Just not feelin’ it anymore? Could do without it? Maybe your weight is holding you back from doing more than you thought, but you can get past the obstacles standing in your way to a fulfilling sex life.

According to a recent study conducted at Duke University, up to 30% of obese people seeking help controlling their weight indicate problems with sex drive, desire, performance, or all three.

Medical conditions such as high cholesterol and insulin resistance [an early indicator of type 2 diabetes] do have the ability to impact sexual performance, which in turn impacts desire.

Experts suggest enhancing your libido today:

• Lose a little weight, even 10 pounds, to stimulate sex hormones
• Eat more nutritious foods, which control cholesterol and blood sugar levels
• Key your workouts to getting blood flowing to the pelvic area
• Pick up a sexy novel and start reading
• Accept your body at any size
• Believe in your sensuality

Feel sexy and you’ll be sexy, at any size. And when you feel better about yourself, you’ll notice a huge change in your sexual desire and that healthy body image will have a positive impact on your sex life.
