Date: February 10, 2007 03:18AM My good friend knows when i've eaten a bunch of greens, or even a green smoothie, she has figured it out numerous times...
She says my breadth smells like the "outdoors" Dirt.... So I guess we don't smell all that great to cooked ppl?! Re: smelling like a RAW person

Date: February 10, 2007 05:11AM That's funny! I've known two rawfooder friends who had a lot of banana/kale green smoothies and both of them got a very specific breath smell. I didn't think it smelled like dirt but I didn't think it was exquisite either. I'm not a great fan of kale/banana. But I haven't noticed it from any other green smoothie combo!
I've been told I smell of fruit sometimes - but that's probably because it's all over my clothes from harvesting lol -

Date: February 10, 2007 10:13AM ela, it's nice to see your lovely face, as lovely as your soul.
When my family eats durian, we can smell it under our armpits. Which reminds me of the time I smelled durian for the first time and compared it to a fart (beg your pardon). Would durian lovers smell like that to others??? Then, the expression "old fart" could take another, double meaning. I hope I have not offended anyone. 
Also, I recall eating halva made from unhulled sesame seeds. It looks like dirt and tastes like dirt (sweet type). And, is actually quite yummy. Gosia

Date: February 10, 2007 03:43PM I was just about to come on this forum and ask a question about raw food and body odors when I found this post. I've only been raw for about a week and a half, and I'm not quite 100% but suddenly my body odor and breath has changed, I don't smell like myself! I smell like dirty garlic or someone else's BO. It's on my hands, my armpits and my breath. Yuck! Even my boyfriend noticed and said something. It's both funny and unerving. I like raw thus far and I'm hoping this is a temporary side effect but I don't feel like I am detoxing. Re: smelling like a RAW person

Date: February 10, 2007 05:06PM Haha - this is a funny thread. Lovely to see you too, Gosia - I adore the smell of durian, so would happily be an old (or young) fart! And after saying I was 'gung ho', I didn't post the picture of harvesting fruit and smelling of it that I intended to - here it is hopefully...
Cukes - if it's only been a week and a half, I'd say hang in there sweetheart! I like that you see it as funny as well as unnerving. When you move to a way of eating that frees up energy for your body, it'll start to clean house and all kinds of stuff will start to come out. It's a fascinating thing to realize that the skin is a major organ of elimination. Can sometimes be inconvenient, as we can't restrict skin- based elimination to visits to the bathroom - but better out than in, eh? love Ela

Date: February 10, 2007 05:10PM My husband noticed a while back that after forgetting to put on deodorant he went all day and didn't have BO. I have notice being cleaner in my mouth and my body. Cleanliness from the inside out. Re: smelling like a RAW person

Date: February 10, 2007 05:28PM Smelling raw? Hmm.
The women I run with tell me I smell like garlic, onion, bananas and oranges. The garlic and onion I'm sure is on me from the prior night's salsa; I usually eat bananas and oranges in the morning. Maybe I'll try to post a pic too. Thanks, Arilraw Re: smelling like a RAW person

Date: February 10, 2007 06:30PM Hey Cukes! Yup - that's part of detoxing - increases and changes in body odors.
After 2 years raw, I still notice a bit of increase in bo when I improve my diet by reducing acidic foods and increasing alkaline foods. I'll probably experience it again in the spring when I cut down on nuts and seeds and up my fruit. Congratualtion - it will pass soon. Life Is Good! alive! Re: smelling like a RAW person

Date: February 12, 2007 05:50PM when i drink juiced spinach i think i smell like my pigs breath! lol, thats not a bad thing though, because they eat burdock in the field, raw piggies.
I love the smell of health. to be honest, if I smell someone who is a unhealthy it puts me off. I was seeing this guy before and he smelt amazing, like a pantry of fresh food - now thats what im talkin about!! I think you can really smell health on people, i think I could probably smell someone unhealthy with my eyes closed; lol : )) Re: smelling like a RAW person

Date: February 13, 2007 07:08PM My body odor is not nearly as offensive since I've gone raw. I read an artical that claims virgin coconut oil makes a great natural deodorante. I'm trying it for the first time today and so far its actually working. Re: smelling like a RAW person

Date: February 13, 2007 10:51PM After four and a half years of raw I have to admit that I sometimes go for more than a week without showering or washing my hair, simply because I don't get smelly anymore. Ok,Ok, so I sound like a dirty old woman (especially after my posts about urine therapy but what can I say. And I do exercise, I go everywhere on my bike, often with my youngest son on the back. I walk my dogs for an hour every day. Like coconut cream I can smell myself when I get stressed out but the smell seems to disappear again, it doesn't stay on my body. As for my hair, I live in the city so it does get dirty but I just rinse it with water once a week or so and that does the trick. I just love all these little extra's raw gives me. Life has just become so easy. No soap, no shampoo. Hardly ever use moisturizers anymore, beautiful!Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
