What Causes Disgusting Breath When on the Keto Diet?

The Keto diet is based on low carbohydrate intake in order to burn fat instead of glucose for energy. A by-product is a substance called ketones produced in the liver which can leech in to the breath, creating a foul odour in the mouth.

Key takeaways:

– A lot of protein can also contribute to the bad odour, as they sit at the back of the tongue when they breakdown.

– Stimulating saliva with water can help with Keto diet breath as can sugar-free mints, gum or mouthwash.

– Regular visits to the dentist, flossing and twice daily teeth brushing are important to keep good oral health.

“Once your blood ketones reach a certain level, you are in ketosis. When your body releases ketones, they leach into your urine and breath; hence, the foul smell.”
