As keto dieters happily shed pounds, they may also experience trouble sleeping (viaPsychology Today).
There is one unexpected side effect of the keto diet that women may be less chatty about, though.
And it’s called, well, “keto crotch.”
Having nail polish remover breath is one thing.
Keto crotch more akin to rotting fish is another.
As Dr. Lisa De Fazio toldInsider, “Foods change the pH of the body.
When this happens, the body will emit certain odors.”
Thus, your underwear “may not smell like roses” due to keto.
To make matters worse, this stench can indicate a medical problem.
One way to improve this condition is by increasing your intake of alkaline, but still keto-friendly, foods.
According toMindBodyGreen, leafy greens, coconut oil, and avocado can all help minimize unwanted odors.
