General Health Information

With diet plans involving low intake of carbs such as the one developed by the late Dr. Atkins, bad breath
problems are very probable. In fact, nearly 2/3 of all people using the
plan to help them shed pounds report problems with bad breath in the
first 2-4 weeks. To help mitigate the dehydrating effects caused by
ketosis and the Atkins diet and thus help reduce problems with bad
breath and halitosis, you need to increase your water intake to
compensate. Fortunately, ketosis is not a permanent state on diets like
the one developed by Dr. Atkins so bad breath problems should slowly
begin to disappear as you begin adding back carbohydrates into your
diet.
