That shows it may take more than one meal or even one day of eating off plan to throw one out of ketosis

Count me among the "metallic mouth" contingent, but only the first time in 2003. The second time, in 2008, I lost much more slowly, and didn't have any symptoms of ketosis.

My daughter told me what to use and it worked....Smart Mouth!
You can find it at Walgreens with all the mouthwash. Let me tell you I tried everything and this is the winner. It was God sent if you know what I mean. hahaha

I remember now, Dr. Atkins said in his book(s) "chew on parsley."

Parsley is also LC and healthy. http://www.indepthinfo.com/parsley/health.shtml

The first time I ever tried Atkins I noticed a sweet kinda weird taste whenever I drank anything

when I'm eating really clean and am in ketosis, water tastes like it's been sweetened to me. that's how I know I'm in fat burning mode. Lot's and lots of water help to get rid of any weird smell in my urine...

The longer you are in ketosis, the better your body gets at using ketones for fuel. So you may excrete less, or none at all in your breath/urine/sweat. So if the keto breath goes away, don't panic!
