Sweet taste?

[Phetamine]

After my workouts lately I get this super sweet taste in my mouth for hours after training no matter how much water I drink. Any ideas what would cause this?

How long has that symptom persisted?

For about 2 weeks only after workouts for about 3-4 hours

Are you on a low-carb diet? People on the Atkins diet can suffer from “sweet breath” or bad breath. If you do not eat a sufficient amount of carbs, your body begins to burn fat. Which is why that diet is popular for those that want to lose weight. When your body begins to burn fat, the formation of ketone bodies can occur and this can cause sweet breath.

lol what is your total carb intake in grams?

150 - 200 grams per day, sound ok or should I change that?

That's what I kinda envisioned based on your percentage given. That's really not low enough to be the cause of the weird taste in your mouth.

The only other thing I can think of is that the sweet taste has something to do with your insulin levels.
