bad taste in my mouth

  • Hello all,
    I am back again,fell off the wagon for a few months but am determined to kick this thing in my big butt.I started back last week,lost 7 pounds since then and have decided to go low carb.
    Today is the second full day on low carb and I have an awful taste in my mouth,it feels like my tongue and throat are parched.Any other low carb viewers, is this normal?what does it mean?and what should I expect doing low carb?
  • I'm not a low-carber but I just wanted to say, welcome back.
  • I'm not a low carber either - but wanted to say welcome back and congrats on the 7lb loss! Keep it up!

    Love Amanda x
  • Welcome back! I would imagine it's ketosis. Here's some info:

  • I am low-carbing it too. That is completely normal. Brush your teeth more often & CHUG the water.
