That is ketosis. Expect stinky breath, stinky sweat and stinky pee.

Congratulations on being in ketosis!!!

I find it comes and goes, but it's not nice. Change to an antipersperant, that does help. I also use a bath loofah and scrub more than usual with Body Shoppe products - that does the trick for me.
