Metal Mouth

I posted this on reddit but havent received any responses yet. To those of you who have experienced this while your body was in ketosis, how pronounced was the taste? I am not sure if I am actually tasting it or if my mind is telling myself I am cause I want to be in ketosis lol Were there any other tell-tale symptoms to see if you are? Ive purchased ketostix and have gotten a range of colors. But I have increased my water intake, so I know that can dilute those results.

Ketosis is a positive or negative, having darker colors only means you need to drink more. I did notice a metal taste my first week (last week), on my second week (this week) I don't notice it as much. The taste got better if I drank more water. Other things I noticed.. well the smell of urine was a bit stronger, and there were a few tiny bubbles. It wasn't that strong though, one day when I was working out really hard I noticed my sweat smelled different, haven't had that again since.I checked this morning and I am in ketosis still.
I bought mouth wash, it helped with the taste, also sugar free gum helped. However, like I said, this week I haven't noticed a metal taste. The 'smells' were not that of the horror stories I read about, or even bad at all, barely noticeable to me. I suppose it has to do with how much water you drink as well.0 -
Thanks chicka! I might have a slight metal taste, but I havent noticed anything else really change. But I do have more energy so I guess I must be doing something right! lol0
