Sweat

[london19]

Hey there everyone.
Weird question, but I have to ask because I'm not sure if it's just because of the warmer/humid weather or if it's an Atkins thing.

I'm on my 6th day of induction. And I've noticed that I'm sweating more than I used to. And not only that, but even with deodorant I still detect hints of body odor. Is this a side effect of being in ketosis? Or should I just try using strong anti-perspirant and wearing lighter clothes?

Best wishes,
London

It could be the weather...

While ketones are excreted in sweat and the odor could be different, it should not be offensive. Offensive odors are caused by bacteria breaking down sebum.

Eating things like garlic, onion or curry can also cause a change in body odor.
