Ammonia after cardio

[jtunderdog]

So what is it? I have heard ten million explanations and most from physical therapists. I have heard its a sign you are burning ketones.

 

[mickdoo]

ammonia smell is a by product of nitrogen which is the protein which is being stripped from the muscle cells to being burned as fuel, google it and read

yep, i use to get it when dieting for shows, I believe it means your in ketosis

 

[dreww]

ketosis baby. does your urine smell worse too?

 

[NAIR]

Holy shit, I've never heard of this. I bet this gives you plenty of space at the gym. If someone reeks I'll leave their area ASAP

My urine never smelled of ammonia when i was in ketosis

I never noticed this, I just always used a ketosis test to find out if I was in, but now I guess I can try to see if I smell ammonia instead of forking out some money
