Do we have better body odor?

[ellaminnowpea]

I noticed that I really never did smell... But I was veg*n before puberty, so idk. I just smell like salt when I work out hard. I think it's because I drink like 3-4L of water/ day and that just clears everything out? But it makes sense that if you're out of breath, sweaty, and red-faced, that you wouldn't smell like flowers.

I used to work with a guy from Laos and he told me that when he first arrived in the US, a man walked by him in the airport that smelled so strongly of dairy, he nearly threw up. I have personally noticed a decrease in body odor since I went vegan; I also make my own deoderant using baking soda and coconut oil. It's cheap and it works better than anything else ever has (even before I went vegan).

I think I smell better now, like fruit! Which makes feeding Abbey and Daisy (guinea pigs) a bit problematic.

I think I smell better now, but in the begining I had a lot of flatulences.

I've noticed a very significant improvement in this area. When I was vegetarian my sweat smelled unpleasantly after day or two of not showering, and now that I'm vegan it takes several days to a week before I start to have BO. Of course, I don't normally go that long without showering, whereas it's not uncommon for me to go 2-3 days between showers if I'm not leaving the house. Which means that, unlike when I was vegetarian, I no longer really get BO, as I shower before it becomes apparent. Yay!

So, yes, definitely yes, vegans smell better than vegetarians and meat-eaters!
