An Online Weight Loss Course Promises Better Sex

 

Better sex through weight loss?

Any scientist will tell you that there is a clear relationship between BMI and sexual function. The heavier you are the more you risk sexual dysfunction. So it stands to reason that if you’re overweight, the best thing you can do for your sex life is to lose some poundage. 

Easier said than done. The scientific literature is littered with systematic reviews showing that dieting doesn’t work.

So what are you supposed to do if you can’t lose weight through dieting? 

Intuitive eating or mindful eating shows a lot of promise. Their main premise is that if you pay attention to your body, honor your hunger, and stop resisting your cravings (because what resists persists) then it will be easier to achieve a healthy weight.

The problem with intuitive eating or mindful eating or conscious eating– however you want to describe these systems, is that they’re not actually meant for weight loss. They’re meant for improving the dysfunctional relationship you may have with food. It often results in weight loss but very often it doesn’t.

So we were intrigued with a new online weight loss program that takes a science-based approach to mindful eating. You might actually describe it as “intuitive eating for weight loss.” Called Neuroslim, it claims you can lose weight by reshaping your eating habits.

So instead of dieting, you change the way you approach food. A great example that we were impressed with is the use of rituals. Apparently, there is a fair amount of scientific evidence that if you conduct a pre-meal ritual– like ringing a Tibetan singing bowl or saying a prayer you will eat less and more slowly. That in turn results in weight loss over time. Why? Because a ritual curves impulsivity, makes you more mindful and slows down the eating.

We are particularly impressed with the use of a Kourtney Kardashian video in which she shows you how to eat a KitKat ritualistically. The Neuroslim online weight loss program actually explains the science behind why eating slowly fills you up faster. If you or someone you love is struggling with weight issues you should definitely have them check out the course.
