weight loss and sex

Good Wednesday Morning....Please be careful driving out there today....

Today I bring up a topic that was brought up by a patient in the program yesterday...a topic that is uneasy for most people to discuss and an issue that probably does affect most people with weight issues...sex.

The patient told me that since she lost over 40 pounds, one of the best outcomes of this has been a marked improvement in her relations with her husband. She said that not only does she feel much more attractive, but physically, everything seems to work much better. She told me that her husband seems much more interested in passionate moments and keeps commenting about how much younger he feels and how much younger she looks.

I have had several men tell me that after their significant weight loss, erectile dysfunction improved.

Clearly, there are many other reasons why losing weight improves the quality of life, but there are certain "byproducts" of significant weight loss...improved relations is one of them.
