Many people suggest that drinking more water may help reduce a person's keto breath. This is because the body expels more ketones in urine rather than as a breath. By drinking water, people will produce more urine, which will help expel many of the ketones from the body.

Read More »Keto breath is an unpleasant side effect that a person can develop when they begin following a ketogenic diet. A person can try to reduce keto breath by drinking more water or slightly increasing the number of carbohydrates they eat. A ketogenic diet, or keto diet, involves a person eating very few carbohydrates. Instead, they get their calories from consuming fats and protein. People may describe the resulting breath smell as being fruity or sweet. Some people claim that keto breath will disappear once the body adapts to being in ketosis. Researchers think it takes at least 21 days to reach this state . By this point, a person’s body is more effective at burning the ketones it produces. This means there are fewer ketones to breathe out, which implies keto breath should improve. Until then, people can try to reduce or mask their keto breath by: 1. Drinking more water Share on Pinterest A person should drink more water to reduce keto breath. Many people suggest that drinking more water may help reduce a person’s keto breath. This is because the body expels more ketones in urine rather than as a breath. By drinking water, people will produce more urine, which will help expel many of the ketones from the body. Drinking water may also help flush out bacteria in a person’s mouth that could be causing bad breath. 2. Increasing carbohydrate intake When a person drastically reduces their carbohydrate intake, their breaks down fats for energy, which produces ketones. However, a person does not have to avoid all carbohydrates to achieve ketosis. The number of carbohydrates a person can eat without dropping out of ketosis will be different for each person but could be 20 (grams) g to 50 g if a person is consuming 2,000 calories a day. Eating more carbohydrates should mean a person produces fewer ketones. As a result, they should breathe fewer ketones out and have less keto breath. 3. Using mints People may use mints to mask keto breath. Sucking mints or chewing mint gum may be enough to hide the smell of keto breath. Chewing gum also increases the amount of saliva a person produces, which can help stop the bacteria that cause bad breath from growing in a person’s mouth. According to a study in the International Journal of Oral Science , lack of saliva may be a cause of bad breath in the morning. During the night, a person’s mouth produces less saliva, which allows more bacteria to grow. 4. Frequently brushing teeth Not only does the minty odor of toothpaste help mask the smell of keto breath, but brushing the teeth will help dislodge pieces of food in the mouth and teeth that can smell as they break down in a person’s mouth. Prevention There is not a clear way of preventing keto breath. Anecdotally, it is a side effect that almost everyone who puts their body into ketosis will experience. Other signs of being in ketosis Share on Pinterest A person who has keto flu may experience nausea, dizziness, and headaches. Keto breath is a clear sign a person is in ketosis. Another key sign is keto flu. According to some reports, keto flu normally goes away after a few weeks, once a person’s body adapts to ketosis. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) , a person who has keto flu is likely to experience some of the following symptoms: nausea
