Q&ATo @fast RE: Fasting and Body Odour
HelpMePlease asked 4 years ago

Hey!
I have done fasting in the past, because I figured some of the foods and beverages were the cause. Good news: it did reduce the body odour and I lost a good amount of weight. Bad news: it didn\\\'t get rid of it altogether. 
I think if the body odour is relative to food/medication it is the Eccrine glands. Sour, musty, pungent more ammonia scented odours are Apocrine.

Awesome - fasting is indeed a way to tackle if, although it is hard to take it all the way. Our research has shown that a higher BMI links to more BO and more malodorous bacteria in the underarms. Also the types of food can be of impact! Best, Chris
