Bad breath after fasting but not on keto diet?

I still eat carbs, like potatoes, bread, chips, rice, pasta. Yet I’m noticing my breath is getting worse, especially right now where I haven’t ate for 18 hours. I floss twice a day and brush for two minutes. Is this normal?

Answer

That’s “keto” breath. After 12 hour mark you will start to notice that stanky keto breath, which is a great sign, but yes, it stinks to high h3ll! We do 20:4 in our house (sometimes 22:2,) & we have to open a window in our bedroom in the morning because the air will seriously stink. The great thing is the smell goes away as soon as you break your fast, so you feeding window you should not stink.
