Uh oh: This is the embarrassing side effect of the Keto diet

You know, the I-don't-eat-carbs regime that stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Kim Kardashian swear by. Advantage? You lose fat quickly. Disadvantage? You seem to suffer from, uh, ‘the Keto cross’, an unpleasant smell down under. Since you barely consume any carbohydrates during the diet, the body responds by releasing ketones from the liver. This, in turn, has peculiar effects on the smell of your breath, your sweat, and particularly... your, well, vagina. In that last case, the smell is caused by a change in the pH level of the vagina. Women’s Health reports that countless women have complained online about the side effect after going ‘Keto’. Are you currently following Keto (my advice: definitely don't do it for too long because it's not very healthy) and thinking: yuck, I really don't want that? Fresh fruit seems to help against a fishy odor down under. Just like fruit juices, grains, and Greek yogurt. Just so you know.
