Drop Those Pounds And Feel Sexier Too
New research shows that dieters who lose about 13 percent of their body weight over two years both feel more sexually attractive and have greater sexual desire.
Rating Sexual Feelings
Almost 200 obese dieters participated in the study; most were women, and their average weight was nearly 250 pounds.
The dieters filled out a questionnaire every three months for two years, and were also weighed at the time of the survey. The questionnaire evaluated their feelings ranging from lack of sexual desire to reluctance to being seen undressed to difficulty in sexual performance.
Improvement Across the Board
The study participants simultaneously underwent a weight-loss program. At the end of the first three months, dieters lost an average of 12 percent of their starting weight, and reported improvements in all areas of sexual quality of life.
After 12 months in the program:26 percent reported not feeling sexually attractive, down from 68 percent at the beginning of the study.34 percent reported not wanting to be seen undressed, down from 63 percent.11 percent reported not enjoying sexual activity, down from 21 percent.15 percent reported having little sexual desire, down from 39 percent.15 percent reported avoiding sexual encounters, down from 29 percent.12 percent reported difficulty with sexual performance, down from 27 percent.
At the end of the two-year program, participants who lost and kept off 13 percent of their starting weight showed stable improvements.
Dr. Mercola's Comment:
Just goes to show, you don't need a potentiallytoxic drug that can blind you to boost your sexual desire, when more effective natural solutions in the Total Health Program,which rely onsimple tools such as eating better based on your body's unique metabolic type and exercise, can do the trick.
To really lose weight, it is helpful to treat exercise like a drug, prescribed according to precise principles. When seeking to lose weight I encourage my patients to gradually increase the amount of time they are exercising to 60 to 90 minutes a day. Initially, the frequency is daily. This is a
treatment dose until they normalize their weight or insulin levels.
Once normalized, they will only need to exercise three to four times a week and include more anaerobic speed work and strength training, as these are major keys to staying healthy.
You should exercise hard enough so that it is difficult to talk to someone next to you. When you are exercising that hard your cardiovascular system is under such a significant amount of stress that the mere act of talking makes you unable to provide your body with enough oxygen. However, if you cannot carry on a conversation at all, then you have gone too far and need to decrease the intensity.
And diet is just as important for weight loss. Remember, the foods that may be healthy for others are not necessarily healthy for you, and vice-versa. Thus, eating according to your specific metabolic type is the proven way to ascertain which foods work best for you.
Also, controlling your insulin levels is important to optimize your health. You see, when you eat grains and sugar your insulin levels increase. When insulin levels increase, you are telling your body to store carbohydrates as fat and to not release any of the stored fat. (This makes it impossible for you to use your own stored body fat for energy.)
So the excess carbohydrates in your diet not only make you gain weight, they make sure you keep that weight on. By cutting grains and sugars from your diet, you will not only tame your weight but also fight illnesses.
