Smelling bad while on low carb diet
« on: December 17, 2014, 01:18:45 PM »
Is it just me? Perma dragon's breath and armpits are putrid hours after a shower. Happens every time I'm cutting too much of the carbs.  :-\

ketone's f'in stink.
But not like I gotta worry as I can get decently lean on 300gr carbs per day. Ah the joys of not having to suffer like mere mortals is just grand...

Indeed, sugarfree gums are my best friend right now. Although, it seems like some people can go low carb without this problem. Genetics? Or lying about their diet?

Doesn't happen if extremely low carb is your lifestyle. If you do it just for a cut, then all the carb based toxins, that have built up in your body are released, and then you'll stink. Once they're gone, not a problem.
