Sex Life Can Improve When Obese Men Lose Weight

By Joel Mosley

"Weight loss can have a positive effect on the sexual health of an obese man who has erectile dysfunction," Dr. Christopher S. Saigal of the University of California at Los Angeles, who was not involved in the study, told Reuters Health in an interview.

Saigal noted "weight loss is a goal for all of our obese patients," because it can improve many health indicators, such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels. But for patients, these benefits of weight loss are often "intangible," Saigal said.

Weight loss can provide tangible benefits to obese men, according to the UCLA physician, who is the author of an editorial that accompanies the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

"If you lose the weight, you may regain sexual function," Saigal said. "That's a carrot for an obese individual."

But, Saigal pointed out, "This study does come with a caveat." The participants did not have high blood pressure, diabetes or other health problems that may make weight loss less effective for improving erectile dysfunction, he said.

In the 2-year study, a team led by Dr. Katherine Esposito of the Second University of Naples followed 110 obese men with erectile dysfunction.

Half of the men were randomly assigned to participate in an intensive weight-loss program that included individualized advice on boosting exercise and improving diet. The other half received general information about healthy eating and exercise, but did not receive any individualized guidance.

By the end of the study, men in the intensive group achieved significant weight loss, along with improvements in several health indicators, such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

What's more, 17 men (31 percent) in the intensive group regained sexual function by the end of the study, compared with just 3 men in the other group.

"Our data demonstrate that lifestyle changes, including a reduced calorie diet and increased exercise, improve erectile dysfunction in obese men," Esposito and her colleagues conclude.

"Interventions focused on modifiable health behaviors may represent a safe strategy to improve erectile function and reduce cardiovascular risk in obese patients," the authors state.

Saigal agreed that weight loss is "a great first-line therapy" for erectile dysfunction. Losing weight will not hurt patients, he said, and if it doesn't improve erectile dysfunction, there are several drugs on the market that may be helpful.

Finally Revealed: Losing Weight With Hypnosis

Lose Stomach Fat - The Unsolved Mystery

By Abi Shaan

The most popular question in the weight loss industry is the question, “How to lose stomach fat?" And "fast?"

Well, it's a mystery that has been dying to be solved, and fortunately it really has been solved. You will need very simple steps to lose stomach fat really fast, trust me, I tried it myself, and I was jumping up and down after three weeks, when I could actually see the curves of my six pack.

You see in order to actually lose stomach fat, you need to make sure, and the overall body fat is low. You probably have heard this again and again. But I am still convinced to say that you HAVE to lose overall body fat.

And I am sure you sure want to know how to get rid of that flabby arms, fat around back, fat thighs, and breast fat as well...

The following simple steps are guaranteed to help you lose stomach fat at least by an inch or two in just three weeks. An inch or two? Disappointed?

Trust me, you will be looking real good once you see results, and you want to lose four inches? Continue it for another three weeks with added variation...

1. The first thing you need to do is get yourself motivated. This can be done by putting a really hot looking poster infront of your bed so that the minute you decide to hit the snooze button, you see the picture and reconsider the snooze button.

Why do I suggest you to wake up early? The fact is, in order to lose stomach fat fast you are going to workout two times a day. That's right folks. TWO times a DAY.

2. Now for you morning cardio. Now you are probably pissed off because you would surely fall asleep while doing the treadmill or stationary bike for 45 minutes. And of course you will be lazy to get into your gym suit and go to the gym, but you do want to lose the fat around your stomach right? Guess what? You are only going to do 20 minutes of cardio or less.

You are not going to be doing any slow boring traditional cardio. You are now entering HIGH Intensity Interval Training. I can give you two options for HIIT but I am going to give you my favorite option. It's called Bodyweight Interval Training.

I chose this option because I have heard many people say that early morning cardio on an empty stomach will take away all that essential muscle mass in your body. And thank god I found about this GUY who actually gave me a glimpse of heaven.

With bodyweight training, you are going to burn very large amounts of fat for 24 HOURS straight and you are also going to gain very good amount of muscle.

3. Immediately after your morning workout, have a glass of whey protein. It is hundred percent natural and not at all harmful for your body because it’s made from certain ingredients in milk. And protein by far is a very important requirement to help you lose stomach fat. I mean it.

4. Now comes a very important rule to lose stomach fat. You need to eat a minimum of six short meals a day. All your meals are going to be between 350 to 500 calories. And make my words, you need to have lean protein on every meal you have.

Protein is very important. It is going to play a major role in losing overall body fat. Lean chicken, Lean fish and whey protein is all you need for three weeks. You want lean meat? Keep it low.

If you enjoyed the first four steps so far, then you have enjoyed 45% of your fat loss success. And in order to drive your car without getting blown out, you need to close your fuel tank.

Motivating Weight Loss

Chinese Weight Loss Secret Revealed

By Jed Baguio

Here is how to rub fat away from your belly:

The conventional methods for losing weight and flattening the abs are often tedious and they simply don’t work, they require a lot of sacrifice and are very expensive, each day there is a new book on how to lose those inches!

Today I am going to show you a simple way to remove fat from your belly-it is a simple 5000 year old Chinese method that tales just two minutes of your time!

Lie on your back to begin this exercise. Put the palm of your hands on your navel then simply rub it as follows.

Use your right hand, then rub clockwise from the center, that is from right to left, first in small circles, then increase the circles until the upper and lower abs are being rubbed when you have covered both the lower and upper abs, reverse the movement counter clockwise, this time the circle gets smaller with each and every counter clockwise rotation until you are back at the navel.

Do not apply force, you want a simple gentle rub, when you get to the navel, repeat from the start again, do this 10-12 times

Your chi-invincible energy is being passed from the hands through the skin to your belly, so as you go in circles, you are applying energy to the muscles of the stomach. That is what happens when you apply your right hand on your belly and performing the clockwise movement.

Visualize the energy from the hands going through the skin to your belly, gently massaging and burning fat off your abdominal area to make this exercise more effective.

This electricity from your hands- your chi- massages your intestines, your blood vessels and your digestive and bowl system.

Fat accumulations are disturbed from their resting place and broken up, where it is passed into the bowl system and eliminated.

This way your stubborn fat is burned away simply by rubbing away!

Another benefit when you rub your abs in a clockwise position is that you are encouraging proper bowel movement. This relieves constipation that is usually causes water retention and weight gain.

So if you suffer from constipation, this exercise will allow you to have regular bowel movements which will allow you to lose those last few stubborn pounds.
