Ammonia Smell Day After Pulse Fast

Sorry but wasnt sure where to post…

Yesterday i did the pulse-fast except i did it with only MAG-10 and because i woke up late i think i did anywhere from 5-7 pulses

i wanted to do two sessions today so i woke up early and went about it as follows

-60 coffee
-30 1 scoop whey + 1.5 apple(s)
-15 started sipping 2 scoops WOF
-0 Finished WOF
Para Workout 3 scoops MAG10
+15 1 scoop whey

when i got home, i took off my shirt and could smell the ammonia…

Thibs or anyone else, if you have any advice i’d really appreciate it

Thanks

This often happens when you go into a ketogenic state. A fast + leucine is the fastest way to get into ketosis.

so do you think im using muscle tissue and/or the MAG-10 as fuel instead of carbs/fats?

is there anything i can/should do to make things “better” (for lack of a better word)?

thanks for all your help

No, it just means that your body is producing ketones and using them for energy… which is actually muscle-sparing.

You sure you mean ammonia and not acetone?

Yeah, because if you really smell ammonia I think it can be a kidney problem… Not that I’m certain or anything, but I recently read a doctor’s answer to a pasiant on this topic… → So, if you think you smell like ammonia, maybe you should contact your doctor, just to be sure…

thanks ill look into it but im “hoping” its just that my protein intake is too high although last night i i had about 1/3 of a jar of natty PB just for the sake of upping my fats and im doing another pulse today.

i woke up sweating (pretty common for me) but i smelled my beater and i could clearly smell a ‘chemical’. my sense of smell sucks so im still not sure if its ammonia or acetone…
