On a fad diet? Lose weight and your libido
Singer Madonna revealed that her husband Guy Ritchie lost his sex drive when he went on the infamous Hollywood Cookie Diet. Desi medical experts confirm a fad diet can kill your libido. Plus, diets that will take the boom out of your bedroom
Guy Ritchie and Madonna
No one can escape from the clutches of the most notorious criminal lurking on the desi urban food circuit fad diets. Luring unsuspecting victims with false promises of svelte bodies, fad diets ultimately take their toll on you. When you succumb to them, not only will your health die a slow death, your sex drive will suffer too. Two sex experts dissect the ill effects of fad diets.
How Madonna’s hubby lost his mojo
Who? Guy Ritchie, filmmaker
Why? He was on the Cookie Diet.
Which means: He substituted breakfast and lunch with low-fat, hunger-suppressing cookies.
What is the Cookie Diet? The Cookie Diet allows only one meal a day dinner. The dinner consists of 6 ounces (170 gms) of chicken, turkey, fish or seafood. The rest of the diet consists of six hunger-suppressing cookies per day. Together with the dinner, it adds up to 800 calories a day, which critics say is too low.
Why it killed his libido: Extreme or fad diets which deny your body of nutrition and essential minerals can physiologically and psychologically affect your sex drive.
Other libido killers
> Stress and tension
> Inter-personal relationship problems
> Excessive caffeine, alcohol and nicotine
Libido boosters
Nutritionist
Purwa Duggal recommends these libido boosters:
Asparagus: This veggie makes it to the list for its high Vitamin E content.
Pumpkin seeds: They are rich in essential Omega 3 fatty acids, which play an important role in sexual health. These seeds also contains zinc, an important ingredient for sustaining sexual desire in women and for production of testosterone in men.
Basil: It improves and increases circulation by providing protection at the cellular level, thereby stimulating sex drive and boosting fertility.
Figs: They are known to be aphrodisiacs, due to their high content of amino acids.
On the trail of the libido killer
On trial: Fad diets
Evidence: Desi sexologists, andrologists and nutritionists say fad diets can extinguish your sex drive.
Testimony 1
Dr Rupin Shah,
Consultant Andrologist at Lilavati Hospital
The body: Fad diets create a deficiency of vital nutrients and minerals in the body, which in turn causes a significant hormonal disturbance and deficiency, and this affects the sex drive.
The mind: Every fad diet carries its own psychological burden. Mood alterations or depression caused by extreme diets can also affect libido.
Women, watch out: Women have increased chances of a libido loss, since their hormonal cycle is more vulnerable.
Testimony 2
Dr Madhav Pakhare,
Sexologist
Fad diets not only have physiological side-effects, but also cause chronic fatigue and mood swings, which can play havoc with your libido. I always advise a nutritious and balanced meal for a healthy sex drive.
Testimony 3
Dr Purwa Duggal,
Head Nutrition Therapist, Wockhardt Hospital
A body can’t take the stress caused due to extreme dieting and over-exercising. It retaliates by suppressing production of fertility hormones, affecting ones’ libido and fertility. As soon as the body weight falls below the critical point, it affects the level of sexual interest and enjoyment.

2 libido killers you should stay away from
Dr Rupin Shah says mono diets that focus on just one food group, are the worst kind of libido killers.
Stay away from these:
The Atkins Diet
Since most Indian celebs and junta are turning carbophobes (leaving out carbs which are healthy, by the way from their diet) the Atkins is the most notorious criminal. Because it focuses exclusively on a high-fat, high-protein diet, it results in high cholesterol, high triglycarides and impaired kidney function.
Celeb followers: F.R.I.E.N.D.S star Jennifer Aniston. Even Shah Rukh Khan went on a high-protein diet to achieve his six-pack for Om Shanti Om.
The Mono food diet
This involves eating just one food group in one meal.
Celeb follower: Hollywood star Liz Hurley avoids combining carbs and proteins.
