Serious question - water

[Sue9]

I'm finding this hard to explain but my mouth feels slimy sort of through drinking all of the water. Has anyone else got this or just me

my mouth tastes horrible- but I can't describe the taste

im on day 4


even my teeth feel slimy

this is a serious post by the way, I'm not weird lol

It's probably not due to the water, as water should rinse all the slimy feeling away. You should get some mouthwash - apparently, Oraldine or Listerene (both the original flavours only) should be used with this diet.

Try crushing up some fresh mint leaves, adding it to water and rinse your mouth out with this.

You should definitely drink no mor than 4 litres (7 pints) of water a day and try to take it throughout the day rather than a litre at a time.

If you are on day 4 the taste in your mouth is due to the transition into ketosis.


As Markos has said mouth wash can help as well as drinking your water through out the day as it keeps your mouth from getting dry.
