If I'm in ketosis, is my body odor supposed to smell like milk and honey?

Fuck is going on here?

come on somebody got to know what I'm fucking about

>>33213041 (OP)
No, it's supposed to smell like acetone and formaldehyde. Unless acetone and formaldehyde smell like milk and honey, in which case yeah.

>>33214015
>acetone and formaldehyde
Actually it does smell like that
I also feel like urinating a lot.
Is that part of it too?
And I feel weaker than normal.

Holy shit my diet is shit
I feel like shit and I need carbs
A Fucking SAP.. bro
A.. Fucking.. SAP


They're feeding me a shit low carb diet.
I thought I was eating enough carbs.
But nahhh. I was dead fucking wrong.

Hey why does it smell like that anyway?
And it's mostly coming from my genitals.
Plus my mouth feels like I ate a mint.
Fuck is going in here?

normal

maybe normal, maybe not.

When you're in ketosis your liver produces three ketone bodies:
- acetone
- acetoacetate
- beta-hydroxybutyrate
Of these, the body only burns beta-hydroxybutyrate as fuel, the other two are evacuated through the lungs (breath) and skin along with sweat.

>>33214866
You need to drink a lot of water. The reason you're pissing so much is ketone bodies are acidic - right now you've got acid for blood and your kidneys are trying to piss out those acidic ketones so your blood doesn't get so acidic that it kills you. Normal kidneys can do this just fine if you drink enough water, though type 1 diabetics have another problem in that their bodies can't regulate how much ketone their liver produces so they get into a runaway situation and die in a dissolved puddle of acid blood (google diabetic ketoacidosis)

>>33214866
Urinating a lot is probably the result of eating more protein than usual: the body has to keep breaking down the amino acids into urea, and flushing that out. It calms down a bit after the first couple of weeks.

The weakness may simply be because you don't have any stored glycogen, which makes resistance exercise difficult and damaging. It may also be partly because you're drinking so much water and peeing so much that you're screwing up your electrolytes; you could try eating a little more salt, see if that helps.

You diabetic? See a doctor ASAP. Sounds like your pancreas ain't working and you need insulin.

>>33213041 (OP)
>If I'm in ketosis, is my body odor supposed to smell like milk and honey?
No. If your sweat smells sweet it's because you're diabetic and your blood glucose level is dangerously high.

>>33216415
nah
it's normal when going into ketosis
the acetone in hte sweat gives me a rash on my genitals and other areas
it should stop happening 24-48 hours into ketosis
unless my pancreas is failing too, i guess

>>33216582
It is not normal for your sweat to smell sweet when going into ketosis. To get that smell you'd have to also have high blood sugar, and *that* combination - high blood sugar levels and high ketone levels - is primarily seen in type 1 diabetics that are going into ketoacidosis.

>>33213041 (OP)
You are diabetic. You need to see a doctor extremely urgently. Sweet body odour is an unambiguous sign of diabetes. Pissing constantly is a sign of diabetes. Tiredness/weakness is a sign of diabetes. The combination of sweet body odour and "ketosis" suggests you're in diabetic ketoacidosis, and you may be dead in as little as a few hours if you don't get medical attention. I AM NOT KIDDING. Get help immediately.

>>33216662
No, I am not diabetic. It's a low carb diet, that I am being forced to eat because I don't currently have any control over what is being served to me.

>>33215986
I drink a shit ton of water. And by a shit ton, I mean about 40 to 60 ounces a day, every day for the last 20 years.

>>33216049
No the weakness is definitely the lack of carbs. I need fucking carbs. My body hates low carb shit. It has never worked out well for me. I keep a log of everything I eat, so I know.

>>33216601
Again, not diabetic. Low carb diet.

>>33216662
>AM NOT KIDDING. Get help immediately.
Look, okay, I've had this same fucking experience every fucking time I've been on a low carb diet. The moment... THE MOMENT I got enough carbs in me again, everything went back to normal, and I gelt great again. Every fucking time. So it's not diabetes.

>>33213041 (OP)
Bruh

>>33216755
If your fasting blood sugar reading is bad enough then you have diabetes. You can get one at Walmart for $15. Sweet odors can happen in keto diet as well as diabetes. Are you in a POW camp?

This guy is in a POW camp and they're feeding him carrion

>>33216755
>No, I am not diabetic
It sure sounds like you are, low carb diet or not. Have you checked your blood sugar levels today?

>>33213041 (OP)
It smells like women's nail polish.

A woman putting paint on her nails smells like death.

>>33218768
>women's nail polish
Ok then I don't think it smells like that. It's a different smell all together. And 95% of it is coming from my pants, the crotch area, cause I wear the same pants all week. And wash them twice a week. Without my pants, the smell is gone.

With that being said, these same pants never smell like that when I get adequate carbs in my diet. They're funky, but not this kind of funky.

>>33218608
Trust my, I was at my doctor's last month. They said I was fine. Blood pressure fine too. Everything fine.

Then again, these could just be the dyes of the fabric mixing with my farts over time.

Perhaps my farts have a different heft to them when I'm experiencing ketosis.

Face facts, anon, you're diabetic.

>>33219812
oh yeah?
where's your lab tests that prove that?
how come my doctors say I'm fine?
you face facts
you know absolutely nothing about my body

>>33220286
Anyways, so it's either three things that I've narrowed it down to.

One, is the sickness that's going around with the people I live with. But highly doubt that.

Two, lack of carbs in my diet.

Three, lack of iodine in my diet, cause, I have no idea if these people use iodized salt to cook the meals they serve to the residents.

I could never really tell between low carb symptoms and low iodine symptoms.

Right now I am sick with a runny nose and I recovered from a fever that started from my throat a couple days ago.

I'm not sure if I ate enough carbs today, but I know I haven't been getting any iodine so, we'll try that. Cause I know when I don't get enough iodine, shit like this starts to happen. That's a fact.

>>33221589
Okay, as I'm eating more carbs, I'm starting to feel a lot better. A lot more normal. I guess I needed even more carbs than I thought. Go figure...

In fact, I feel very normal right now. My muscles have gotten back their energy. No more twitching. And no more of that icky slimey feeling.

The frequent urination? Just weak bladder muscles, cause carbs give me energy.
>>33216049
>Urinating a lot is probably the result of eating more protein than usual
So it's not that. And I was eating the same amount of protein I always was.
>>33216662
>Sweet body odour is an unambiguous sign of diabetes. Pissing constantly is a sign of diabetes. Tiredness/weakness is a sign of diabetes.
And most definitely NOT... ANY... of that.

I'm still a bit sick with a runny nose, but that's entirely unrelated and getting better by the second. People around me are sick too. Must have caught it from those coughing bastards.

I guess I'm just not cut out for this low carb bologna. I dunno how you fuckers do it, but I need my fucking carbs. God forbid something happens where I'm stranded on an island with nothing to eat except fish and crabs...

As for the smell, that was just my clothes. I need to wash them more. There was no acetone smell coming from me. I stripped naked several times and smelled myself and couldn't smell anything.

>>33222910
Yeah, I needed even more carbs cause I was sick. I forgot how having a fever can take its toll on the body.

>>33222910
(NTA)
>I'm still a bit sick with a runny nose, but that's entirely unrelated
Carbohydrate-withdrawal can cause mild flu-like symptoms for the first 1-2 weeks, so don't count on that.

>>33224710
Ah crap

>>33224710
Well damn, does that include the fever as well?

>>33222910
Alright, I'm back to normal. The frequent urination has stopped. I got my erection back. No more runny nose. All good.

>>33213041 (OP)
My BO mostly goes away or is dramatically reduced on a low carb diet except for three things:
If I eat fake-keto food made with artificial caramel flavors (keto cookies and shit like that) my pee will smell like the artificial caramel about an hour later for a pee or two. The other odor I notice is I had bad enough BO on a high carb diet that I didn't notice, but I'm distinctly stinkier when I eat garlic. I actually limit my garlic consumption now.
Its possible you're eating F only knows what and you're literally sweating it out. Another thing that makes me stinky or smell weird is high dairy. Like cheese on a burger is OK, but trying to make a meal (LOL) out of dairy will get smelly. I know there's people who like those "cheese chip" things but it just makes me smelly. Again I imagine it always did but high carb diets made me so stinky I didn't notice. One of the T2 diabetes symptoms that went away for me, for example, after I went low carb, was stinky rotting feet. My feet now smell like my hands, more or less odorless.
"Real keto" "real low carb" food like meat doesn't make you smelly but the "fake" foods certainly do.

>>33235777
>My BO mostly goes away or is dramatically reduced on a low carb diet
Wow, that's interesting, cause mine does the opposite and gets worse.
