Googled:
atkins salty saliva
Yields a lot of info.0 -
thanks bakkasan,
i can't believe i didn't think of google. i found a post which matched my sea water tastebuds exactly, and a reply which said that perhaps i was tasting my saliva for the first time without sugar obliterating its essence.

That is so interesting...thanks for not googeling it! I would of missed this
My big thing is my old tried and try veg soup is way too sweet now. I now see why cabbage is used in soup. The onions are so sweet! Even the zucchini! So I will try cutting down on onions and try a bit of cabbage. I never could eat it before cause it was too bitter. Now I bet that has changed:)0 -
Interesting, I have a simmilar kind of effect since I started Atkins about 2.5 weeks ago. when I wake up in the morning my entire mouth tastes very salty. I also experience it through out the day that everything inside my mouth is just much more saltier tasting then usual. Is it the ketosis perhaps?0

spoox, i don't know, i've been up and down the ketosis scale [testing with the test strips,] and i still have the salty taste. maybe we're just different, in a good way. no 'sour apple' or sweet taste at all. rusty0
