From Chalky Taste in Mouth : It isn't uncommon to go on a low-carb diet to lose those extra pounds. Many tend to consume high proteins and eliminate their carb intake completely. This is done because in the absence of carbohydrates, the body switches to burning fat. This phenomenon is called ketosis. During ketosis, a chemical called 'ketones' is formed, which releases a byproduct called 'acetone'. When your body burns fat, acetone is released through your breath, thereby causing bad breath and chalky taste in the mouth.

Like a veil thrown over the skin to secure its modesty, the screen partially removes from the mind the inner states of the body, those that constitute the flow of life as it wanders in the journey of each day.”
