If you experience "ketone breath", it will only happen when you are metabolically utilizing ketone bodies. As such, it should only happen when you are in ketosis. However, not everyone who is in ketosis will experience ketone breath.
As far as other people detecting your ketone breath, the simple answer is "it depends". A certain percentage of the population cannot smell ketones. For those who can, it will range from a juicy fruit gum smell to "dead animal stink" as alluded to earlier.
Ketone breath has nothing to do with what type of meat you eat. |
