Anyone else get really bad breath when cutting ? I'm assuming its ketosis kicking in but I'm getting through chewing gum like nobodies business!

    I don't like admitting this, but I'm a blunt person.. :)

    I occasionally do because I am diabetic, and its a common symptom. Drink lots of water and I always have gum on me at all times :) In the car, in my purse, in my coat, in my desk, and my guys place!

    I read that badbreath is a sign of being in ketosis :)

    thanks I thought it might be. Not doing "Atkins" but do tend to have a high protein intake in my diet.

    I've noticed it also. I have been drinking so much water but it doesnt seem to help. Im with you on the ketosis. Im thinking thats what it might be.

    My husband does when he eats low carb/high protein. I am not sure on mine. I don't notice a funny taste and my husband has no sense of smell, LOL.

    Have you also noticed your sweat to smell VERY strongly of ammonia?
