While research is conflicting and ongoing, that hasn\u2019t stopped wild claims with varying levels of proof from circulating, including an argument over whether or not low-carb diets are bad news for your libido. The topic is complicated and highlights how complex our sex drives and sexual health really are.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How Do Low-Carb Diets Work?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a number of different approaches to low-carb diets. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK499830\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ketogenic diet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (keto for short) cuts carbs almost completely in favor of a high fat and moderate protein diet. Others will modify diets to reduce or eliminate the carbohydrates in them as much as possible or a proven but naturally low-carb eating plan like the Mediterranean diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you make extensive changes to your diet, talk to your doctor about your needs and your goals. You should also pair it with an exercise plan and have a long-term approach in mind. Also, remember that everyone\u2019s body is different. There is no one best diet; one that works for someone else may not be the best choice for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Low-Carb Diets for Men: Good or Bad for the Bedroom?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any argument on the internet, this one breaks down into two sides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first side, advocated by people on these low-carb diets, will point to studies like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4271636\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this one from 2014 <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that found increased testosterone in men on a keto-like diet. They\u2019ll also point out that your body uses lipids like cholesterol to build testosterone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other side will cite other studies, including <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7911670\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this one<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that have found just the opposite and point out that we need carbohydrates to build various other hormones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth is that the big, broad studies just haven\u2019t been done. Almost all research we found for and against was of very small samples and with specific groups, like bodybuilders or male college students. But there\u2019s a bigger problem with both arguments: Neither really understands how your body makes and distributes testosterone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Low-Carb Diets And Testosterone: Is There Any Effect?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2.jpeg-12_11zon-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32831\" title=\"Fried bacon and eggs\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2.jpeg-12_11zon-1.jpg\" alt=\"Fried bacon and eggs\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2.jpeg-12_11zon-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2.jpeg-12_11zon-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is true that extremely low testosterone <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25097095\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can affect your sex drive<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Yet, the body doesn\u2019t just wildly produce testosterone whenever you give it enough fat, either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Testosterone is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK526128\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tightly regulated by the body<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which has a specific use for most of it, binding it to tissues as a reserve, what\u2019s called bound testosterone. What little remains, called free testosterone, is what helps regulate things like muscle building and your sex drive. Your body generally tries to maintain a specific level of free testosterone, which slowly declines as we age.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are specific things you can do to increase your free testosterone, adding more cholesterol to your diet isn\u2019t one of them. In fact, another study proponents of either side of this argument are unlikely to bring up <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7662710\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">found no change in the hormones of men<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on a weight-lifting regimen, regardless of their diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nor does adjusting testosterone instantly fix issues like ED. One study of men with hypogonadism, or exceptionally low testosterone production, found that even when they had their free testosterone supplemented, it <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1476110\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wasn\u2019t a bulletproof cure<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a noticeable effect, but the relationship between low-carb diets and libido is more about why you diet than what you eat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Weight Loss Increases Your Sex Drive<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.jpeg-11_11zon-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32830\" title=\"Man with digestive issues\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.jpeg-11_11zon-1.jpg\" alt=\"Man with digestive issues\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.jpeg-11_11zon-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3.jpeg-11_11zon-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We tend to view sexual desire in men as a matter of flipping the right switch or filling a meter. Sexual desire is complex, tied to our physical, mental, and emotional well-being.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, weight loss <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6771291\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tends to improve libido in men<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and it doesn\u2019t matter how that weight loss happens. A change in diet, more physical activity, or bariatric surgery \u2014 anything that brings down your weight tends to bring up your sex drive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weight loss is also key to managing a number of chronic conditions that affect your libido, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Less weight means your body doesn\u2019t have to work as hard at rest, carry as much weight on its joints, or otherwise spend as much energy to function, so it can turn to other pursuits. Weight loss is part of the \u201cbig four\u201d lifestyle changes that help with ED for this reason, along with quitting smoking, regular physical activity, and reducing your alcohol intake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s also a psychological side to losing weight and libido. With healthy weight loss, you\u2019re making goals, being proactive, and probably feeling good that you\u2019re looking better. That sense of well-being can help lift the stress you might be feeling over your weight and help put you in the mood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a deeper level, conditions like obesity tend to go hand in hand with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7449839\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">depression<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which can affect libido and even cause sexual dysfunction. Losing weight isn\u2019t a magic cure for mental health concerns, but if you\u2019re struggling with your body image or your overall condition, observable progress can help with the emotional side of low libido and ED.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Low-Carb Diets For Men Aren\u2019t The Only Weight Loss Option<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/4.jpeg-5_11zon-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32829\" title=\"Man lifting weights while holding a glass of milk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/4.jpeg-5_11zon-1.jpg\" alt=\"Man lifting weights while holding a glass of milk\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/4.jpeg-5_11zon-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/4.jpeg-5_11zon-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">None of this should be taken as saying low-carb diets aren\u2019t worth it. Depending on your lifestyle, diet plan, and exercise level, some form of low-carb diet might well be worth pursuing. That said, they aren\u2019t for everyone, and there are other options that may work better for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may want to consider the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/test-kits\/weight-loss-test\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plenity weight loss device<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a new way to lose weight that has been cleared by the FDA for anybody with a BMI over 25.
