7.Your Breath Might Smell Weird
When your body runs on fatty acids instead of carbs, it releases ketones through your breath as acetone. Your breath might smell fruity or sweet. Some say it tastes like decaying apple. Also, if your mouth is dry, you can have bad breath. That’s because there’s not enough saliva to get rid of bacteria and extra food particles in your mouth. So stay hydrated.
8.Your Blood Sugar Levels Might Dip
A super low-carb diet can lower your blood sugar levels. This can help if you have diabetes. But in true ketosis, hypoglycemia is a risk. This happens when your blood sugar dips too low. The go-to treatment is to have 15 grams of carbs to raise it. If it’s still too low after 15 minutes, you’ll need another 15 grams. If you have diabetes, check your sugars often and know that you may need to adjust your meds while on this diet.
