I have been reading where lots of people have an increased sex drive - Wow - is this ever true! It's (in my opinion) a wonderful side effect! However, has anyone noticed if the longer they low carb, it evens out? I'm still in Ketosis (although gradually easing out) and I don't want to lose this!! Are most of you who experience this out of ketosis? If so, how long have you been LC'ing? Is your sex drive returning to normal (e.g. NONE!)

Just Curious (and hopeful)

Thanks Everybody!

i think it has more to do with body image than the diet itself. but that is just my opinion. after losing 65 lbs. and going from a size 20 to either a size 10 or a size 8(depending on the maker) i cant help but feel better about my body. and i think that attitude affects me and my hubby. i feel better. i look better - how can that not affect sex drive??!

I agree with you in part, but I have to say I've been this body weight a few times before (on low fat diets) and it sure didn't feel like this! Congrats on your sucess!

I dont know I think I am Fat as ever, and to be honest, WOO HOO!lol

whoo hoo is right! Twinkies were NEVER this good!

I always want it heehheh. But then I am a guy so that must be why.

I've been low carbing for close to 4 years and yes it does even itself out... It's all about the new body image for sure..

DAMN! (am I allowed to say that?)

I think so! he he

Trust me, there is hope.
And it's not entirely about body image.

Say no more.....................

Bless you Alina!

you ladies... LOL
I am convinced that it is more then body image..
See, the body image thing helps with the "want" but I believe that there is a hormonal thing going on and it helps with the "can".. and oh boy, does it ever!... LOL.

well mines been high since i started 3 yrs ago and it's still going stronger then ever...ask my wife. heh heh heh! in fact i think my sex drive is increased the more weight i lose. i am afraid at this rate when i reach my goal weight that i'll hardly be able to walk out the front door without wanting to ...hmmm i can't think of a good way to put this and not get in trouble so i will bid you all a good day

Jon Mmmmm sex...

Well I've reached my goal weight and I can tell you - you won't be able to walk out the front door without wanting to ... I'd better not lose anymore or I will have to be institutionalized or something! How long did you stay in Ketosis? I'm supposed to be easing out but I don't want to! Can I ask how many carbs you have a day? Do you go in and out of Ketosis? (opps I guess I could have phrased that better!)

I eat about 20-35 carbs a day. I am in ketosis all the time. i have been losing about 2 pounds a week for a while now. we sould quit talking about this stuff i am getting very ..well i have to go now. lol.
