hey guys I wanted to do a quick video on

the strong odor on Keita whether it’s

your urine or your breath what you can

do and what it is alright so let me just

talk about all the reasons that you can

have a strong odor mainly in your urine

sometimes through the breath okay so the

first one is liver damage that can

create a strong odor in your urine and

definitely in your breath okay an

infection can cause a strong odor in

your urine

all right dehydration that could do it

because your urine is so concentrated

asparagus will make your urine smell

pretty funky and if you consume too much

protein so if you’re consuming more than

3 to 6 ounces of actual protein per meal

okay not per day per meal that could be

an issue especially if you don’t have

enough stomach acid now as you get on

keto and your carbs are actually lower

than 20 grams or your fasting or you’re

doing intense exercise what’s gonna

happen is that your ketones are going to

go up the one that actually creates the

most technical odor on breath and in

urine is acetone this is a type of

ketone there’s three types of ketones

this is one of them okay so then there’s

actually a meter that you can get a

breath meter that you can detect this as

well but if your urine is darker and

cloudy and you have this odor the strong

odor chances are it’s going to be

acetone now acetone is also used as a

nail-polish remover you don’t have to be

concerned about that because that’s

something completely separate your body

actually makes acetone naturally as a

natural consequence of consuming more

fat and less carbs it’s a normal thing

so it’s not harmful at all so this is

what I’m going to recommend number one

increase chlorophyll and your diet that

is a deodorizer where’d you get

chlorophyll leafy greens lots of salad a

lot of leafy green vegetables number two

add a bit more fluids that would be not

just water but electrolytes with it to

be more hydrated

number three consume apple cider

with each meal that will help you for

moderate protein make sure you’re not

going crazy with the protein and one

last thing I noticed when people get on

keto but they’re not consistent so they

go off it and they go on it so the body

is constantly dumping out excessive

acetone and because it’s never developed

an efficient machine at the cell level

to fully burn up 100% of the ketones so

you actually end up with a bit more

acetone because these are just basically

unused ketones so you’re peeing out your

fat and you’re breathing at your fat in

a certain quantity but if you were to do

this more consistently and not go off

but be very strict your system is going

to become way more efficient and you’re

going to burn these up to the point

where you’re going to see less ketones

in the urine and the breath and you’ll

have less odor all right thanks for
