The penis may come in different lengths and thickness; it even comes in different shapes. However, if you've gained weight recently or are overweight, you may feel that your penis is smaller than it used to be. It did not get smaller; it's just that the body's size has grown to overshadow the penis. You can correct this by losing weight. Losing weight doesn't make your penis bigger or increase in size, but in comparison it can make your penis and scrotum "look" bigger when you shed some fat, especially in the thigh and belly area. It will create an appearance that your penis is more protruding and that it is more visible with the reduction of those fatty tissues blocking the view.

Sometimes, being overweight or large is not just the reason for having a seemingly small penis. Temperature and sexual libido also affect penis size. When you are not aroused or when you feel cold, your penis wouldn't stand up or enlarge, giving the impression that it is small. You can also opt to remove some of your pubic hair to see your penis. Keeping a trim or well-toned body can really add on to your self esteem and confidence about your penis. Before you start to jump into medications or devices to make your penis big, you should start with a lifestyle check and make some changes to improve your penile health and appearance.

The first thing to consider is changing your diet and adding exercise. Your eating habits contribute a great deal to losing weight. Skipping meals won't do you good but eating healthier while doing some physical exercises can help shape you up. You can start by seeking advice from a health care professional and a nutritionist. Keep a relaxed mind together with your body and little by little you will see changes with your well being and with your outlook on that buddy of yours.

When losing weight, you should remember that cutting down on the calories can be a big help. If you can't totally cut down on the eating, you have to increase your physical activities. It would be better if you can do both but do it gradually. It wouldn't do you any good if you get into those fad diets or crash diets. Try looking for a program that suits you and it should be something that you can stick to. Maintenance is very important and once your dieting has started to take effect, it doesn't mean that you should stop immediately. In fact, doing them regularly until they become a part of your system helps give you an assurance that you can stay fit and that your penis isn't getting any smaller.

When it comes to your diet, take in less fat like oily or salty foods and sweets. Try taking in more servings of fruits and vegetables, since they are rich in vitamins, fiber, and water making you feel full. Eat a decent portion of meat and carbohydrates and cut down on the alcohol, caffeine, and cigarette consumption.
