Tongue irregularities

[Zenvuk]

Hi,

Ive just started the Atkins Nutritional Approach and despite feeling a renewed sense of vitality and energy, and turning ketostix a dark pink colour, I have noticed my tongue becoming extremely sensitive to salty and spicy foods. It also seems there are two splits in my toungue.

Is this normal? Have i done something wrong? I am currently in day 10 of induction.

Many thanks,
Drew

Hmm. Odd. Im not sure about that one. Im sure someone will give you an answer to that. But what popped into my mind was, drink more water. hope that helps!

I can agree with things tasting salty. It seems that everything that I have tasted has too much salt in it!!!! I think it is has something to do with detoxing from sugar, and starches. Now about the splitting inthe tongue...call your doctor.

I personally notice everything through my tongue - if I need more water I can feel a pulsating and everything is salty - I would up the water and see if that helps - it can't hurt!
