Many years ago, 2004 - 2008, I worked in the pizza industry. I started part time as a driver and ended up GM for Dominoās then GM with Papa Johns. I was always a hands-on manager so jumped in and worked with my teams whatever needed doing and it was actually quite fun, although damned hard work at times.
One of the draw backs was that I always smelt of pizza. It didnāt matter how often a bathed or changed my clothes, the constant hands-on the raw ingredients and finished products actually ingrained my body.
When I first started in the work I was the slimmest Iāve ever been in my life, and the fittest. 24ā waist and regular weights, cycling, walking. Over those years though, I put on a LOT of weight - not all due to the work, I had lots of stress in other areas of my life too, but practically living on that food really didnāt do me any good.
Now suddenly, just today, Iāve noticed I smell of pizza again just like I used to those years back. I havenāt even set foot in a pizza store let alone eaten anything like it
What I have done is step up my gym routine and started tracking again to also step up my level of ketosis to try and lose the last few stubborn pounds, so Iām wondering⦠could this be a sign that my body is actually burning through the fat stores that it hoarded back in the days of my pizza work??
