This is just anecdotal on my part, but my sex drive is noticeably higher now (after 3 months on LC). It makes sense according to what I've studied, higher testosterone and HGH levels and all. But, actually "feeling" it is good. The wife has noticed as well.

Also, in a way I'm kind of embarrassed to say, but I'm waking up in the morning with, well something I haven't woken up with in quite some time! :o :D I feel like I'm in my 20s again.

Life is good.

Congratulations! :D

Maybe less body fat=less estrogen, therefore more testosterone? And isn't it testosterone that pushes the sex drive?

I've noticed a huge difference too. I've wondered if it was from the diet itself, or the increase in egg consumption which may be linked to an increase in Testosterone.

Either way, I've felt overall more aggressive with everything, but not in a bad way. I'm more motivated and way more confident. I feel like I can tackle things voraciously.

You might even lose weight faster now with a little more exercise added to the plan:)

Is that what it is? I thought the changes were due to my turning 30 (supposedly a good time for women). Well whatever it is, I've noticed it too!
