10 Side Effects of Ketosis
Ketosis Side Effect #3: Bad Breath
One of the most notorious problems associated with the ketogenic diet is strange smelling breath. Some people think that this breath is bad, and others just find it different. Many people report that it’s a fruity smell, and this is a result of the body’s excretion of acetone.
Acetone is excreted through the urine and through the breath, and it has a powerful and highly recognizable smell. Since it’s being released through your breath, anyone who is able to smell your breath will probably notice.
