Re: Sex drive DECREASE, anyone?
Hopefully this isnt TMI, but mine increased. It could be just a blip for you. Have you noticed a difference in your energy levels over all?sigpic260/215/180 Male - 36 y/o
It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!
I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

Re: Sex drive DECREASE, anyone?
Hi Cyberspacestar,
Okay a little embarassed about this but yes mine went down considerably.
Nearly a year in it is pretty much back to normal - I think for me it was to do with body and self esteem issues that losing weight brought up. I also wondered if it was because my body was kind of surprised by the weightloss, a bit worried about starvation and so not wanting to get pregnant in 'hard times' but that could be complete rubbish.Comment

Re: Sex drive DECREASE, anyone?
I saw a major increase when the first few pounds came off. I think it was I finally had the energy to stay up past the kids. Then I hit a slump around my TOM and it took a week or two after before my drive came back. However, when it came back boy ohh boy did it.Female

Re: Sex drive DECREASE, anyone?
I don't mean for this to sound rude at all, but judging from your previous posts regarding your BF, my drive would decrease too and NOT because of the diet.27 F 5' 7"

Re: Sex drive DECREASE, anyone?

Re: Sex drive DECREASE, anyone?
Mine decreased for a while after starting this way of eating...but it seems back to normal now... and I did wonder if it were Atkins or the menopause, at first.Before and after:

Re: Sex drive DECREASE, anyone?
Mine's pretty much vanished! Hope to find it again someday!
Maybe it's because I'm sort of OBSESSED right now with this WOE though. Seems like when I'm not working I'm always thinking about how many grams of Carbs I need, how much water I've drunk, how much exercise, etc.
Matter of fact, my DH was in the room earlier trying to chit chat and I got so annoyed because I was more interested in reading posts!5'4" Female, 39 Years

Re: Sex drive DECREASE, anyone?
Heck no! mine went crazy! before Atkins i was never really bothered - i had no sex drive, now i'm uh.. yah...
not sure if its the confidence you get from losing weight or just the atkins itself but its definitely NOT decreased!

Re: Sex drive DECREASE, anyone?
I have to agree with you on this one. Her bf wants her chubby and the subconscious fear that she may be "losing" him if she loses weight is definitely a libido killer. That would certainly do it for me.Originally posted by slimndown
