Started on induction 6 days ago

[sikandar]

Hello,

Just wanted to introduce myself, I have started on induction 6 days ago and I think the ketosis has started yesterday since I could really feel my mouth was stinking. Is it ok to eat sugar free gum to get rid of it? I have lost about 5-6 pounds so far so the weight loss is not bad. I have to loose 50 pounds overall and I am hoping to loose them in about 2 months. Is that a fair goal?

Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks

Congrats on your weight loss so far! my story is virtually identical (day 7, lost 8 lbs, breath is not good at all.) I think it would be okay to chew sugar free gum every once in a while, but don't make it habitual.

good luck!

It is 'ok' just watch out..it stalls many people ( myself included )

Two months to lose 50 pounds seems pretty fast to me.

Just be careful on the rapid weight loss. I'm on Induction until Memorial Day and staying on plan to lose about 2 - 3 pounds a week. I don't want to gain any back so I've extended my goal.

Also, keep a toothbrush with you so you can brush your tongue. It helps.
