Bathing suit season is on the horizon which means that even more women than usual are dieting to lose those 5, 10, or 15 pounds that somehow accumulated during the long, nasty winter. It doesn't seem to matter that we have gobs of evidence proving that diets simply don't work - the dieting industry continues to be a multi-billion dollar business. Diets don't work because dieting involves a sense of deprivation. The body has a long memory for deprivation and will eventually respond with compensatory eating. That's why the yo-yo syndrome is such a common dieting experience.
If you're starving yourself - or just giving up chocolate - to lose a few pounds, you may be imagining a future, sexier self. But meanwhile, your interest in sex is probably taking a nosedive. When you're irritable and cranky, sex is not exactly going to be way up there on your list of priorities. You most likely just want to be left alone. No wonder your partner brings home a box of hot Krispie Kreme donuts to sabotage your latest weight loss effort.
Learning to eat in a healthy, life-giving way will enhance, not detract from your interest in sex. Losing some weight and getting more fit can also give you increased energy and self-esteem - a definite sex-booster. Just stay away from diets that are sex-killers.
