Sweat smelling metalic

I've been on the diet for about a week. I do roughly 25 minutes of running everyday. These last few days I've noticed a change of odor from my sweat. The best way I can describe it is rusty metal smell. Is that normal? Is that a significant measure of anything?

Thats the ketones being expelled from your body thru your sweat...I get the same thing when I have a heavy-workout.

I know exactly what you mean...ever before adkins, if I did a big workout (45 min to an hour cardio & weights) I'd smell metallicy in the shower. I've always wondered why myself...now I know! THx!
