maybe i'm kidding myself, but my sweat REEKS of ammonia by midweek. It smells like cat-piss, it's diabolical.
I would hope with the intense exercise level, glucogen levels are totally depleted already monday.

Ok, have done a lot of reading.
Most places people say it's the nitrogen by-product form amino-acis being used for energy, and it gets excreted because of kidneys unable to process the large amount of nitrogen.
Then others say it's ketosis.
Either way, today my acid levels are up for sure.
Will stick with this program another three weeks, give my final opinion June 10.

I would say its the ammonia from the amino acids making you smell like that. They probably also say its ketosis because you're using mainly fat, but also amino acids as an energy source. You're probably also eating way more protein than you would on a non-keto diet so you have an abundance in your bloodstream.

its ketosis,ive been there before.the smell is actually acetone.your urine,breath and sweat will stink of acetone (a type of alcohol) whilst in ketosis,its horrible but thats what happens when ketone bodies are being used to burn fat

only my sweat so far, maybe also the urine, but i'll need to get a good wiff of that later. Haven't noticed breath yet...
But that's interesting. I wonder if everyone is confusing ammonia with acetone, or some people smell ammonia, and others acetone.
Then I guess group a is enjoying the side-effects of protein metabolism (nitrogen), and the other group is in ketosis.
If I am in ketosis, then with a tough exercise regimen, it took about 2 days before my sweat started to smell. Will pay attention to this next week. Right now I'm looking seriously forward to my carb-rampage tomorrow.

i really dont see the point of going full keto.carbs are more protein sparing than fat.i do lowish carbs during the week when dieting (have enough on workout days,around 120-150g carbs then lower on off days. and then "skipload/shitload" on sunday (all high gi carbs) to increase the metabolism,increase leptin and top up nearly empty glycogen stores

I don't max anymore, but max rep calcs tell me my bench is 304, squat 450, deadlift is 515 with straps. Had a shoulder injury not too long ago so my bench is not at PR levels. Haven't worked on deadlift for a bit (I usually focus a few months on squat, a few on DL, alternating).
Over the years my lifting goals have moved from "keep trying to hit PR's constantly" to "be cautious and avoid injury as much as possible." Lifts are not the impressive considering I've been going to the gym for a long while now, but I put lifting on the back burner for a long time to focus on wrestling and Muay Thai. Quit those after getting a lot of repetitive injuries but I think I'd like to get back into BJJ again which seems like the combat sport which is sustainable the longest (although lots of people get knee injuries from leg locks).
