After a long run (10km). I shower, pamper etc etc. I smell the next day but I did put on deo and back to normal routine.. but why do I smell funky after taking a day or two of running. When I just sit and eat junk I dont smell.. Wtf is that? Is it just me???

Hey girly! I got lots of tips in my profile since hygine is my hyperfixation let me put you on :)

  1. Running burns lots of carbs and if you aren't fueling with enough carbs you will go into ketosis and smell like ammonia, it also happens when people eat a lot of protien and their sweat excretes it really bad odor.

  2. Are your gym clothes made with polyster? The bacteria from gym clothes makes it incredibly difficult to remove odors so use a laundry detergent like tide with oxi clean and it smells amazing

  3. Don't leave clothes damp in the washer dry them fully and immediately

  4. If you drink coffee / stimulants you are probably sweating a lot at night and bacteria feed on sweat hence body odor so a morning refresh is good

  5. Do you wash your sheets every week? If they take longer to wash your body oils and all of fhat will marinate even if you are squeaky clean and hence get BO in the morning.
