Recently, a new keto side effect has been making a buzz on the internet: keto crotch. Making changes to your diet can cause a noticeable change in body odor, but can going keto really affect your vaginal health, and is keto crotch really something you should be concerned about?
#138 The Only Way to Track Macros
When I first started keto, I needed a way to know if I was doing it “right” — since I had never been aware of exactly what ketosis felt like in my body before, I wasn’t able to recognize the signs.
