10 Most Common Signs and Symptoms of Ketosis

# Foul Breath

When your body enters ketosis state, the production of ketone bodies increases. And when the number of ketones is raised, it is removed from the body through the breathing process and urine. Common ketone forms present in the body are beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone. A combination of these ketones creates a fruity and sweet-smelling breath. But, when the amount of acetone increases in excess then it smells like a nail polish remover and also called as nail polish remover breath.

There are some ways through which you can reduce bad breath like oral rinses, brushing teeth for a number of times, and sugar-free gums. Including carbs in your diet can help lower the level of ketone production. But be careful as it may also kick you out of ketosis.
