I stink. TMI and possible adult content ;)

OK, so I'm 9.5 weeks out...

And I stink... like garlic. Like I mean I really STINK like garlic! LOL

My hubby even kissed me the other day and said I smell like garlic.

About two weeks ago, we were engaged in ... and when he came up to kiss me, he smelled like onions!! I was mortified  HE HATES ONIONS!! hahaha! (an btw he was a total trooper and wasn't even going to say a thing to me, I was the one that freaked out!)

I can smell the garlic when I pee first thing in the morning... GARLIC everywhere!!! 

So, I know that this is probably my body releasing stored fats - and I do cook with a lot of garlic -  but wow... this is crazy!!

How long does all this last??! Any way to make it hurry on up?

I don't think it's from recent cooking, because I am barely cooking right now, and eating even less if I do cook!

I love garlic, but NOT this way! And now I'm so self conscious about it! 

havent heard or seen this one before. I've heard of (and smelt) peoples breath being terribly stinky, normally from ketosis. Guy I worked with was doing low carb and I could almost not talk to him it was so bad all the time

Yes, Biotene toothpaste really helps with the stinky breath. I was pleasantly surprised with that find!

You may well be into ketosis. It makes your breath smell awful, and can apply to other bodily fluids too!

I guess we're going to have to find other things to do.

I did buy Biotene toothpaste and mouthwash, and that helps TREMENDOUSLY with the icky breath! I was really surprised.

Well, if you make sure your mouth (and breath) stay below the belt, that removes the breath problem...

You can get ketone sticks and test whether you are actually in ketosis.  My guess is that you are eating too much garlic and that the garlic breath will go away if you quit eating garlic. 

Too much garlic??? Is that even possible? 

I've been considering picking up more ketone sticks, but I got so obsessed with them when I did Atkins years back, that it would send me into a tailspin if the color wasn't dark enough... 

Weird, huh?

I used to be obsessed with the sticks too-- the morning pee was always the best!

I had an odor for a a few week following surgery. I think it was gone by the time I returned to work (3weeks)
