Fat Breath

So, Riah & I are eating pretty healthily right now. Like, really, really healthy. We're both pretty tired of the jiggle.

The other night he was complaining that he had bad breath. Mine, too tasted rather steamy & stale, like on days that I'm fasting. Normally when my mouth tastes like that my solution is to cleanse my palate with some sort of yumminess (which explains the jiggles), but lately my solution has been a bunch of cold water.

Something, however, was squirming from the back of his mind and he Googled 'fat burn + bad breath.' (And how cool are you if you invent a product that becomes a verb? I mean, really.) What he found was an article that explained that when you burn fat, you release ketones, which cause bad breath. So our untasty halitosis was a result of fat cells shrinking and melting like the Wicked Witch of the West. Well, not exactly like that, but it makes for a good visual.

So next time you're tasting stale, steamy and stinky, grab the gum and BRING ON THE FAT BREATH!!!
