The taste you describe is typical of ketosis; somtimes described as a
"metallic" taste.

BTW, why are you on an extreme low-carb/low-calorie weight loss diet if your
goal is to gain weight?

Both of my parents are borderline diabetics. My cholesterol on a
"normal" diet was 450 (79HDL, 350LDL). On a mostly vege diet, it was
250 (81HDL, 161LDL). My weight is under 120 lb. Hoping low-carb will
allow me to consume more calories / build muscle without high
cholesterol.

Why do you want to consume more calories?

FY, my cholesterol dropped from 232 to 188 on low-carb, so there's
definitely hope that it will happen.
