The Real Deal On Keto Body Odor

Image
I’m continuing my crusade of keto mythbusting. Recently, there was keto crotch ,  then keto bloat , and today I’m returning to one of the O.G. myths—keto body odor. Yes, it seems detractors of the keto diet are hell-bent on making you think your body will become a stinky, bloated mess if you dare to drop your carbs below 50 grams per day…but is it true? Here’s the spoiler: Yes, people in online keto diet forums occasionally complain about an unpleasant change in body odor when they first go keto. There is no scientific evidence that it actually happens, nor a clear, compelling explanation for why it would. Moreover, the anecdotal (and it’s all anecdotal) evidence suggests that if it does occur, it is rare and temporary. In other words, the whole idea of keto body odor seems to be exaggerated—shocking, I know.   That said, significant dietary changes can result in other physiological changes that may manifest in a variety of ways. Since nobody wants to be the stinky kid, let’s ta

Hi, friends! I’m hitting publish on this blog post a little early this week. I finished it ahead of schedule, so why not, right? Plus, there’s a fun giveaway below that I know you want to enter! 🙂 I can’t believe the first day of Spring was yesterday. I feel like it snuck up on us! Now, I can’t wait for it to officially feel like spring in Massachusetts! Anyway, here’s this week’s  The Friday 5  (on Thursday) where I recap my top 5 favorites from the week. I hope you enjoy them, and I hope you have a great weekend! 1. PRETTYGARDEN Button Neck Fleece Pullover  – This pullover is so cozy, not to mention is goes with nearly all of the athleisure wear in my closet. I’ve worn it non-stop lately – to the point where Mal makes comments about just how much it appears in my everyday wardrobe! 🙂 I also love this pullover because it’s only $25 and comes in a handful of colors. If you’re into pullovers like me, check out this post: Affordable Pullovers for Spring . 2. Hakuna Hemp Roast  –

Aaptiv v. iFit Review

In the past, I have never been one to enjoy home workouts. I much preferred going to the gym to do cardio machines and classes and (of course) socialize! I generally need someone coaching me through a workout or I’m just not going to push myself very hard. I only really did home workouts while traveling or when the weather was particularly bad using YouTube or an old DVD. Since getting a treadmill and buying a year-long subscription to the audio coaching app Aaptiv , I started to LOVE the convenience of having a machine that could really make me sweat just off of our family room. I bought a set of 15 pound dumbbells for strength days, and I now look forward to my home workouts. The key for me was the treadmill. I can only run so many 5-foot long sprints back and forth across my living room or do so many jumping jacks. On the treadmill I can run really fast and get my heart pumping out of my chest. Even though there is only one direction to go, I feel like there are a million differ
