The not so sweet smell of success
 

I hate to post on such an indelicate subject, but it's really frustrating me.Since starting this WOE 5 months ago, my deoderent no longer seems to work very well and the not so sweet sweet smell of success is embarassing. Does anyone else have this problem or can anyone recomend a perticular deoderent that seems to work better on our ketone tinted body fluids? I had heard about the bad breath that goes along with Atkin's and I suppose this is along the same lines. The excercise routine certainly doesn't help any for this problem I am sure.
Thanks for any suggestions!

yeah, i have the same problem.....im curious to see what others say, my good ole deodorant isnt maskin the odor like it used too..i seem to have killed the breath problem by drinking alot of water....

Are you using an actual "Deoderant"? I've found that an Anti-persperant works much better.

tried a couple of different, combination deoderent/ antiperspirent..Degree used to be a favorite, but doesnt cut it anymore.

Where the same subject is discussed, OK I'm just too lazy to retype my reply!!

Further the more water you drink the more the ketones will be secreted in the urine. Drinking tons of the water is the real key.

thanks for the link!
Vinager? worth a try, but would have to be done everyday since body would just revert to old Ph very quickly.
I do drink about 75-100 oz of water everday, so I don't think that is the problem.

Dry Idea
 

Try Dry Idea! I swear by it.

:D

After trying several kinds, I would like to report that Sure Advantage has worked wonderfully!
Might be worth a try to any others of you who have experianced this problem.

I'm a "Secret" girl :roll: , strong enough for a man, made for a woman.

Secret Platinum might be worth your while, it is marketed as being stronger than regualr Secret.

I use Mitchum. They advertise by saying it's so strong you can skip a day, (not that I'd advise it) Chris
