Hi there, I'm new here, but I've been on Atkins four months and have lost 25 pounds. I love it. I'm 62 years old, but I have tons of energy, am exercising, no cravings, and my figure has trimmed down so much my DH is afraid I've got a new boyfriend! ;-)
My only complaint is that I have a bad taste in my mouth, my tongue feels hot and dry, and I think I have bad breath. I keep my carbs at under 22 so I might be in ketosis, but yuck, I don't like this feeling in my mouth.
Have you ever had this? Any suggestions?

I think I've solved my problem. I drink three cups of decaf coffee a day. I'm going to leave those off and see if my mouth doesn't get more comfortable. Gosh, it seems obvious, now that I think about it. Live and learn! We'll see if it works

So, what happened? I'd love to know if the decaf was the cause of your problem.

Thanks, Dubhbas. I cut the size of my coffee drink in half and quit making it so hot and my mouth feels better. It bothers me that I can't really chew a breath mint before I meet people. I don't want to yuck them out with my breath. I got some spray breath freshener and that makes it a little better.
What's your story? I see that you're the moderator. You're doing a good job.
