The information you quoted is incomplete. Can you elaborate please.

My blanket smelled differently after I got a dog...

I found a miraculous cure.. It's called closing the bedroom door!

 

[Jaylee]

Or "washing machine"...

Do you think I should block the "threshold" to my bedroom with a Hotpoint?

Back when I had my last dog he discovered how the handle worked. :/

Smelly blankets are so retro, now smelly duvets, doonas, continental quilts etc are the go.

Wash the covers weekly to get bodily odours whatever out and your good to go.

Keep your dogs outside where they belong just like their ancestors did.

I'm currently looking at the best deal prices on dirt cheap hotels for that dead fly in the sink & used blanket smell...

I knew a person online who worked in a rent a room by the hour motel / hotel in downtown Atlanta as a security man.

Smelly sheets as well as blankets.

What??? On the washing machine?

As an aside one of my dogs thinks our washing machine is a sort of kitchen telly and will always have a good peer through the door - particularly if it's actually on a washing cycle - maybe he can detect if any ketone flavoured bedding is going round and round...

Glad I'm retired then, @zand! - just one less diabetes related issue to stress over, and my doggies love me whatever my current flavour, as long as thy get food and cuddles, and a washing machine telly to watch. They actually think my diet is great - specially if I'm making something that involves fat or cream of any sort - stuff the ketones...

PS Just a thought: Perhaps diabetic alert dogs should now also be trained to sniff out this new type of pongy ketone flavoured bedding too?

The articles says burning fat for food causes a different smell. My thinking is that the lchf people would know whether this is true. So just asking to verify what the article is claiming.

If your body goes into a state of ketosis and starts to burn body fat then this can result in an acetone smell (like nail polish remover) in your breath, sweat and urine.

I agree. I didn't notice my bedding smelling though....

I don't think it's an article. It appears to me to me the ramblings a of an oddbod in the comments section of a website. It is not science based. The post ends with the warning that people with "type 4" should avoid Atkins as it is a "death sentence" for them

The best way to know if you smell differently is to ask someone you trust in real life.

I can think of more polite ways of asking the question than posting that particular rant...
But no so far as I know, and I know my dear hubby would say, I don't "smell" because I am a low carber. Just lighter , no sleep apnea, and more healthy...

LOL a very unusual title and the information is unusual too, could you elaborate on this fascinating subject...........please.

Wash the covers weekly

Weekly?!
That's what I must be doing wrong!

Thank you, @tinyfilosofer for clarifying your meaning.
As other posters have mentioned, a diet high in fat can cause ketosis. The ketones produced do sometimes cause a different smell, often noticed on the breath, an acetone smell. Less noticable if the person drinks plenty of water to stay well hydrated.

As for odours in sweat, and smelly bedclothes, I think others have already answered, that regular laundring of bedding and clothes, and attention to personal hygiene, would eliminate any problem. This is, of course, the same for anyone, not just those in ketosis.

Although the wording of your post, and the title and content, had the potential to cause offence, I think those responding should be commended for their light hearted comments.

Maybe this topic can now be put to bed?
