Is It Ketosis Yet?

Hi Everyone, I am on my forth day of a induction, and all of a sudden today, In the middle of the day mind you, my mouth got god awful dry,and i have this yucky taste in my mouth. I seem to be getting that metal taste in my mouth, that I thought I had heard of. And my tounge just feels funny. It seems even though I drink loads of water, the feeling doesnt go away. I thought I heard that this was a symptom of ketosis, but wanted to make sure. I have ruled out the deyhydrated theroy, because I drink around 170 ounces of water a day, which I think is more than enough. I have lost 10 pounds in 4 days and have never felt better, no fatigue, or cravings, I couldnt be happier.

I have read The 2002 edtion of the book a few times, and I guess I missed it. Just wondering if all these symptoms are indeed my body kicking itself into ketosis?

Yes it sounds like some ketones are escaping there. Good for you. Just drink lots, brush your teeth often, carry some parley in your pocket
