    Are you on a low carb diet at the moment? being in a ketosis state can lead to bad breath, ect, ect, not to sure about B/O though…

    Thanks guys for the responses. Yes, currently, the only time I eat carbs is PWO, PPWO, and cheat days (once a week). If I have an off day, I eat no carbs. I'm currently on a cutting diet. So you think ketosis is the culprit?

    If he eats carbs at PWO and PPWO i doubt he's in ketosis. It usually takes a few days with very restricted cabrs to get into ketosis.

    it means your body is burning protein as fuel, so i guess that technically isn't ketosis. it does mean you need to amp up the carbs though- i would slowly raise the amount of low GI carbs you injest until the catpee smell stops but before you gain fat (it's gonna take some feeling out), and esp. eat a couple slices of whole wheat toast in the morning along with a big ass eggwhite omelette.

    whats ketosis guys, I have one more month of bulking before I start cutting (because I don't want to cut, even though I have some extra fat I gained 17 pounds so far this summer and I've been slaying ass like never before, I'm scared to get ehteopian again again.)

    Get this also, and its not from Ketosis, Carb depletion, steroids . The sweat smells exactly like ammonia and Windex. Not everytime, but at least 1/3 of the time.
