I get a sweet taste in my mouth, and I'm not talking about when I eat fruit or have the occasional sweetner. Someone told me that it happens when you are in ketosis... is this true? Why does it do that? Does anyone else experience the same?

It sounds like ketosis. Some people get a sweet taste. Others are not so lucky and get a raunchy taste and raunchy breath. It's the extra ketones being released from your body.

I fasted for 6 days a few weeks ago. I felt SO good, so clear headed, not hungry. I was really in Ketosis, more than ever before. And my mouth was so sweet, really really sweet. Then when I tasted my old favorite wine, it was horribly sweet. Even the driest wines taste sweet. So there's nothing wrong with you, I think the sweet-mouth ketosis is what we are supposed to be after!

Wow!! I am glad to read that! I get that same sweet taste, and I thought that the ketosis made nasty breath, which I think I had a couple days, but moreso this odd sweet, I notice it more during the night, like if I get up to pee, (which is also way more frequent than before).

I'm glad to hear it's from ketosis.

Ok!! Tha'ts all!! I did buy trident gum & tictacs just in case, (and ,yes, counting the carb in my gum).

I got it mostly in the evening, too!
Glad to know it was ketosis and not going crazy... imagining tongue turning into a sweet and tring to eat it... hahahaha!

Odd Sock- That's too funny!! I would be the one to do it too, I am on day 9, and I am still truly missing my old friends, the carbs. Or maybe they are the enemy?? Anyhow, I miss them really bad. Some moments are worse than others, but my craving is not at all gone.

I just had to comment at your funny post!

WOW, just browsing and found this about sweet mouth. I have done adkins for 1 year. I had the bad breath , nasty mouth, for almost the entire year. THEN, I quit smoking and the nasty stinking changed to a sweet taste, and yes especially at night to go to the bathroom. I thought I had lost the ketosis, but now i don't think so.
