theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/02/how-often-people-in-various-countries-shower/385470/ >Cleanliness, it turns out, has been one dirty trick. One reason early-20th-century Americans ramped up their weekly baths to daily showers is that marketing companies capitalized on the insecurities of a new class of office drones working in close quarters. As Gizmodo wrote last week, to sell products like "toilet soap" and Listerine to Americans, "the advertising industry had to create pseudoscientific maladies like 'bad breath' and 'body odor.'" >Take, for instance, Gizmodo's description of the philosophy of the Cleanliness Institute, which was founded by the Association of American Soap and Glycerine Producers:
>The trade association wanted Americans to wash quite unwittingly after toilet, to wash without thought before eating, to jump into the tub as automatically as one might awake each new day.
>be me >live in a office space to save money >only shower once every 2 weeks when my parents pick me up >notice a day after shower have a odor and hair is greasy >3 days later smell goes away and hair isnt greasy >notice that I smell worse after a shower because Im washing away the good bacteria >hair is greasy after shower because Im washing away all the oils and good bacteria
I can tell you that this is bullshit. I am need and regularly go 8-9 days without bathing and I smell like garbage. Also my hair and beard are greasy and disgusting. They never get better, only worse.

>regularly go 8-9 days without bathing and I smell like garbage.
And what's your diet like?
Julian Turner
Just wait another 4 to 6 weeks and you'll smell like roses.
Ayden Howard
Great statement, would anyone care to question it?
Easton Baker
I eat keto. Mostly ground beef and a little Greek yogurt.
Gabriel Martinez
Nah you stinky fuck. Bathe everyday, twice a day if you need it.
William Price
I also sometimes take week long breaks between bathing but I don't find that I stink much at all unless it's summer. It might be your race or diet. I do love deodorant though.
Adam Powell
I am Irish and Polish.
Jeremiah Perez
(((EVERYTHING WYPIPO DO IS WRONG)))
Ryan Thompson
>Mostly ground beef and a little Greek yogurt
Jesus. I'm on keto too but mostly casein protein and nut protein powders.
Liam Roberts
I do full body showers 3 times a week and European showers every day
Jaxson Sullivan
>3 days later smell goes away and hair isnt greasy that's because your nose gets used to your rotten cheese and vinegar smell idiot
Christian Hernandez
hmm, well if you aren't fat and inhaling McGoyslurry on the daily, then it could also be genetics.
Some people just tend not to stink bad for some reason, or they get a 'musk' that smells similar to deodorant.

>Cleanliness, it turns out, has been one dirty trick. One reason early-20th-century Americans ramped up their weekly baths to daily showers is that marketing companies capitalized on the insecurities of a new class of office drones working in close quarters. And people with honest outdoor jobs know that you stink to high heavens after a day of hard work, or exercise.
Owen Morgan
Also, don't buy deodorant. Use baking soda instead
Matthew Cooper
Sure bro
Chase Young
I eat keto too, but i go easy on the protein. I fucked that up in the beginning, eating way too much of it and not enough fat.
I only found out later an excess of protein strains the liver, gets turned into sugar and spikes your insulin.
Joseph Thompson
if this was in anyway true then why the fuck do people who do not bath smell so fucking rancid. i am talking dry reach rancid. I drove taxis, people who do not bath smell worse than death. also bad breath, if you do not brush that food that gets stuck smells fucking fowl.
Ryan Gray
I need to try keto. Gotta lose some fat. Thinking about doing OMAD
Sebastian Jenkins
i hate to break it to a lot of brain washed anons, this user is correct. daily bathing is unhealthy using extremely hot water is bad, it causes the bad bacteria to produce faster. and it is true about the advertisers, we used to call those shows with all the drama soap operas for a reason
Jordan Martinez
>spikes your insulin
That's broscience.
Anthony Perry
I get sticky after 12 hours. After 24 hours I enter the primitive zone, where a shower would break the natural state of being.
Juan Edwards
i think the reason people have that rancid smell is because they don't change clothes. if i do some manual labor and wear the same shirt a few days i will stink if i change shirts no problem
>the advertising industry had to create pseudoscientific maladies like 'bad breath' and 'body odor.'" >NIGGERS DON'T ACTUALLY STINK IT'S ALL IN YOIR MIND YOU STUPID RACIST GOY
Jackson Taylor
European showers you just clean your pits
Nathan Murphy
ahh, we call those mexican showers here
Juan Collins
This. The dude probably smells repulsive.
There is some science behind not showering more than once a day because it kills the good bacteria on your skin.
However, not showering for longer than a couple days is disgusting. Im sure your ear cheese can be smelt from across the room.
> Excess protein strains the liver
This is only true in people with liver damage and people who's protein intake becomes excessive. After adaptation there is very little indication the liver is under any additional stress. Your primary risk is your kidneys.
Keto is trash unless you are a manlet or have type 2 diabetes.
You are literally a walking billboard for every broscience/homeopathy/MLM bullshit idea. You should probably stop giving advice before you hurt someone.
Julian Powell

Levi Phillips
it's well known that everything but fat causes some sort of insulin response.
Enough concentrated protein can be just as bad as drinking a load of sugar-water.
Juan King
The Japanese bathe religiously and theyre healthy and long lived.
You realize of course that this is training you for future austerity measures, right? The (((elite's))) plan is that you will be one of the mass of goyim servants who live in communal apartments in mega cities, eating insect protein and keeping your "carbon footprint" as low as possible. Bathing regularly is a luxury for the chosen rich, not for you, and these 'discoveries' are here to prime you for that change.
Aaron Jones
i had an aunt that called it a whores bath. wet cloth, wash face, arm pits, vagine
Chase Lewis
Dont eat meat Dont bathe Dont spend Be more like third worlder we are importing to replace you, goy
Brayden Young
After 24 hours my ball soup smells awful, I really need a shower every day. Maybe because I'm a big sweaty guy.
Jaxson Rodriguez
Why specifically Manlets? What
David Morgan
In fact, how about you just breed with them so that in a couple generations you're all the same low-IQ coffee-colored mystery meat goblins. That's how G-D intended the world to be.
The fatter you are, the faster you lose weight on Keto. You basically won't feel hungry ever when you're on it and have more energy than you can spend, especially in the Gym.
Once you've burned through your fat stores though, and feeling hunger again, you can safely switch to a healthy normal diet - basically anything with as much green/leafy veg as you can stomach and avoiding white starch/sugar and that's fine.
Keto works fine, but i'm not one of those keto-cultists who think it's the 'ultimate diet' or anything - it's a good way of being the first step on a journey to fix a dietary lifestyle because the positive changes come hard and fast. The key, which is no secret to anyone on earth, is getting sugary shit and processed goyslurry out of your diet, and the fact is that most people to strive to go directly on the 'healthy balanced diet' doctors order struggle, because they're battling both behavioral and chemical addictions to a shitty lifestyle, and a 3rd being the fucked up gut biome. It's much easier to get to that end point by taking the rocket-ship option.
Scream 'broscience' all you want, it worked for me and i'm happy.
