I am on day 8... just wondering when the bad taste in my mouth will go away! Also bathroom issues... when will that all go away??? (I have to stay close to a washroom or I would be in trouble!)

    For the bad taste in your mouth - it's totally individual but it usually clears in a few days.

    The bathroom issues - are you eating lots of coconut/mct oil/etc? If you are, you can decrease your fats and these issues will usually clear up. You can eat more protein to make up for the calories in the fat.

    I have cut down on the MCT oil I thought that might be the reason. I will cut back more. Thank you!

    I put a little more than a tablespoon in my black coffee. So far the only bathroom issue for me is not going.

    The funny taste comes and goes but I like it because that's how I know when I am in Ketosis.

    You don’t actually need MCT at all outside of requiring higher ketones for some therapeutic reason. Using it will actually interfere with using your own body fat.
