Well I will be 7 months out next week.  These past two weeks I just have this taste in my mouth that wont go away!  The only way I can describe what it taste like is if you have ever ate a CREAM PUFF and you get that cream taste left in your mouth I know gross... but its really becoming a pain in my mouth! not really but the weird thing is it comes about afternoon ish and stays all night no matter if I brush my teeth and rinse its still there.

 

Has anyone else had this or am I just the crazy one??cool

That is interesting hope some has an answer for you.  Wonder if it is Ketosis from losing so much so fast?

I'll bet it IS Ketosis Breath which can also leave a bad taste.  Give it a Google.

If you low carb it is ketosis. It is a good thing! Some people buy strips to pee on to make sure they stay in ketosis. Your breath confirms it. Ketosis is the reason people doing adtkins lose weight quickly.

I work with Kidney Docs It might be good to lose weight but its not good for your Kidneys and w/o those we would all be in trouble.  If that is the case I think I might be upping my Carbs!cool

What is your average daily carb intake. You usually have to stay below 20 to get into ketosis?... That is just my understanding.

I try to stay under 40 but its more like up to 50 grams every other day... It might be b/c I'm not taking any of my vits :( I get my labs done again by PCP this time in two weeks, so I guess Ill ask then!

It's from ketosis and it's not a problem.  Ketoacidosis is totally different, and it IS a problem.  But definitely ask your doc to make sure.

BTW, I always say it tastes like you're sucking on old pennies - metal mouth!
