Changes in body odour?

(Christine) #1

I’ve been keto for two weeks now and I notice a definite difference in my body odour, it’s stronger :frowning: Has anyone else experienced this? I was expecting the bad breath, but not a fan of the BO!!

Thanks,
Christine

Body odor

A coworker who started keto 2 weeks ago asked me if my urine smell got stronger. Maybe it’s just our bodies becoming more in tune with our environment?

Yes! I know for the first few weeks on keto my husband and I both stank. Breath, urine, and body odor were foul. It didn’t last long though, so just power through it with copious amounts of clinical strength deodorant.

Yep! It took months for my body to stop secreting whatever it was secreting (acetone?). Breath, urine and sweat were all pretty vile. But it did go away. For me, “eventually” seemed to take on new meaning.

If I’m REALLY in deep Ketosis, a Tiny, Teensy Weensie Buffalo sleeps in my mouth overnight.

A smelly one.

I can’t seem to catch him, but I can tell/smell when he’s been in there, oh yeah.

On the other hand, after shedding 160+ pounds of blubber, I use VERY LITTLE underarm deodorant.

Just don’t need it very often, even in hottt weather.

So.
