One of the disadvantages of this diet is the horrible breath. I have read about this before, but it never crossed my mind that I will be suffering this when she announced that she was going on this diet.
My questions are:
1- What can she do in order to over come the horrible breath problem?
2- How can I tell her without hurting her feelings?
It’s really horrible for me… when we’re talking, and worse, when kissing!
Help me please…

She can over come it by drinking lots of water. As to how you tell her without hurting her I don’t know. best of luck with that.

1, It’s very simple, Listerine Breath strips are zero carbs, therefore the best thing to use to keep your breath smelling decent.
2, Be honest! Tell her since she has been on the diet, you can tel a difference in the way her breath smalls..tell her about the Listerine strips.
(You may want to ask her first if SHE has noticed a difference in her breath, and then take it from there…)

Lots of water, cold tea, fresh fruit and veggies, like oranges,apples take away bad breathe, just offer her and apple….also listerine strips, sugar free gum….I diet as well so I know, but my breath don’t stink cause I take care of it, she should do the same. Brush after every meal.
