The Libido Diet For Men

Use this diet in conjunction with the Sexuality For Men Kit for optimum results:

Start off with a 24-hour detox.

  • Use a zinc-rich spirulina protein drink to boost your energy and cleanse your body of gland-clogging toxins.
  • Drink a quart of V-8 juice or Knudsen's VERY VEGGIE juice throughout the day. Drink at least 6 glasses during the 16 waking hours. (Alternate the juice with 8 oz. glasses of water.) Have 1 to 2 fresh apples if desired.

Then, make and take the following "potent-C" energy drink every morning for 3 months:

For 4 drinks, blend in the blender:
    1 cup sliced strawberries
    1 banana
    1 cup papaya chunks
    1 cup pineapple/coconut juice
    1 cup amazake rice drink
    2 tbsp. honey
    2 tbsp. toasted wheat germ
    2 tbsp. pumpkin seeds
    2 tbsp. lecithin
    2 tbsp. nutritional yeast
    1 egg
    1 tbsp. sesame seeds
    2 tsp. vanilla

Make sure you have one meal a day with plenty of vegetable protein.

  • Protein deficiency is often implicated in low male potency. You have a lot of good choices. My favorite protein sources for men are black beans and rice (highly absorbable, full of B-vitamins, alkalizing for a too-acid system) steamed vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, kale and chard (lower cholesterol deposits) sprouts (full of enzymes) nuts and seeds (rich in zinc) seafoods of all kinds (heart-protecting) and turkey (low-fat, stress-reducing).

Have one large, fresh green salad each day, with plenty of lettuce, cucumber, carrots and tomatoes.

  • Use 2 tbsp. of a fresh tomato dressing. Greens keep your insides swept clean; and tomatoes are known for their prostate-protecting lycopene.

Add fava beans to your diet.

  • Fava beans have high concentrations of L-Dopa. Dopamine is intimately associated with sex drive in men. One 16 oz. can is almost a prescription dose.

Have a zinc-rich meal every day.

  • Promise yourself some food from the sea every day. Fish and seafoods also provide essential fatty acids to protect your heart and improve circulation. Or have 2 handfuls of pumpkin or sunflower seeds or nuts; or a cup of peas or beans. If you like liver, it's rich in zinc. If you like toasted wheat germ, sprinkle a tablespoonful on your cereal, salad or a soup for more zinc.

The foods a man avoids are as important as the foods he eats.

  • Many men tend to overeat fried, fatty foods. Some experts think the tendency stems from a man's large needs for energy and strength. Fat may be a source of energy, but fried fatty foods make sex less likely -- and less enjoyable. Tests show that a man's testosterone levels drop precipitously after a high fat meal. When testosterone is low, both a man's interest in sex and his sensory nerve response are reduced.
  • Fatty meals are difficult to digest and contribute to clogged arteries. This hampers blood flow to the brain... and a man's sex organs. High fat foods usually have lots of salt and sugar, which clearly add a burden to your heart and weight -- and, thus, your sex drive.
  • Avoid red meats, too. Two main reasons: Red meat animals, like cattle and hogs, are often injected with estrogens. Prepared meats, like luncheon meats, contain nitrates that can reduce libido.

Supplements can enhance your sexual experience.

    Vitamins and minerals can shore up any nutrient deficiencies that may be affecting your sex life:

  • Vitamin E helps reduce the likelihood of plaque on your arteries. Improved blood flow helps a man achieve arousal and experience stronger orgasms. Vitamin E also enhances sperm production and the sperms' ability to find and impregnate the egg.
  • Vitamin C and E are antioxidants that reduce free radical damage to glands and sex organs. Vitamin C particularly helps against sperm agglutination (sticky sperm). Take about 3,000 to 5,000 mg. daily of vitamin C for two to three months at a time.
  • Magnesium protects your cardiovascular system and relaxes the smooth muscles of the blood vessel walls, allowing better blood flow to the penis.
  • L-Tyrosine -- Besides being an effective source of quick energy for the brain, tyrosine converts to the amino acid L-Dopa. This has proven to increase libido. It also helps reduce appetite and body fat in a weight loss diet.
  • Essential fatty acids are a key to a man's sexual health. Fats are the material from which the body produces hormones. Best sources of fatty acids: sesame seeds; almonds; sea greens; bee pollen; royal jelly; cantaloupe; spinach; watercress; rice.
