What Can Cause Dizziness And Bad Breath While On A Carbohydrate Free Diet?

I have horrible breathe a it started after I decided to take carbs out of my diet. I supposed it time I did a body cleans to get rid of parasites, since I pooped out a large white one. I started with one meal a day: no sugar, bread, coffee. I felt great the very first day but later felt strange in my head with a normal blood pressure and sugar level. I have been having dizzy spells, breathe I awful.

Hi,

Your body is using ketones as the source of energy now. You will feel a headache and dizziness for some more time. Bad breath is due to ketosis. Don't worry your body will adapt to this environment soon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
