Is weight loss or fat loss sexier?

How do you know whether the recent need to tighten your belt several notches is from weight loss or fat loss? How you feel is a big indicator of where the slimming down is coming from. When you are dropping weight on the scale, but feel weak, exhausted, cranky or maybe slightly nauseous, you are probably losing more than just fat. If you are losing weight through fat loss, you may see the scales remain the same but your clothes will fit better. This means that you are gaining muscle and bone density but losing fat, which is why you feel stronger, with more energy and not fatigued. Yes that's right, fat loss makes you feel good. It makes you feel stronger, fitter, and you will have that bounce in your step, and that added vitality and glow in your skin if you lose weight the right way. If you have people coming up to you and saying, how have you lost so much weight? Are u sick? Then you are probably doing something wrong. What is fat loss? Fat loss, is when you lose weight the right way by losing only fat, and not by losing muscle and bone density. You do not lose water weight and any other minor temporary adjustments. Fat loss means that you are in fact gaining lean muscle and hence increasing your metabolism to burn fat. So what does all this mean for your sex life? You will agree then, that when you are feeling better, and happy about what you have achieved, that translates into a big confidence boost and makes you feel like a more sexual being. But there is more to that story than just feeling and looking good. Fat loss, as mentioned, happens as a result of more lean muscle building, higher metabolism, and higher fat burn. When more lean muscle is built testosterone increases. Healthy levels of testosterone are essential for a healthy sex drive in men and women. Female libido is linked to testosterone inextricably. A common side effect of hormonal birth control pills is that it binds the sex hormones, mainly testosterone and estradiol, which means less desire for sex. Also, when women approach menopause, they produce far less testosterone than before, which is the reason why they experience far lesser sexual desire. The same applies for men in that men who have very low sex drive will do well with a boost of testosterone that comes by naturally with some lean muscle building activities. This makes it important for any one to understand the basics about how to lose fat and not muscle. Just losing weight on the other hand is a result of crash diets, bad eating habits, too much of cardio, and an unbalanced life. A person who loses a lot of weight without building muscle is often tired, pale and insipid. You maybe able to sustain this for small periods of time but in the long run it leads to a lot of physical problems and a low libido is one of them.
