Good morning,

About two days ago I started noticing a sort of sweet taste that lingers in the back/sides of my mouth. (I just started my second week on the program.)

I was just wondering if anyone else has had this same experience.

Who knew MF could be so SWEET?!?

Here's to another great day of shaking to us all

That's the sweet taste of success....

LAWoman - yep, I have it all the time. Thought it was just me; but there you have it. It's the medifast sweet success! HA! Pretty funny Unca!

But seriously, I had never read about it in any thread; so I just assumed it was my body's way of reacting to the MF product. Now that you mention the same thing - it may a common occurrence. Maybe Nancy has heard of this?

I think it's a by-product of ketosis. I'm hazy on the details, though.

24K, speaking of sweet successes, did everything go okay on Friday? I assume you told your current boss that you'd made up your mind to take the new job? Don't mean to pry-- just hope everything went well!

I also have that taste in my mouth all the time. I have some GOLIGHTLY mints that equal less than a calorie and I pop those every now and then.

Hi all you shakers~~
Not to burst anyones bubble.. but.... Just do a check of your blood sugar and simple pricky of the finger will be a way of knowing if your blood sugar is high. A sweet or fruity taste in the mouth is a sign of diabetes.
The odds are that isn't the case, but be safe. ketosis does some pretty odd things to the body and deliciously makes us all slim!!! A fruity taste could be on the signs.. but i'd rule out high blood sugar just to be safe..
keep shakin~
