I have no idea where to post this or how to title it!
The last 3 days I have had a strange sweet taste i my mouth, sweet alcohol is the best I can describe it as. If I lick my lips i can taste something akin to artificial swetener aftertaste. My breath also smells chemically, not unpleasant but like the nail products I used to use as a nail tech but not acetone. Also had a banging headache but thats now easing.
I've googled these symptoms and they come up with diabetes and ketosis.No other diabetic symptoms so I really dont think its that but I can't see it being ketosis either. My calories have been low the last few days (around 750) and so have my carbs (60-81) with the majority of them coming from vegetables but I thought they had to be much much lower for ketosis to hit.
Basically I'm asking do I need to worry about this, could it be mild ketosis on carbs of that level? I'm not trying for that...just my diet has worked out to be protein rich this last week
