Bad breathe a sign of fat loss?

[FiveKey]

Someone told me that if you brush your teeth and go to bed but wake up with terrible breathe, it means that you are burning fat. Is this necessarily true?

That's all.

It means you need to brush your teeth more, use mouthwash and just practice better hygiene in general.

People on keto usually mention this side effect but when I did keto I never noticed it being an issue and nobody ever said anything either. If you can smell your own bad breath it's really bad. Of course I understand if you just consumed a tablespoon of garlic or something along those lines.

Then what did it mean the years when I was packing on pounds and waking up with stinky breath?

[FiveKey]

Well of course I don't mean general bad breathe. Someone else on this forum described it once as waking up with weird "pear breathe". Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Ah ****, I'm on my phone so I didn't notice your 2nd paragraph. Yes, I'm on keto.. I guess in reality it depends on person.

Come on guys, I'm hygenic! (except poop stains when squatting....)

[th3pwn3r]

Well, maybe I don't notice it because right when I wake up I go to my bathroom and brush my teeth using toothpaste.

[Innerpeace32]

This is better than toothbrush + toothpaste.

I had movers moving shiit in my room one time when i was at work. One of the bigger guys appearently asked if a bodybuilder or a workout dude lives here...appearently he could smell the ketones in my room...others think it stinks even though i shower before i go to bed. Who cares just eat low carbs and follow the diet.

eww. I had no idea....

[th3pwn3r]

Haha, that's a strong reason not to do keto aside from how restrictive it is.

[xR1pp3Rx]

the bad breath is a result or byproduct of the fractureing of ketones.. that byproduct youre breathing out is acetone ... and just so yall know. i find keto diets to be among the easiest of diets, you say its resrictive.. however that makes it real easy to make food choices no matter were you go.

thought op was going to get flamed, but thread turned into a very informative read on a side effect of ketosis.

I thought the same thing when I read the first response.

[FiveKey]

Thanks for your response Ripper. Damn, the same acetone used in organic chemistry labs to wash glassware? My innards are clean

MrJoey/ScScorp: Rep me! Haha, just kidding

no, but bad breath CAN be a sign of ketosis which means you are burning fat but that doesn't mean you're necessarily burning body fat. but if that were the case you'd have bad breath all day more then likely, your mouth would taste like metal and your pee would smell like nail polish remover.

[BigSouthernBoy]

As several have mentioned above, this could just be a matter of bad personal hygiene.

On the other hand, many individuals experience a "fruity" odor to their breath when following a carbohydrate-restricted diet regiment. This side effect is said to be the result of the breakdown and excretion of ketones while the body is in a ketosis state.

This. If you're in ketosis, you're definitely burning fat. But, it aint necessarily body fat.

[djcuuna]
