this is odd, but I've noticed it for a couple days...After doing an extremely hard core workout (P90X) I'm left with a sweet taste in my mouth...

any thoughts on why? It's not really bothering me...just odd

    Do a search on "ketoacidosis". It can happen when you exercise a lot and are taking in low carb and high protein foods. It happened to my mom when she did the Atkins diet. You can get these test strips at the pharmacy that test your urine (sorry, I know) and tell you if you are in ketoacidosis. It can also happen if your blood sugar is out of whack. I have diabetes and it has happened to me before.

    I agree.

    ok that makes sense...I am not doing low carb, but quite frequently I am at like 300 cals then doing a workout burning 900 putting me way negative...I will try having more cals before workout and eating a more balanced post snack/meal (not just a protien shake)
