Dianne38 81 Posted December 26, 2012 Im noticing a strange body odor. I dont stink but I dont smell fresh eitger. Im not a sweater and even sweating from workouts dont have this scent. I take a bath, use my normal body wash, put my deodarant on and 3 hours later I have this "havent showered today scent" is this an issue due to surgery?

kczar 166 Posted December 26, 2012 You're probably in ketosis, which it's a good thing. It means your body is in major weight loss mode. 1 PdxMan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilbearzmom 584 Posted December 26, 2012 I agree. My breath unfortunately smells bad. I'm constantly brushing my teeth like it helps. LOL It's an unfortunate side effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pookeyism 1,143 Posted December 26, 2012 OMG, I got so self-consious over this once that I stopped allowing my hubby to do laundry - I was convinced he was using the wrong cycle or something and my warehouse sweat wasn't coming off...but it isn't quite like that, it's just, off - like if I were a room I need to open a window more, kinda-sorta... 1 Dianne38 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
