Stinking while loosing fat?

tomsarno

Has anyone noticed an increase in body odor while loosing fat? A slight bit of sweat makes me stink worse then ever. I have to shower two to three times a day to keep the stink to an almost exceptable level

I haven't noticed but my wife might just be being nice not saying anything.

It could be what you're eating? Certain foods can secrete scents out of your pores.

It could be what you're eating.. garlic, onion can be smelled in sweat/on the skin. Are you doing low carb? being in ketosis makes you stink. bad. Not trying to offend any low carbers out there.. my hubs does it hardcore once a year and his breath smells like roadkill and he has an overall funk smell, not to mention attitude. Maybe he doesn't do it long enough to "get over" the smell and 'tude. I work in Vet med, and cattle that are ketotic stink as well, smell and attitude wise!

I eat very high protein the smell comes foe the sweat. Ammonia smell like old cat piss. Deodorant and body spray makes it smell like fancy old cat piss

Anything like nail polish remover? That's the smell that comes from a Ketogenic diet.

Not sure how much truth there is to this article:

There is another current thread on this topic. It is also on the first page.

Are you running? Make sure that you are getting enough carbs and are not consuming too much protein.

it's the high protein intake.

Another vote for excess protein/nitrogen.

When I ate too much protein, I got the urine smell.

Not that I endorse this, but here's a link with a possible explanation:

I am on a high fiber diet, which causes lots of farts. Anybody want to pull my finger?

I haven't had that issue...

arditarose

Wait...I eat high protein. Do I stink and not notice it?

I learned that my whey protein for shakes was causing flatulence. I guess it's the kind of protein and/or fiber. However, of course, my farts smell like roses.

Yeah, I've noticed this. I just figure the fat that I'd being burned is old fat.

Maybe you just fell asleep on the floor?

The only person I ever smelled that on was in kidney failure and secreting things from their pores that couldn't be excreted elsewhere. She was really out of it, but asked if that smell was her. She was dying, so we told her no, it was the person in the next bed. It's the last thing she said. After that, it was morphine, morphine, morphine and death. It was so sad, her worrying about the smell.

I never smelled ammonia on anyone else.

Smelling like pee isn't normal. Something's up. Might want to get that checked.

No, I've actually noticed I smell really sweet.
