Low Carb Bad Breath
What does ketone breath smell like?
Keto breath produces a distinct taste or odor in the mouth that's different from ordinary halitosis or bad breath. Some people describe keto breath as having a metallic taste. In addition to a funny taste in the mouth, keto breath can be fruity-smelling or have a strong odor that's similar to nail polish remover.
Does low carb diet cause bad breath?

What is dry fasting?
In dry fasting, we eliminate water as well as food. In fact one day of dry fasting is said to be equivalent to three days of water fasting - as far as overall cleansing of the body is concerned.

Can you exercise during ketosis?
The short answer is: yes. Being on a low-carb diet does not mean exercise is completely off-limits. The keto diet can also affect your performance during certain exercises, and you won't be able to work out as intensely or often as you're used to.
