Hi Gary!

The taste is a by-product of ketosis. Ketones are excreted wherever water leaves your body - urine, sweat and your mouth.

Upping your water intake should help. You should be drinking 64 oz. + 8 more ounces for every 25 pounds you want to lose.

I have a question for you. You say you are following Protein Power, but your profile says you have read Carb Addict. You can get lots of advice here, but it helps us to know which plan you have read and are following. They're all a little bit different.
