Body Odor - Who Knew??

Jul 14, 2009

Today is day two of my fully liquid diet and - for the record - I am coming off of my menstrual cycle.  I mention the latter just incase it's a factor - though I don't think it is.

I noticed yesterday and more so today, that I have a strong body odor.  I never smell, I could go without deodorant and I wouldn't smell most days.  For the last two days, I put it on and it just doesn't hold up.  Tomorrow I will try switching the deodorant but I don't think it will make a difference.  I think the change in my body odor is due to the liquid diet.

I started having liquid lunches last week - not the fun kind that comes in cocktail glasses and has little umbrellas - the kind that consists of protein shakes/chicken broth/diet Snapple - to prepare for this week.  I wanted to get accustomed to not eating during the day at work.  My officemates eat all the time and I needed to get acclimated to having them snacking around me while I still had the option of going home and having a delicious chicken breast wrap.  I digress.  I say all of that to say that I'd started reducing my solid food intake a week ago and that might be why this has happened so quickly.

Well, gotta go.  I have a workout tonight and need to drink some protein before I hit the road.  Mmmmmnnn - NOT!
