I’ve never drunk diet sodas PK, but now I find that I need to taste something sweet daily.
My mouth tastes dry and dirty without… something.
I try to keep berries on hand, but sometimes I’m caught without any.
I’m disturbed by the diet soda habit.
HELLLP
Apparently, salt is the key to breaking sugar craving.
Ask a bunch of ex-smokers if they ever lose their taste for cigarettes. You’ll get a lot of different answers. Some lose their taste for it and would find tasting it again to be very offensive. But you will find others that may not have had a cigarette for 30 years that crave them every single day of their lives. (I knew such a person, he was a sort of stand-in for my grandfather.)
I doubt it’s that much different with sugar. But that’s just an opinion…
The salt is helping.
How could I have forgotten?
Dry mouths need the salt
Absolutely. I cannot stand sugary things now. If I even have a sip of my son’s apple juice, I wince! I do make some “sweet” desserts on occasion, but it’s really not that sweet from the little swerve I use.
Try to use mouthwash?
At least for some reason, I bought a mouthwash that tasted sweet… <_<
I have always had a sweet tooth, and any time someone said “that dessert is too sweet for me” I laughed at them. There was no such thing to me.
After 18 months Keto I can honestly say the hardcore cravings are gone. Do I miss traditional sugary treats? Sometimes. But I have realized something.
My sweet tooth is a bitch, and she is trying to kill me.
OK, now we’re going to have to create a “quotable quotes” thread somewhere for lines like this. 
Other thing… when I started I was using a ketoade daily… grape SF koolaid + salt + no salt.
Turned into a GNARLY addiction, PLUS bladder irritation. But without this habit, I’m forgetting my salt… any better Ketoade recipes?
I like to add salt to my water, with coconut oil and lemon. I use a around a half a lemon squeeze it and through it in the water(hot). I add around 1/2 teaspon of salt to 32 oz of water, and I will through a cube coconut oil in that. Sometimes I add MIO to sometimes I don’t I don’t react to the MIO. If I taste the salt its a little to strong, I drink some and add more water. I build the 2.5 carbs into my day every day. If I am feeling really good I add some soda stream water to it to give a fizzy bubbly effect. I add water all day long to the lemons.
LOVE THIS!
