Too Tired to Tango? Feel Like a Newlywed Male sexual function improves with weight loss. Sexual Inventory scores improve in all categories, including sexual drive, erectile and ejaculatory function, and sexual satisfaction. Women’s scores likewise improve following weight loss. Women experience feelings of sexual attractiveness, sexual desire, a willingness to be seen undressed and enjoyment of sexual activity. Both men and women report an overall increase in the frequency, quality, and enjoyment of sex following weight loss. As body image improves, there is an increase in the initiation of sexual intercourse, decreased sexual inhibition, increased sexual enjoyment and increased frequency of orgasm. Fiber is sounding better and better, isn’t it? Lose weight. Regain your sexuality. Heartburn is your body’s way of telling you it needs more soluble fiber. 12. In Short: Live Longer, Live Better There’s ample evidence that a reduced-calorie diet can increase your longevity, but only if you consume sufficient vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. In other words, consume the highest-quality, most nutrient-packed food possible—those found in The Full Plate Diet™. Caloric restriction works on three different levels: (1) As food intake decreases, metabolism slows down and the free radicals that form as by-products of metabolism decrease as well. This is good. (2) Less free radicals means less cellular damage, a lower likelihood of cancer and other diseases linked to free radicals. (3) Additionally, caloric restriction causes an increase in protective enzymes that counteract free radicals. What all this means is that the fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, and whole grains of The Full Plate Diet™ work to give you a longer, healthier life. Besides, they taste great. 19
