How long does keto breathe last?

I am aware of the specific kind of bad breathe you get when your body is in ketosis ( I usually get it 14 hours into fasting) and currently following a 18:6 plan). I was wondering if the breathe will be this bad throughout my journey or will it go away? I am a few days into IF.

Answer

It goes away when you’re not into ketosis anymore. There are no mints or amount of brushing that will fix it because it comes from your lungs, it’s the acetone that’s a byproduct of ketosis that you exhale.

Also, this question is better suited to /r/keto

Answer

Depends largely on the person. After years…I still get it and carry keto friendly mints. It cones and fmgies for me…but is still around. Same as the metallic thing…still get that. I think for most it subsides as they become fat adapted (general assumption on that part)
