Bad smell


#1

Hi all. I’ve been doing Keto for about 4 months and lost 20 lbs in the first 2 months, and none since then (now 210, 6’, 43-yo male). But my wife complains that I smell “bad” – bad breath, but also on the skin – she thinks it’s all the bacon and other meat. Has anyone else had that experience, or am I doing something wrong?

We have been keto since September, so about 5 months, and YES. My husband smells awful. Breath, skin, everything. It doesn’t smell like acetone, so I am not sure if it is ketones or what, but it is definitely noticeable, and he doesn’t smell like him at all. That said, it seems to be getting better. Maybe he is getting keto adapted?

Strangely, he doesn’t notice anything off about my smell, even though we are doing all the same things and often fast at the same time.
