Being new to this Low Carb diet, which is working superbly for dropping weight along with a couple of hours of aerobic Mountain Biking 3 or 4 times a week, 12 kilos gone since 1st March, however since my Type 2 diagnosis 2 weeks ago I have further dropped by daily carbs and increased protein. Fingers crossed it gets me below the magic 39 figure by August when my 3 monthly blood test is due.
I have noticed over the last 4 days that my lips have a salty taste like you might get from a brisk walk on a wild windswept beach, I have also noticed it when I lick my hands, not that I make a habit of doing this. Is this normal and to be expected or should I be concerned?
I do not add salt to anything, drink plenty of water, take no medication and shower after Mountain Biking so it isn't sweat help please!
