This unpleasant side effect of diet is normal when it comes to high protein diets which lack a certain needed amount of carbohydrates. And since our body needs such for energy conversion, what happens is that it uses other components in that body to make it work.
Now since our body process involves the conversion of energy and carbohydrates is one of the main components involved in the process, the body uses substitute components to convert such as proteins and fats which when converted, may produce chemicals such as ketones. Ketones are known to be responsible for that unpleasant odor that can either be noticeable as you exhale air coming out from your body, or may be a noticeable foul odor in any other part of your body.
This could be very alarming to those who are on a low carb diet, and at the same time, exercising their way through to firm up those muscles and lose weight. Since they need to shed off those pounds, they would have to religiously follow their low carb diet.
While on the other hand, they are also required to perform regular exercises to cut down the fats and firm the muscles, so they would have to replenish the lost proteins through taking in food with high protein content. In this continuous scenario, the ketones would then be produced. Then after, it will be released to the body, which would eventually result to a release of that unusual smell we call bad breath.
