In regards to the odd taste in your mouth,  you may also notice it seeps
from your sweat glands.  I have noticed in me as well and have started
taking 1 tablspoon of liquid chlorophyl added to a glass of water.  it
took about 3 days and no more keto breath or sweat oder.  I had this same
experience when I did atkins last year.
