i feel for you, i have the same problem.i`ve always drank a lot of water (3-4 litres per day, easy) but on my 5 day on atkins, i experienced the same problem, no matter how much i drank, within minutes i was very thirsty again and had a funny metallic taste in my mouth.would kill for orange juice to be honest.and i don`t eat much bacon either (i`ve had it maybe 3 times and i started the diet 10 days ago), so that can`t be the reason.my ketone strips are also very dark, which would suggest i could be dehydrated.i`m trying to drink a few cups of roibush tea (red tea), it`s low in tannine, no coffeine and is great for quenching thirst as it contains some electrolytes.maybe you could try that.
