ammonia

You are probably on low carbs, right? When dieting low carb, ketones will exit the body through sweat and saliva. You may also get a strange salty/sour taste in your mouth. I don't think there is anything that can be done about it, but I do think that it seems to get better with time.
 
I get this but I do go relatively low carb during the week (100grams or less). I was a bit worried by the smell at first. It was really strong. I drink enough water so that`s not it. It`s not good but it does beat normal BO which really stinks

I used to get this REALLY strong before I started doing HST.... I still do get it sometimes, but it's no where what it used to be... Like you, I've been concerned about it too. I asked my doctor about it, and he said it maybe caused by a break down of muscle since ammonia is a by product. Another opinion came from Kate. I can't remember what she said, but if you search the archives, I'm sure you'll find my old question w/her answer...
