Day 23 HCG Diet: I Stink
Literally. I stink. Have I hit ketosis? Am I eating too much garlic? Because I stink. I shower, I get out, and a smell radiates from my pores that is not the sweet scent of body wash (which, incidentally, I can’t use because you can’t use anything containing oils while on the hcg diet), but…
