Woke up with the smell

[Mutantmom]

of Ketosis all around...AGAIN. I recall this before, I recall it lasting much longer than it did this time around, but I do not remember it returning once it had faded away.

I am drinking 96oz of water daily, I am eating super clean, I wash, this smell has come back like a bad rash...any suggestions?

Well if nothing else at least it means you are in ketosis, which is a good thing

Is it the breath or the body odour that is worrying you?

Honestly it is both (including my pee) it is coming out of every inch of me...not nice at all...I didn't realize it could come back...the only real difference is that I added the lettuce...bad...really bad...

Liv - sending stinky ketosis smell to your neighborhood...don't run when you smell it.


I did jump on the scale this AM thinking it would translate into a lower number, but no change since yesterday (I'm perfectly fine with that).

Re: Woke up with the smell

That's odd...that happened to me the other day (am also in OWL#1). Not the smell, but a slight feeling of Atkins flu. I checked and was the deepest ketosis I had ever been. DARK DARK purple. I had properly hydrated all day so it wasn't that....i figure that since i mainly eyeball my carbs (and I tend to round up) I had eaten less than usual. A big old plate of asparagus did the trick and made me feel better (but ha! you wanna talk about stinky pee? Ooooh weeee!!!)
Do you feel flu-ish or is it just the smell?

Re: Woke up with the smell

actually body oder isn't ketosis caused nor is stinky breath.

Your ketones in your pee and your breath are the same waste ketones acetone and in pee some spilling of the ketone bodies used for energy production that are in excess amounts in your blood strem when you color a pee stix.

Body oder is caused by bacteria on your skin eating and pooping the proteins and oils certain sweat glands are making and secreteing.

Some times food oils called volitile oils like the oder in garlic and onions can be excreeted from pours too giving off the oder they did as in the foods.

No flu symptoms, I feel great, lots of energy, sleeping ok, just the stinky pee and general body...nothing except adding lettuce has changed in my diet. This is odd, it has been with me all day, I've already pushed an extra 32 ounces of water...can't wait to get home and bathe!

This is definately associated with Atkins, no doubt about it, I never smell like this other than when on induction and ususally only the 4th-9th day . I'm not even sure what to say to your post.

Re: Woke up with the smell

there is a difference in associating a body condition with the type of atkins eating one is doing and ketosis they are not the same.
as for example Carne! just posted about eating asperagus as part of her atkins eating and the stinkie pee resulting from it. that is not atkins eating caused but her body's manner of processing asperagus chemicals. Some folk can eat it and have no stinkie pee while many other will have stinkie pee whether high or low carbing while they eat it.

interesting tidbit...everyone gets the stinky pee, but some people lack the ability to smell it! I think this is the only thing I remember from AP Science class in HS.

Well, I guess my body does not like lettuce, though I was not eating lettuce between the 4th-9th day of induction...I will just blame it on ketosis, it is just easier.

According to 2big4mysize this does not mean that I'm in ketosis at all...I tend to agree that it does, but there are just so many differnt views on this board, one does not know what to think

actually there are both.

some can't smell it based on an israel study of smelling the pee of those folk in the study who said they didn't have stinky pee

and some don't produce it based on Allison and McWhirter 1956 study. obviously those guys could smell it or everybody would have been labeled nonstinky.
