What is the metallic taste? I've experienced this before during fasting periods. Anyway to get rid of it without sugary fruit juice?
I personally don't mind taking fruit juice, as it does give a small energy boost, especially in the morning.
If you really goose your ketogenic metabolism, your body gets better at using ketones and the taste will go away. You should also be sure to eat/drink extra salt during a fast or ketogenic diet due to water loss.
