About Rev. Dr. Abbott Expertise I've spent decades dieting and living with eating disorders. Now I am not only recovered, but a nutritional consultant and counselor.
Since 'no more diets' I've also been 100% free of any weight problem. It's that easy. No dieting.
Experience Nutritional advisor and consultant; counselor (ordained minister); ongoing extension education in human (and animal) nutrition, behavior.
I've been doing a lot of excercising and dieting lately and have noticed that my sweat is starting to smell like vinegar sometimes. I have a suspicion that it might be related to my new fitness regime. Am I on target here or do I need to get to a doctor?
Thanks!
Answer Low carb right? Whether it's that or just extremely low calorie, the odor is a byproduct of your body breaking down muscle and organ tissue, including bone (it doesn't matter how much you're exercising).
What people don't understand is that the low carb thing has been around since at least the 1960's (under many different names, but a big hit as the Atkins' QUACK's diet) - and the most obvious question is, if it really worked, why are there still overweight people? In fact, even more! And if you listen carefully, you'll hear statements like, "When I was on it (low carb diet) before...." or "I'm going to the (low carb) diet again..."
Nearly 100% of everyone on ANY "diet" will regain their lost weight, plus 20% more. If you want to "go off" the eating plan you're using to lose weight, it's a diet and it won't work.
Well, that's it for the lecture. Your instincts are sharp and you're obviously smart enough to know there's something wrong - please, re-evaluate what you're doing and don't let it take it's toll on your health (the damage CAN be permanent).
Check my site for info that exposes all the quack diets and programs and exactly what you can do to really lose weight, be healthy and NEVER diet again (and not give up what you LIKE!).
