gasping, not with pain but pleasure. Sounds amazing, doesn't it?

Sex And Weight Loss


Obesity has become a global epidemic. A staggering one billion people in the
world are overweight. A study shows that by 2030, one in 5 women and one in
seven men in the world will be obese.
So, it comes as no surprise that the global population is obsessed with diets.
From keto to paleo and gluten-free to vegan-free, people are trying different
diets and lifestyle routines to get healthier and slimmer.

Clearly, weight loss has become a common struggle among the masses.
People try to diet, take pills, exercise, and even undergo medical procedures to
eliminate excess fat. But why doesn't anyone talk about sex to lose weight?
After all, it is an exercise that helps us burn calories.
Does Sex Really Help You Lose Weight?
Maintaining a healthy weight is important for a healthy body. However, it is not
so easy. You have to eat clean and in moderation. Plus, hours of physical
exercise to stay lean, burn calories, and build muscle is all too much. According
to the HS, you need at least 150 minutes of moderate-intense exercise weekly.
How is this related to sex?

Well, one physical exercise we all love to do (and can't get enough of) is sex.
Regular sex is good for your mental, emotional, and physical health. It boosts
our mood and burns calories. Of course, sex doesn't help you burn as many
calories as you would in the gym, but it can still be effective. Several studies
and research in different parts of the world show the positive impact of sex on
weight loss.

So, if you're struggling with maintaining a healthy weight, get ready to


incorporate sex into your plan.

How Sex Helps You Lose Weight?


There are many reasons why sex how sex can aid in weight loss. Here are a
few of the main ones:

1. Reduces Stress
Many studies directly relate elevated stress levels to weight gain. When we are
stressed, the body releases a hormone called cortisol. This hormone stimulates
metabolism but, at the same time, induces cravings for salty, sugary, and fatty
foods. So, you're likely to eat more bad foods when you're stressed and
depressed. This is what causes stress eating, and as a result, you end up
putting on fat.

Now how does sex fit into this? Sex helps you relax and forget about everyday
stressors for a while. During sex, our body releases feel-good hormones like
endorphins, oxytocin, and dopamine. So, regular sex helps decrease stress
levels and reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression – ultimately protecting
you from putting on extra pounds.
2. Burns Calories
Physical exercise is one of the most effective ways to lose and manage weight.
Many studies show the positive impact of physical exercise on weight
management. Sex is a form of physical labor, so naturally, it burns calories. On
average, a 30-minute session of sex can help you burn 200-300 calories. And
the more intense the sex is, the more calories you burn. This is because sex
works many different muscles in the body. Even the panting, gasping, and
moaning help you burn calories.

3. Same Effects As A Workout


When we are active or exercise, our muscles produce heat, raising the body's
temperature. This increases the heartbeat, improves circulation, and improves
breathing. When we have sex, our body goes through the same reactions as
an intense workout. Our heartbeat races, we burn calories, our metabolism rate
increases, and we work our muscles. So, sex is an exercise on its own. It is
cardio and strength training combined in one.

Benefits of Losing Weight With Sex


We have talked about why sex makes you lose weight. Now let's look at some
of the benefits of sex for weight loss:

▪ It's More Fun Than Gym


Undoubtedly having sex is more fun than lifting weights or rubbing on the
treadmill. A 30-minute moderately intense workout at the gym usually burns
300-400 calories on average. But this burn comes with pain and exhaustion.
On the other hand, sex may not help you burn as much, but it's pleasurable and
satisfying.

▪ It is Easier
Working out, dieting, popping weight loss pills, etc., all require time, prep, and
effort to some extent. But sex is just easier. You don't need to worry about
prepping meals or getting up early in the morning to go to the gym. There is no
need for a trainer or a YouTube tutorial needed to teach you how to do it. Plus,
you can do it anytime. All you have to do is take off your clothes and get to it!
▪ It's For Everyone
From exercises to diets, nothing works for all. From keto, dairy-free, gluten-free,
plant-based, and Paleo, there's not one diet that suits everyone. Similarly, some
lose more fat with Zumba, some with cardio, and some with weight training.
One thing that works for all is sex. Everyone likes sex. No matter the age, ethnic
background, or body type, everyone loves sex. So, this one weight loss hack
anyone can try.

calories you can burn.
