Crazy sense of smell....

[cheekychick81]

Hey... I'm just wondering whether anyone has noticed their sense of smell going crazy since being on s&s? I'm on day 34 I think today and the smell of mushrooms cooking is turning my stomach... It's not even a smell that has slightly bothered me in the past?!

Hmmm - can't say I've had that. The last time I was on the diet though I became overly interested in other people's food for a while (I think it was around week 6) I kept wanting to look at it and smell it. Luckily I managed to be subtle about my tendancies!

Never come across that on a vlcd before! Any chance you could be pregnant?

Ha ha... No I've ruled that one out! I happened last time I was on s&s... I couldn't stand the smell of my bf's insulin... I'm clearly just a strange creature

Interesting you mention that! I'm not finding stuff making me feel sick but I did notice my sense of smell for good turned me into a bloodhound!! I could smell restaurant food a fair distance away from where the restaurant was - my friend with me didn't smell it til we were much much closer and just in general I have found I've been smelling things stronger than usual.

My general sense of smell is also much stronger... Fortunately I've not felt as sick through smells the last few days!
