[adavison]

Hey, adavison, I got your request. I looked on my phone after seeing your note and it wasn't there. Just logged into MFP on the computer and there you were!

Yay!

I guess I'm finally in ketosis. My mouth tastes like a goblin miner took a giant coppery shit in it.

I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that.... or I would have pre-nasal drip....

Thx - any suggestions to stop cravings late at night?? (Weak point) - Since this is my first week back, I feel a bit low on energy, so have only been doing intervals (walk/jog/sprints) and not much intense exercise like weights. Guess that is normal while your body adjust.

taking a cue from Demuralist, in the evenings I like hot tea with HWC and butter. Kills cravings. Of course so does a pickle

Same here. Maybe we could get the goblins from The Hobbit to star in the endorsements.

LOL.. I am in moderate ketosis and have not noticed the mouth. Of course, I am a listerine girl! LOL

I have been extra mindful and conscious of my breath... I can tell by the taste of my mouth that it's got to be attrocious! Last night during class was the worst! I developed cotton mouth and had nothing to drink... even *I* was offended by my breath... *sigh*

Get some L-glutamine powder and put up to a tsp under your tongue. Seriously. It tells your brain it is getting the glucose that it is craving.

"Due to its ability to cross the blood brain barrier,L-glutamine is a wonderful way of providing glutamic acid to the brain. Many people think that, like other amino acids, this provides more neurotransmitters to the brain, but this is not the case. Actually, L-glutamine provides the glutamic acid that the brain uses as fuel (the only other substance the brain uses for fuel is glucose). Glutamine can block cravings for alcohol as well as sugar. This key benefit can be used in individuals as a diet aid. Taking one capsule or one quarter teaspoonful of L-glutamine at the onset of sugar or alcohol cravings has been shown to deter these feelings. This may not work in all individuals, but the non-toxic nature of this harmless food additive and the many other benefits that can be derived from this supplement make it worth trying."

Will try to get some thx and have it before dinner :-)

Thx for the advice - what is HWC (love the pickle idea too) ? And how long does usually take to be in ketosis.
