Just curious if anyone know why I have this bad taste in my mouth since I have been dieting. I haven't been taking any supplements and I recently had my teeth cleaned. Even right after I brush and floss my mouth feels kind of slimy. Weird and disgusting! Just wondering if anyone had a clue? :ohwell:

    Are you eating a lot of low fat foods with olestra (SP?) I tried some of the chips with it in them and my mouth felt really weird

    No I can't tolerate a lot of "diet" foods, especially artifical sweetners and the olestra oil. I thought maybe it was a deficiency in something. Maybe I should make an appointment with my Dr. It always says to consult with your Dr beginning something like this. Seems ridiculous to ask my Dr if it is okay if I eat healthier and exercise daily :laugh:

    Are you drinking a lot more?.... maybe you were dehydrated before and now you're not... and you're just not used to feeling this way? Increased saliva production?

    My bet is your body is in ketosis...I had a similar experience in my weightloss. There are tests you can get to tell if it is infact in that state. If so, great, your in weightloss mode :)

    Do you use a teeth whitening mouth wash by chance?
    That does it to me!
