Dieting and deprivation have long gone hand in hand. It’s as if there’s an unwritten law that says you must first suffer…with a capital S. But put your dieting fears aside. Author Kerry McCloskey has discovered a more pleasurable, R-rated way to lose weight. And it’s as simple as taking your clothes off. Plus:Test your sex drive…
If you have a big appetite for food and an even bigger appetite for sex, we’ve got the weight-loss plan for you.
It’s The Ultimate Sex Diet (Berkley Trade, 2006) and it’ll give you a darn good reason to add some hanky panky to your diet regimen.
Don’t believe a menu of sensual foods and intimate intercourse for dessert can help you peel away the pounds?

Author Kerry McCloskey managed to shed 23 big ones following this “x-rated” approach to weight loss.
While other diet and fitness plans are defined by specialty foods or pricey exercise gear, the most important ingredient on The Ultimate Sex Diet is, well, sex.
A study conducted by Brown University revealed that people who dieted with a buddy lost twice as much weight as those individuals going solo.
And who better to help you take it all off – the weight that is – than your lover?

Diet-Appealing Sexual Healing
Experts have long touted the health benefits of sex.
Countless studies have shown that intercourse burns calories, reduces stress and boosts the immune system, among other things.
Now, McCloskey is taking it one step further by wrapping up healthy eating and everyone’s favorite physical activity in one titillating package. See related article: A Plateful of Pleasure)

The Ultimate Sex Diet starts like most others – with a two-week meal plan that emphasizes fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, seafood, spices and herbs, whole grains, nuts, and more.
But here’s the twist: It also includes foods to spice things up in and out of the bedroom.
For starters, try the appetizing aphrodisiacs: Oysters, garlic or truffles followed by a libido-boosting theme dinner: Japanese finger food (sushi and edamame) and saucy Mexican gazpacho soup and fajitas.
“This is a balanced diet that stays away from refined sugars and flour,” McCloskey tells LifeScript.
“The plan is very healthy and it incorporates all of the essential nutrients that are important for a healthy lifestyle.”

But what would The Ultimate Sex Diet be without a whole lot of sex?
McCloskey encourages couples to engage in intercourse three to five times a week and double up on weekends. (See related article: Tap Into Tantra)
She also recommends doing 30 minutes of cardio together, at least three to four times a week – whether it’s walking, jogging, swimming, or some other sort of activity.
The benefits are two-fold, says McCloskey: You’re strengthening your body and your relationship.
Get Physical with These Four Sexercises
What makes The Ultimate Sex Diet completely unique are 14 sexy exercises created exclusively by McCloskey. The “sexercises” are new sexual positions that target arms, legs, stomach, back, and butt.
Traditional exercises with a sexy spin, they’re great floor play and foreplay. She suggests doing a few sexercises 20 to 30 minutes, three or four days a week, preferably as a precursor to the main event.

Here are McCloskey’s four personal favorites (done naked):
1. Crunchy Kiss
1. Crunchy Kiss
Lie on your back with knees bent and hands crossed in front of your chest. Have your partner get down on his knees and gently hold your ankles. Contract your ab muscles as you lift your torso to a sitting position. As you come up, lean forward and give your partner a full-mouthed, wet kiss. Lower yourself back down to the floor. Do two sets of 10 and then switch roles with your partner.
2. Bridging Your Differences
Sit facing your partner three to four feet apart. Bend your knees so they’re hip-width apart in front of you. Line the soles of your feet up with each other and clasp your hands together outside of your legs. Slowly raise and straighten your legs to form a bridge in the shape of an upside-down V. If the back of your legs are tight, bend your knees. Pull in your abdomen and hold for three seconds. Continue holding hands while returning your legs to the starting position. Repeat three times.

3. Love Squat
Stand facing your partner with legs shoulder-width apart. Hold each other’s hands in front of you, comfortably but firmly. While holding hands, bend at the legs and lower your butt until your thighs are nearly parallel to the floor. Don’t lower your butt below your knees.
Remain in the squat position for three seconds. While balancing each other, slowly straighten your legs to a standing position. Repeat five times.

4. Push Up Your Love Life
Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Keep your arms at your sides, palms facing down. Inhale and gently arch up your lower back and pelvis. Exhale and tighten your butt muscles. Draw your abdomen in and then press the small of your back and pelvis gently back down to the floor.
Repeat five times, rhythmically tightening and releasing the muscles to make a wave-like motion.
