Is the Keto Craze Increasing Male Organ Odor? Diet fads come and go with alarming regularity – which isn’t to say they don’t necessarily have benefits, merely that there always seems to be some new diet coming along that attracts a great deal of attention for at least a while. Recently, the keto (for ketogenic) diet popped up on the scene and went viral quickly. And as it has become more popular, questions have been raised about whether it might not contribute to any male organ health issues – most prominently, to male organ odor. About the keto diet The basic premise behind the keto diet is not really new and has formed the basis of many previous diet trends. Essentially, the idea is to cut down on carbohydrates and increase proteins and fats. When the body is absorbing only small amounts of carbohydrates, it has less of the readily-available ingredients needed for blood sugar levels. With few carbohydrates to get energy from, it switches to fats and proteins instead. And when it does that, it causes a person to lose more weight. Ketosis is the name for the process of getting energy from fats and proteins, hence the name the keto diet. Distinct smell It didn’t take too long for people to notice that many dedicated keto dieters had developed a certain aroma about them. That’s due to several factors, one being that the keto diet brings about the increase in the body of ketones, formed when fat is burned for fuel. This is a natural process, but one of the by-products of this is an increase in the creation of acetone, the same ingredient found in nail polish remover. When a person sweats or urinates, they may exude an acetone-like odor. In addition, burning stored body fat means that any toxins that have been buried in that fat will now be released, and their unique smells will also be added to the sweaty mix.
