B

Celeste has been trying to lose weight for the past five years without much success. A friend tells her about a special diet plan that restricts carbohydrates but lets the dieter eat unlimited amounts of fat and protein. Celeste decides to try this diet, so she stops eating carbohydrate-rich foods such as pasta, bread, rice and potatoes. She also avoids sweet foods and beverages, including most fruits. Instead, she starts eating a lot of meat and fatty foods to supply her calorie needs. Celeste loses quite a bit of weight, but she notices that she has less energy and tends to be more irritable than usual. After a few weeks, she also notices that her breath has an odd, sweet smell to it. a.) The sweet or fruity smell from her breath is termed _______________? b.) What is this due to? c.) Is this healthy state?

a)Ketosis breath
b)Ketosis is due to acetone,a volatile ketone that cannot be metabolized in the body and escapes from the blood via the lungs.(NOTE: In short,the body,as amazing as it is,is attempting to reach homeostasis (equilibrium)versus going into or farther into ketoacidosis.Therefore,the lungs work to breathe out the acetone,which gives the breath a sweet,more commonly described as fruity,odor.)
c.)No,in the short term no damage is done but long term can produce significant health risks.
