Funny taste in my mouth with the Atkins Diet?

Question

I started again on Suday...all day Sunday and Monday I had the typical funny taste in my mouth but then on Tuesday it was gone. I didn't cheat so I don't understand why it's gone?

Answer 1

It is the taste of not eating all those heavy carbs!!! You get used to it fast then it isn't noticible.

Don't consider an occasional cheat as real cheating. No one could stay on Atkins without occasionally "treating" but do it with this in mind. Only 2 or 3 teaspoon fulls of ice cream or 2 inch square of chocolate cake!!!

As a diabetic I am forced to eat this way by trying to keep the glucose in tight control. Endo said to never totally deny yourself or you would go whole hog over the limit and do enormous damage!!!

So when you get off the stage 1, plan in one treat per week after that. It will taste too sweet and you won't want much.

Also go running, biking or hiking for an hour every day if possible!!! Cheap exercise and good for bod and weight loss.

Much luck sticking to it this time!!! I have faith you can do this.

Answer 2

Sounds much like something I had, grew to become out to be a dodgy tooth, and the style was the poison within the swollen subject, was so igsignificant in the beginning I not ever seen the illness or the swelling but I disregarded it and the end result was once a tooth out...

Answer 3

this taste was from the ketones released as you limited yor carbohydrate intake. As your intake of water increases this taste will go away.
