Metallic taste

[clairyb]

Has anyone else experienced a metallic taste in your mouth doing the milk diet? I have the strangest taste....gawd knows what my breath smells like!!

 

[snack]

Yep quiet normal it means your in ketosis ( liver shrinking mode ) xx

It gets worse, horrible furry tongue to accompany the metallic taste and bad breath ... Then constipation! But it's not for long and it means the body is hopefully losing weight and the liver is shrinking. Think positive xxx

High protein diets cause a metallic taste in your mouth. It can also be an indicator of poor kidney function, if your not having enough fluids. If your worried you can buy ketosticks from a chemist to test your urine.

 

[Paula Garner]

It also indicates that your using all the glycogen stored in your liver for energy. So if your on your pre op diet, it's an indicator that it's working

When i first started experiencing the metallic taste, i panicked as i thought i was pregnant!! not that being pregnant is such a bad thing but ive put in so much into this process. A trip down Tescos and my local hospital put me back at ease
