I have noticed since my surgery that I had to find stronger deodorant. Has anyone else noticed their body odor is stronger??

I did during my rapid loss phase, but I don't know if it really was worse or if I was just more sensitive to smells. Lots of smells seemed stronger to me.

Ketosis is what is going on. Toxins are leaving your body. You may have a metal taste in your mouth, bad breath and body odor all at the same time. DAVE

I'm almost 2 years out and noticed in the past 3 months or so, I've had body odor and excessive sweating under my arms. It got to bad I went to mens deodorant and that still didn't work. I went to the doctor and he prescribed prescription strength deodorant. It works, but it burns and makes my under arms break out.

I'm pre-op and I've been wondering what was going on too. I thought it was because I switched deodorant, but went back to my previous deodorant, and I still have a stronger under arm odor. I've been drinking two protein shakes a day and eating more high protein and low carb. I didn't know that ketosis would do this. I was beginning to wonder if something was wrong with me.

Thanks for bringing this up and thanks for the info!

Welcome to the Stinky world of Ketosis.. It will pass, and you will notice your sweet smelling self again.. This is just one of the bumps on the road to healthy.. Good luck!!
