What you eat, whether or not you take supplements, how you handle stress, the type of exercise routine you follow and your sleep quality can all dramatically impact your sex life. Your diet and lifestyle can affect your libido, your ability to have an orgasm and ultimately can play a major role in whether you are sexually satisfied or not. So, if a healthier heart, better energy or a lowered risk of major diseases including diabetes, cancer and heart attacks aren’t motivating enough, here is another huge incentive for changing  your diet and lifestyle for the better!

I will be giving you specific diet information complete with meal plans to help you become your most orgasmic. I will include supplement recommendations to lower stress, help with sleep, improve libido, balance hormones and improve organ blood flow. I will also include lifestyle advice that works with nutrition to help you be your sexiest you at any age!

Each area we discuss will include a self assessment so that you can rate your current condition and identify areas of improvement. Then we will go over the program and the simple steps you can follow. You will discover that most of these changes are easy to do, they just require the motivation and commitment to do them. I promise you that the improvement in your sex life will be more than worth the effort!

To ensure that you get the best results possible keep a food and mood journal. This will help you track your improvement in your diet and lifestyle and identify where challenges may lie so that you can replace bad habits with incompatible ones and make changes that will last for life. All you need to do is buy a journal and record what you eat everyday. Next to each meal and/or snack record how you are feeling, i.e. happy, irritated, hungry, craving, horny…keeping track of your choices will help keep you on track.

Now let’s get started! Your first step is to find out how your diet rates right now. Take the "How Sexy Is Your Diet" Quiz to get a baseline. Then go to my link on Healthy Eating to learn the basics. Then review the Better Sex Diet Rules below and start incorporating them one by one into your life. Each one should become a habit, so work through them one by one and make them a way of life, your new, sexually satisfied life!

The Virgin Diet Rules for Better Sex:

1. Eat less, less often: Eat every 4-6 hours and stop eating when you are 75% full. It’s not sexy to feel full and by the time you feel full you have eaten way more than you should have!
2. Limit your fluid intake with meals.Too much fluid with meals turns your meal into one big stew and dilutes stomach enzymes which can result in poor digestion, gas and bloating. I don’t know about you, but I don’t feel very sexy when I am gassy and bloated.
3. Drink pure water (64 oz. or more per day) in between meals.
4. Eat 5-9 servings from the rainbow of fruits and vegetables to supply you with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
5. Hit a hormonal home run  - balance your carbs, fats and proteins so that you keep a balance between your storage hormone(insulin) and your spending hormone(glucagon) to keep you feeling satisfied longer between meals.
6. Eat within one hour of waking up to crank up your metabolic furnace.
7. Stop eating 3 hours before sleep so that you are focusing on rebuilding those sex hormones and brain chemicals rather than digesting.
8. Ideally avoid alcohol, if you do drink, then limit it to more than 1 glass of red wine(women) 2 glasses(men) in one day and don’t drink more than 3-5 times a week.
9. Eat clean lean protein at each meal.
10. Follow the Better Sex supplement program and add the “boosters” for libido, stress support, sleep support, etc. as needed.
11. Avoid caffeine - try decaffeinated organic green tea for antioxidant support and stress relief.
