For bodily functions to smell so offensive?

So, early out, your body is in a state of ketosis. Do a search on this site and Google for Ketosis. Basically, your body secretes acetones (yup, the stuff you can use to remove nail polish) which is just nasty. Your sweat, mouth ... everything ... just nasty. This will continue until you can get your carbs back up to a reasonable level which is different for every person and their activity level.

Your whole endocrine has been altered as well. As you may have heard, there are hormones stored in fat and these are now being liquidated into your system. From what I have read in the powder Room, this can be attributed to being bitchy and having a funky smelling whoo haw.

But for the other side of things is the change in foods we are eating now and how the motility has been altered. You have changed the game intestinally. How often are you going #2 now compared to before? How long is food sitting in your intestines fermenting and doing the stuff that it does compared to before?

I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, so if it is a real concern, you should contact your PCP as it may be a sign of something else.

When I I'm ketosis... Years ago following Protein Power Diet I could taste that terrible metallic taste in the back of my throat... Haven't had that yet, but I don't do as low carbs as I used to... I kept them below 20...now I hang between 30-50

Yeah, my wife would look at me with wild eyes. "Oye, when are you going to get out of ketosis?!!"

Everything you eat tastes like $#!7. Even after brushing my teeth, it was like, "Oye! My mouth is gross!"

Even your sweat smells ... used to shower twice a day.

It will pass
