A hi-protein diet like Atkins produces a lot of BUN: Blood Urea Nitrogen It's the breakdown chemical left over from protein metabolism. It's a major chemical in urine. It comes out in the sweat, is acted on by skin bacteria and can lead to body odor. Drinking more water dilutes the urine and sweat so the BUN is less concentrated.
I found the problem went away by not eating red meat protein.
