Protein making someone smell sour?
This is a weird question/observation. Has anyone experienced that when eating LOTS of protein/drinking protein drinks that it makes someone smell funny? Just kind of sour and.....unacceptable? I've noticed this about a roommate and don't know how to handle it. I'm more asking if people have noticed this for them self or someone they live with rather than how to handle the problem.

You are so right...
Low-carb lifestyle junkies are more likely to suffer from a seldom discussed side effect of such diets -- halitosis, aka bad breath. And since more than 25 million people say they have tried the Atkins diet (not to mention other low-carb eating plans), according to the National Marketing Institute, bad breath may be an epidemic!
Bad breath in the low/no-carb sect is often caused by certain chemicals that are released in the breath as the body burns fat. They are called ketones, and entering into a fat-burning state of ketosis is the hallmark of the Atkins diet. So the good news is that if your breath stinks, you're probably doing a good job of sticking to that low-carb diet.

This is a FACT and isnt very nice is it? You need a balanced diet or things like bad breath start to happen. Talk to them about it and explain your concerns. You need alot of different things in your diet!
