    Stinky BO

    I have been wanting to ask if any one else has noticed a stinky form of BO since being in Ketosis? I have been on Atkins a few times with out this issue but definaltely have developed a horrid BO this time. I know it is bad because I can smell it every time I sweat.

    I use Secret (always have) and I am thinking about picking up a few different brands to try but I would only be covering it up.

    Does any one have any supplement ideas to help stop this?

    I wonder if it could be the green tea I am drinking? When I did Atkins in the past I wasn't drinking any tea......


    Thanks,

    Stinky AKA Julie

      Ummm, I'm a guy, so I hardly ever smell very good. Now if you wanted advice on how to smell worse, I'm your guy. Have a good evening at the movie.

        AlaskaGirl, I have noticed I definitely smell better (except the breath) since I started Atkins, so the BO problem is a puzzlement to me!

          Wow! I haven't had this problem at all...BUT, I don't play around with it either! I use men's deodorant/antiperspirant. I have used it for years. No fruity tuity girly protection for me...I can exert and sweat more than most of the men I work with. I use Right Guard. It's a clear stick, not the sticky gel, ugh! It works. Never have a problem.

            I only ever noticed it during induction while I was detoxing. A lot of nasty stuff is filtered out through the skin during the first couple of weeks. Be sure to drink plenty of extra water and shower after exercise, or I have read that you re-absorb some of the toxins as the sweat dries.

            After a while, I found the opposite to be true. I had less body odor and could get by with less deodorant. I do drink a lot of water--way more than I ever did before and I have always loved water.

              I am begining to think it might have to do with all the pickels I have been eating----- pickels and sourkrought. I was reading an article in the paper about pickels and sourkrought and I realize that I have 3-5 small pickels daily now and 1 cup of sourkrought a couple times a week.

              The article I did not read but skimmed it (I know I am bad) was saying there are many health benefits from these two food items. Has to do with the vinegar/acid and healthy digestion.....

              Anyway I believe now that I have to drop my pickle addiction at least cut back to a couple a week.

              I drink alot of water. I have been very diligent about it this time around.

              The water and the vegi carbs I have made mui importante. Setting my self up for success.

              Thanks for the input.

                I smell worse... I don't eat pickles, and this even happens when I don't drink green tea. I try to drink a ton of water, which helps out... It's still yucky after a long run or a hard kickboxing class though. Oh, I guess I should add, this is with various deodorants and stuff.

                  Thanks Lyssie. I am glad I am not the only one.

                  I am glad I am not the only one. I just dont get it. I never had this problem in all my previous Atkins attempts.

                  I will stop obsessing. The new deoderant worked pretty well yesterday. The stink was worse when I was super sweaty and as soon as I cooled off I couldn't smell it so much. It is making me a little insecure.

                  I will probably go to a health food store and speak with a specialist about finding a natural remedy. I heard that there are a couple of minerals that when your body is low can cause bad bo.
