Im getting a very metallic taste in my mouth - is that the taste everyone is talking about? And does that mean I'm actually in ketosis or is it just the result of low carb?

I can totally taste keto as well lol...I actually started keto the week of 4th of July holiday. It's amazingly easy to find keto friendly foods on vacations. In restaurants I find traditional hot wings, steak, chicken, salad w/ranch or Caesar. I happen to eat out often and have dropped 2 pants sizes since June 28th. All while continuing my lifestyle, after a while all my sweets and carb cravings diminished to 0, and I was a sugar addict to say the least.
Good Luck, keto has been an amazing ride with worthwhile benefits.

Thanks! Great tips on restaurant options! I'm so new to this and have never counted carbs before so while I'm pretty OK at estimating calories, I'm really bad at it with carbs. Like - obviously I know to avoid all grains and root vegetables, but I had no idea berries and tomatoes were so high carb! Our vaca is to the southern states and im looking forward to southern BBQ but I'm guessing all the sauces would be carb heavy no? Since they probably are tomato based and have a lot of sugar? How do you order your wings to avoid that problem?

Also my Keto related find that was SO exciting for me - whiskey is zero carb! That makes my fav diet coke and whiskey totally legal. SO happy about that!
