Start losing weight, and a metallic taste in your mouth when you wake up? Are there better signals?

metallic taste can't be a good sign?

The metallic taste signifies that your body has entered ketosis. There isnt anything bad about it.

I think it just has to do with the different electrolyte balance the body maintains while in ketosis.

I don't know. I had just been relying on what I've heard about timing.

The taste thing is interesting. I'll pay more attention to that. There's a taste difference I've noticed with dry fasting that might be the same thing.

Its the most noticeable when you wake up. I think it is different for each person, but the more you trigger your body, the easier it will be able to go into that state.
