dont risk coming out of KT like you might with Listerine! You *can* however use Listerine strips, which I took around in my bag everywhere with me. Dont forget to brush your tongue too.

Everyone has given you great advice here, I personally got the listerene strips from the chemist I got my lipotrim from......try them hopefully they will stock them if not why not ask them too.

 

[blondie77]

im using the listerne strips and mouth wash and brushing my teeth about 5 times a day!!!!!

I am for the loads of water and original listerine, it does take the bad breath away.

i know how you feel, sometimes i get embarassed to even open my mouth and talk to someone.

i sip water all the time and that does make it a bit better

 

[blondie77]

quick queston plan to do this for about 3 weeks... is my breath goin to stink for the whole time??

 

[ducatidiva]

Yup, 'fraid so!!!!

The BAD side effect of ketosis is the bad breath, so all te time you are in ketosis it will be a bit pongy.

The GOOD effect of ketosis is of course that you are burning fat and losing weight nice and fast.

Now.... I dread the breath but the speed of the loss far outweighs the pongy breath any day

 

[blondie77]

oh no.... im not even hungry but this is really pi**ing me off

Just keep drinking your 4 litres of water, get yourself some listerine strips and some Dentyl (Listernie itself has alcohol in it), and just remember WHY you are doing this diet. Its a short term problem. I had to deal with a lot of clients whilst I was SSing and I actually apologised to them if my breath was pongy, telling them what I was doing and why my breath might be pongy. Not a single one minded and all were very impressed at the weight loss. PEOPLE DO UNDERSTAND!!!!

I'm on Day 8 so I'm definitely in ketosis and I don't find a problem with my breath - and my boyf and friends have assured me that there isn't. I do get an awful taste in my mouth every time I wake up but once I start drinking water it goes away.

I find that I am always sipping at something, either water, coffee r peppermint tea. I also use the listerine strips for a nice fresh boost.
