    yucky taste in my mouth...

    This is my third day...no cheating at all. The first 2 days i got dizzy, today i was feeling ok. The only thing that really bothers me is the horrible taste in my mouth. It can only be washed away by drinking water. I had not felt this before (the previous time i was on ATKINS)...

    is it Ketosis?...Im in latin america so trying to find the ketosis sticks might be a bit tricky. I have been sweating a lot and the horrible taste in my mouth feels awful no matter how much i brush my teeth.

    Advice anyone?...and is it ketosis?

    Absolutely, I personally dont have the taste but have the sticks - but I hear from lots of people that the taste/breath issue is a sure sign of ketosis.

    Good Luck xxx

      It's ketosis breath. The only thing to do for it is drink lots of water and brush your teeth more often. Your urine might smell strong and sweet and your sweat might be rank for a few days, but it doesn't last long. It all settles down after a few days.
      People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

        Thanks so much. I was doubtful but you guys are right. I have been sweating so much, i feel smelly, my breath is awful. My BF said i have a metalic bitter taste ..hehe!.

        Im drinking water and hopefully it goes away soon. I guess since i have not cheated at all ...its really a strong jumpstart for my body. Its weird i didnt have the book last time i was on ATKINS..therefore...i didnt get the ketosis breath...i might have cheated unconsciously...i did loose weight though!..

        Then again...i have to lose the pounds i gained...so I have to do this!

          In the early stages of ketosis I SWEAR I can feel the mitochondria in the large muscles ramping up the activity! I get 'hot tingles' especially in my upper thighs. Your metabolism is changing over... it's all gravy from here, enjoy!

              So, is it normal for this taste to last more than 3 days? I'm on day.. 7? 8? of induction and I started to get the taste immediately and it's still going strong. Like Claudiabi, I don't remember having it the first time I did Atkins, either. Thanks!

                Yes, it is normal. After a while you just get more used to it.

                  i have a mild weird taste, mostly noticable in the mornings, but i've noticed that eating jicama makes it much worse. its bizarre! i love jicama, but if i eat it then drink water, i have a hoorrible bitter nasty taste in my mouth.
