Breath smells like acetone

My mom came over and was standing like 2 feet away from me and was like… what’s that smell? Smells like acetone/nail polish remover… and then LEANED IN and smelled my breath and was like errmm that’s your breath 😅 I know about the bad breath but didn’t think it was that bad 😂

Answer

This is why I ended a 30-day fast at the 20-day mark. My breath was smelling so bad and not only was it making me sick, but I was starting to get massively anxious in social settings—especially at work.

Nothing I did helped. Not sugar-free gum, gargling (Listerine, Thera Breath, salt water, or vinegar water), or using a metal tongue scraper. Nothing.

Keto breath is why I don’t do Keto or fast longer than 5 days. My job is client-facing and I’m in meetings all the time. I know some people have it for months and like…how??
