the taste in your mouth and bad breath are a sign that you are in Ketosis. As long as you are in ketosis the taste will be there. The more dehydrated you are the worse it will be, so drink plenty of fluids. Brushing your teeth and tongue with mouthwash helps...

I'm use to the 'flavor of Atkins' so I no longer use the .3 carb Tic Tacs that I use to suck on...
