Ugh. I'm almost at the 1 week point of the plan, and my mouth tastes horrible today!! Is this that bad breath thing you're all talking about? I really don't want to chew gum or suck on mints all day because I can't have the ones with aspartame (they make my throat itch). Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Welcome to ketosis !!!

You should be losing everyday ! While certainly not the nicest taste, it is reassuring that the plan is working.

Great! Now I need to lose the cravings! :lol:

I'm sure it'll happen eventually. Good thing I haven't given in to any of them.

Is this why my breath is so "hot"?

You're in the club now!! :lol:

I rinse with water, brush 3x daily and use gum if necessary. It really bothers me, but my family say they haven't noticed. Maybe they're just trying to be kind!

My dear wife, a dental hygenist, left a "care pack" on the bathroom counter for me. Lysterine strips + liquid and about a dozen packs of sugar free gum. She's commented that my breath is bearable but not by much. I brush 3-4 times a day, sometimes more.

I was experiencing the sweet tasting one, and now it seems more like metallic.

Thank God someone else has the sweet one! I thought I was out of my mind. I don't have bad breath, just sweet saliva.

Wildtrk, you have the BEST POSTS EVER!

I switch between sweet and metallic, but in my mind, it's all good...in my mind it's my body saying, "yup, we're doing it, it's okay!"

I brush 3-4x per day too and I'm not using the listerine strips so much I should buy stock in the company!

You'll get rid of the cravings soon, you're firmly in ketosisland now...next stop...thinsville and then...healthytown!

Sweet here too.

I thought it was just aftertaste from the sweetener in the oatmeal though?
