If you want to make some enemies very quickly, just jump on to social media and say "the keto diet stinks." Because there are certainly a number of people who swear by the keto diet. So Weight Watchers and Jillian Michaels are losing money because of the keto diet, and all of a sudden the magazines that they buy ads in are printing stories on Keto Crotch? Here is an example of a Tweet that raises a conspiracy theory: Some are claiming that it is a crotch or rather a crutch to criticize the diet. Not everyone is buying "keto crotch" as a real phenomenon. Halle Berry is one celebrity that lives the "keto lifestyle."

A study published in the Journal of Nutrition did find an association between having more severe bacterial vaginosis and consuming diets higher in total fat and saturated fat. Some odors, like a strong fishy one, can be the result of an overgrowth of certain microorganisms like bacteria, which is the case in bacterial vaginosis. That is, when you are on the keto diet, can ketones also accumulate in your crotch area and then subsequently lead to a new smell? Moreover, if you are woman, could ketones be changing the acidity of your vagina, which then may produce an environment more favorable to certain types of microorganisms? Indeed, the smell of your vagina can depend on the composition of microorganisms there. Not in general, but in the specific case of ketones. The question then is whether your crotch is like your mouth. ![]() One type of ketone produced is acetone, which is in certain types of nail polish removers. This accumulation of ketones may result in "keto breath", which is a rotten fruit or metallic smelling bad breath that can smell a bit like, surprise, surprise, nail polish remover. Breaking down this fat then results in ketones, which is not some acapella group, but instead organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. ![]() The thinking is that by severely restricting the amount of carbs in your diet your body may then be forced to burn your body fat instead. The theory is that typically your body may rely on burning the carbs that you eat rather than the fat stores in your body for energy. ![]() The goal of the diet is to induce ketosis in your body. As you may know, "keto diet" is short for ketogenic diet, because who has the time to say "genic." It is a high-fat, moderate-protein, and low-carb diet with approximately 80% of your calories from fat, 15% from protein, and only 5% from carbohydrates.
