I have lost 46 in the last 9 weeks and seem to not only sweat more than I used to but smell worse than before? Is it Ketosis coming out in my skin>

I'm about 2 1/2 weeks out and my deodorant has started not working! Definitely stinkier, especially the underarms.  I'm not sure about the ketosis but I wondered the same.

Haha same here!  I thought it's because I've really stepped up my walking lately...this makes more sense.

I experienced that too but it was a temporary state as my hormones leveled out :)

mine is not better yet. "Clinical" deodrant is expensive but works. This happened after I had my reproductive organs removed also. I hope when I'm at goal for a while it gets better but I'm not waiting, holding my breath.

I am not sure about ketosis, wouldn't that smell sweet? Anyway...almost 5 mo ths out and I had to switch to an aerosol deorderant(which I hate...environmentally speaking) because I stunk! It must be hormones because the same thing happened to me for awhile after I had my child. 

The human body is an amazing thing!
