Losing weight helps big guys double their sperm counts: study says

The battle of the bulge has never been more potent, according to new research that links weight loss with amped-up sperm counts.

Scientists from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark tracked 56 men between the ages of 18 and 65, with body mass indices (also known as BMIs) ranging from 32 to 43 — well above the “healthy” range of between 18.5 to 24.9. All case studies were placed on a strict 800-calories-a-day diet for two months.

By the end of the eight-week timeline, sperm counts swam up 41% in men who dropped at least 8 pounds. The research also indicated that the men who kept the weight off for at least a year doubled their seed tally, according to the new study published in the journal Human Reproduction.
