Exclamation Decreased sex drive / libido

I am on Atkins for 12 weeks now. I have been from 15-50 grams of CH. But overall I just have the feeling, my libido decreased. My girlfriend is very angry about it. I can't tell for sure, since I do not know if I am still in love with her or not. So, are there any other LC who experienced low sex drive? Any solution?

Hello there,
I cannot say I have had low lobido because of Atkins.It was the weight I was carrying that made me feel unsexy etc.
I can't help but notice your lack of enthusiasm and direction where your girlfriend is concerned.
Maybe the pressure you feel from her is the culprit.Often if men feel they are under pressure to "perform" then the body does exactly the opposite of what you want it to do.
Talk it over with her, assure her it will pass and ask her to be patient. If she is still uncompromising then I think you need to re-evaluate your relationship!
Let me know how you get on, Heather.

If anything, I have the opposite problem...lol. My hubby does as well. You might want to do a search because I seem to recall a long thread on that here a number of weeks ago.

I have dicreased libido, but it is more from just having a baby and chasing two kids all day

You mentioned that you aren't sure your in love with her. That sounds like it could have more of an effect on your sex life then LC. I know the stereo type is men can do it anywhere anytime, but with alot of the guys I know in commited relationships, if there is soemthing wrong with the relationship they lose interest in sex and intamacy.
