For dealing with the taste in your mouth, I would advise drinking more
water. While bodybuilding, I do notice that I get out of breath a bit
quicker compared to when I ate a lot of complex carbs. Franco Columbu
recommends eating fruit right before and during (e.g. grapes) while eating a
low carb diet (such as before a contest). If you aren't experiencing any
degradation, it could be because you are training with high intensity and
not doing 2+ hour marathon workouts. Your diet shouldn't affect an
individual to-failure set (particularly early on in your workout), but it
might wear you out quicker since you are new to this way of eating.
