Thread: Bad breath protein gob?

Has anyone ever suffered with bad breath from protein? Now Ive upped my protein intake again with my training my gob has been tasting like shit (or what I imagine shit to taste like!). Any idea if this is a lack of carbs or something or just my system getting used to the protein? It seems to be getting a lot better a few weeks on, just curious...

yeh my misus mentioned this when i was heavy on the protein, a lack of carbs can put you into Ketosis too, which can caouse bad breath (this is with zero to virtually zero carbs though)

Marc beat me to it - alot of people on the atkins say this so I am sure its due to being in keto - I find if I really go mad with the protein and cut my carbs to about 150 my gob smells funny and I have a strange taste - keto is normally 50g and below (so it is a bit weird - I think I can very carb sensitive) my advice buy a big tub of chewies - works for me.

well this explains why i have bad breath!

This topic smells really funky


but it's pretty obvious when anyone who's anyone, and has therefore tried to cut weight for whichever reason, has had to endure a more shy attitude towards life because of that.
