Forgot to ask.....

LOL
All these questions!

I drank a lot today (120 total but not all water) and there were times where my output (putting it politely) was smelly. My breath has been smelly too. And we won't even mention my DH breath - as he is going through his induction as well.
What causes the smell?
The last time my urine smelled this bad was when I ate a mess of asparagus...whooo lordy have mercy that was bad - but this is worse.

And.......one more question (and if you believe that....lol) It doesn't go away after brushing my teeth - what gives?

I haven't smelled my nasty breath in years - yuck

You're in Ketosis.

Those are the signs that your body is producing Ketetones.

Ketosis is the metabolic state that indicated you have switched your body from a carb burning, to fat burning machine.

You are now losing weight.

Stinky breath and Urine is a GREAT sign. Take some tooth paste with you in your hand bag and enjoy the loss.

Re: Forgot to ask.....

I guess the question is, does that smell go away or is it part of the program?

Re: Forgot to ask.....

Sometimes it's worse than others... When I got to the dairy phase I thought the yogurt helped... as does parsley... and brushing frequently... unfortunately breath mints are a no no.
