glimmer Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I am wondering if this is common or if I am just lucky but I smell bad doing this! I feel like my sweat smells of meat and fat and its kinda gross. Please tell me this is a phase and will pass..I am on day 5 and only noticed this joy today. Link to comment
AmyS Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 And y'all are havin' a heat wave over there, too, right? I didn't have that, I had the opposite - I started to think everyone else was stinky. Here's hoping that it's just your increased sense of smell, combined with wicked high temps. Keep cool! Link to comment
glimmer Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Yeah heat wave, plus I ate a whole lotta lamb last night and today. Hope it passes soon. Link to comment
Megan Claydon Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 the longer you go eating clean....the better you start smelling. promise Link to comment
Carlaccini Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Haha the stinky issues. I have this problem early on a whole 30 with fish. I smell totally of fish for at least 24hrs after consuming it. I am not a fan of this..... but I have accepted it an knows it to shall pass. Link to comment
TrayS Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I had the same issue Days 5-6, I am hoping it was just temporary, seems to have gone away.... Link to comment
Ravinamster Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ive always been a kind of stinky lady at least in my opinion. No excepetion with this paleo eating in fact its a bit exacerbated. Im hoping im just detoxing and after a few weeks it will abate. Anyone had the experience of being stinky and it going away? Link to comment
Flynn Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 You are what you eat is kind of true, the body deals with what it's given...if you eat a lot of meat and fat one day your sweat will probably smell a little bit like meat and fat. Garlic and onions can really come out in the sweat. I used to work with a guy who did the atkins diet everyday...he smelled like hot dog water. Link to comment
Lovely Leti Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 LOL about the Hot Dog Water guy! Glad to know its not just me, I did notice that on Day 7 when I peeled my workout cloths off I could not believe how bad I smelled, never jumped in the shower so fast. LOL Link to comment
Kim Christensen Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Are you eating enough carbs? Going into ketosis from continual low carb will make you stink to high heaven. Link to comment
Rojo Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 What Kim said. When I tried this out a couple of times before, I really laid heavy on the fats and meat and I smelled quite a bit more. I have also heard that stress can make us smelly too. But for me, I think it was not eating enough healthy, plant-based carbs. I have not had this problem this time around. Link to comment
Rojo Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Oh! And hormones...it seems not matter what I do at certain times of the month, I stink. Hopefully I will get a bit more hormonal balance eating paleo. Link to comment
Putzel Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yeah heat wave, plus I ate a whole lotta lamb last night and today. Hope it passes soon. I ate a whole lot of lamb too, but I was smelling before that. I'm hoping the smell is because I don't typically eat meat. Link to comment
thegoldengrahamgirl Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Are you eating enough carbs? Going into ketosis from continual low carb will make you stink to high heaven. So being "fat-adapted" on Whole30 is NOT the same as ketosis? I clearly need to read more. Oh! And hormones...it seems not matter what I do at certain times of the month, I stink. Hopefully I will get a bit more hormonal balance eating paleo. Haha - probably TMI, but this IS the Ladies-only area: when I was breastfeeding my sweat smelled like damn MAPLE SYRUP. Sweaty maple syrup. It was the oddest thing. And I wasn't taking tons of lactation supplements (which supposedly impart a maple-y smell). Oh, lady hormones. I was hoping this Whole30 was going to kickstart Aunt Flo but no such luck and back to BCP now. :-( Link to comment
jmcbn Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 So being "fat-adapted" on Whole30 is NOT the same as ketosis? I clearly need to read more. Your question on fat adaption was answered >here<.... Link to comment
thegoldengrahamgirl Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Thanks jmcbn - I had only seen your initial response and missed the follow-ups (including ketosis vs. fat-adapated). Helpful info! Thanks! -Lauren (GGG) Link to comment
katie_g Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Ive noticed on day 5 my feet smell so bad that when I sit down at work I can smell them Link to comment
Karen Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I've heard supplementing with zinc helps smelly feet. No idea if it's true but figured I'd pass it along! Link to comment
AES4355 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Thanks god katie_g mentionned feet. I was feeling a little crazy. Link to comment
katie_g Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Day 8...normal odor lol Link to comment
MrsApril28 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I work out 3-5 times a week. 3 of those are a Zumba class so I get pretty sweaty. I noticed my sweat didn't stink as bad. As the month went on it stunk less and less than it did before. I was very happy I didn't stink so bad!!! Link to comment
