Housemate is doing the Atkins/no carb thing...and now he smells.

Ever since my housemate left the Marine Corps he has been putting on weight. So now he is doing the Atkins thing and I swear to god the man smells now. I can't explain the smell, kind of acrid or something.

He is showering. He just smells now, I can't explain it. Is this normal?

I tried the atkins diet for about 2 months... I didn't stink, and didn't loose weight... in fact, I gained weight.

No. Tell him that the 15 second shower you get used to doing in the marines doesn't cut it anymore in civilian life.

My mom is doing the Atkins diet. Losing weight, but not smelling.

I agree, I have a friend on the Atkins diet and he doesn't smell bad at all

Are you sure it isn't his breath you're smelling?

He should probably lay off the tuna and asparagus...

If he's doing Atkins that smell might be from ketosis.

Look in any dictionary for the disturbing definition of ketosis. Geekbabe may be right.

kinda defeats the purpose of losing weight if you stink so bad no chicks will go for you
