VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Obese women who start to lose weight will also see an improvement in the quality of their sex lives, according to a U.S. study released Monday.

Even a moderate weight loss reduced complaints of feeling sexually unattractive and led to improved desire, according to the study presented at the annual meeting of The North American Association for the Study of Obesity (NAASO) in Vancouver.

"If people experience benefits and rewards from their weight loss and health efforts, it may motivate them to continue a healthy lifestyle," said Martin Binks, director of behavioral health at the Duke Diet and Fitness Center in Durham, North Carolina.

Researchers who tracked 161 obese women participating in a prescription weight loss program in Minnesota found almost two-thirds reported problems with aspects of their sex life when the study began.

Within the first year, the percentage of women who said they had problems with sexual desire dropped to 15 percent from 39 percent and the number who felt they were sexually unattractive dropped to 26 percent from 68 percent.

The Minnesota weight loss program lasted for two years, but health officials said it was normal for the majority of the weight loss to be in the first year.

The researchers said they found similar results in a survey of 26 obese men in the Minnesota weight-loss program, but cautioned that the small number of male participants made it difficult to draw conclusions from that data.

Health officials say there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in North America in the past two decades, and 64 percent of adults in the United States are considered to be overweight or obese.

Actually, I applaud the Gov't on this one. I believe 61% of all Americans are overweight. If that # keeps going up, pretty soon we'll all be so fat, NOBODY is going to get laid and the life cycle will stop.

This study is just the Gov't trying to prevent us from eating ourselves to extinction.

obesity is arguably a disease..

a medical condition no doubt.

obesity is not a disease...that's just what fat people say to justify a lazy lifestyle and excuse their disgusting bodies...

if a lack of motivation and terrible self worth is a disease then i guess so...

i just see obesity as a choice and i don't feel any sort of sympathy for them...

Originally posted by josh4 maybe a medical condition but not a disease you hear things like that from people 'suffering' from the condition as if they're a victim and cant help it. alcoholism is also often called a disease but medical experts refuse to acknowledge these claims. if you think about the qualifications of a disease, the person suffering from it has no control over what is happening to them. when you're sick say with a virus, you're sick and thats it. you can take medication and seek treatment but you can't directly affect the disease yourself. obesity and alcoholism are behaviors. in order to 'suffer' from them you have to physically pick up the cheese burger or beer and put it in your mouth. if you stop doing this then you stop suffering. so all it takes is will power so in conclusion, fat people have no one to blame but themselves. which is why its okay to make ugly faces at them, call them names, and throw rotten eggs. because how else are they going to learn people... how else are they going to learn

true.. im actually a solid believer we should bitch at fat people for being unealthy.. just like smokers.. lol people bitch at us all the time!

I don't remember whether or not it was you I was arguing with about this before, but true alcoholism is a disease. If you don't 'physically pick up the beer' you can die. Your body has become accustomed to alcohol for proper function in a capacity similar to that of air or water.


This is not to argue, however, that there is not an 'alcoholic' that is strictly a state of being.

Originally posted by josh4 wasn't me. that may be true but it doesnt mean its a disease. unhealthy behaviors can have detremental effects on a person's condition. smoking is a behavior, but just because you get addicted doesnt turn it into a disease

Cancer is a disease, and in some cases is a direct result of cigarette smoking.

Hey smartass... the research was done in US by US researchers on US subjets. The only Canadian connection is that the results were revealed at a convention being held in Vancouver. Read better please.

Hmm someone hit a nerve?

Speaking as a former fat kid I can tell you that obiesity is not a disease, it is a symptom of numerous other conditions (potentially both physical and psychological). There is no specific pathology that causes obiesity therefore it is not a disease. It is easily overcome if one is trully dedicated to doing so.... I lost 110 pounds in 4 months... it requires disipline, a good plan, and a good support system but the only difficult part is maintaining the will power to do it.
