    Greater sex drive?

    Honestly, since I started losing weight my sex drive is through the roof!
    Is it the weight that is gone? is it mental? is the change in eating habits? is it just me ???
    Is anyone else experiencing this? I have been on Atkins now for about a month and have lost 14 pounds and my drive and stamina are amazing me

      Some people do find they get an increased sex drive... maybe it's the hormonal changes that happen when you diet. Menstrual cycle often changes for a few weeks too.
      I didn't notice any increase in my sex drive on Atkins... if anything, the opposite ... but this might have been menopausal.

      Anyway... as you get this increase, enjoy it!!

        Jospeh. You should read through the posts on the men's forum.

        Low carb diets can increase testosterone levels, but there are psychological effects too.

        You need to register to gain access to the men's forum.
        Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
        he said, 'Don't count calories.'
