Keto and "fruity" breath.

[kentucky]

I have read alot about the symptoms of ketosis...

I'm on my 11th day of CKD, and I'm losing fat, so I really don't care enough to spend the money for ketosticks - just happy to be losing fat.

But what does everyone mean about 'fruity breath'???...I haven't noticed this....nor have I noticed a significant change in my urine...I drink about 1+ gallon of water throughout the day, so could this be why I don't notice it. . .

Is there anything else that I could notice, besides not being hungry, to let me know I'm in keto. and how can I distinguish fruity breath from normal?

When your body gets minimal carbs (when on Keto) ... you get REALLY bad breath.

so is it sweet breath...

Or a constant - I just woke up and had a dream I was eating ass - smell?

 

[ZKaudio]

it is not sweet breath, it's more of a metallic, HORRID smell.

 

[kentucky]

what about your urine. what type of smell is it?

I also read about Body odor, what about it?

The body odor thing reminds me of......well....sort of a sweaty old man smell. That's the best description I got.
The breath thing may be more noticeable in the morning after a long lack of water.
Congrats on the results! Best of luck to ya!
