Re: I just had a gross epiphany
Gross but so affirming that all is well with Atkins. I hadn't been in ketosis for a while, so recently when I went back to basics to get into ketosis, I got an unfriendly reminder. I remembered the urine smell, so that just let me know that it was working, but I didn't remember how bad/funky my night sweat smelled. I usually wear the same night shirt for several nights before getting a fresh one. I shower right before bed and get into a clean bed, so how dirty could it get in 8 hours? Two nights running, I try to put back on the night shirt I wore the night before and the smell about knocked me down. I had to put on a fresh one every night for over a week until it settled down.People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

Re: I just had a gross epiphany

Re: I just had a gross epiphany
Ohhh yeah, the pee, the sweat, the breath. I hate it, but I love it at the same time because I know I'm doing well
I just learn to keep my arms down, my mouth closed and to breathe through my mouth when I pee!Steph - Age: 24 yrs - Height: 5'4" - Original Weight: 170 lbs - Current Weight: 155 lbs - Goal Weight: 120 lbs - STAC

I don't care how disgusting ketosis breath, sweat or pee is, it's not as disgusting as rolls of fat I see in the mirror when my breath is carbohydrate fresh!People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

Re: I just had a gross epiphany
When I'd done Atkins in the past, I never bothered to really understand the ketosis process. I just skimmed over those parts of the book...
It seems like my urine smells strongly this time, since I eliminated artificial sweeteners and limit preservatives in cured meats. I can't afford to buy Ketone sticks, so this will be my informal measurement for induction and beyond! I'm going to have to investigate more about Ketones now!

Re: I just had a gross epiphany
Ketostix aren't worth the price in my opinion anyways. Not sure what they are in different areas and such, but here they run around $15 for a bottle of 50 strips. When I was using them sometimes they wouldn't change color, which I knew was wrong, especially because I could DEFINITELY smell it in my urine and while I was working out. I am a big sweaty mess when I work out to begin with, but ketosis makes me even more unpleasant to be around...but I don't give a crap. As long as that smell is around I'm happy cause it means the fat is burning...even if sometimes I am not seeing it in the scale (stupid mechanical bastard!)
