“Fasting Increased My Libido” – Uriel Oputa Opens Up About Wellness Journey, Confidence

Former Big Brother Naija housemate and fitness enthusiast Uriel Oputa has revealed that her daily fasting routine has had surprising benefits—including a spike in her libido.

Speaking with Saturday Beats, Uriel shared that she began fasting last summer as a way to address digestive issues. Initially breaking her fast at midday, she later extended it until 6 p.m. daily in a bid to reset her digestive system and prepare for summer.

“I started fasting last summer but then, I would break my fast by midday,” she said. “It started because I was having digestive issues… I decided to take my fasting to the next level, which was eating by 6pm daily, and it has been working so far. I also wanted to get healthier and lose some pounds for summer.”

The fitness advocate also noted several positive changes linked to the regimen, saying it has sharpened her cognitive function and regulated her bowel movements. However, it was the unexpected increase in her sex drive that caught attention.

“While I’ve always had a high libido, it has increased even more,” Uriel admitted.

Beyond her wellness journey, Uriel addressed ongoing criticisms about her fashion choices. Responding to those who question her dressing style, she insisted that age should not determine how one dresses.

“I am still very young and not an old woman,” she stated. “Dressing well or terribly is not determined by age… When I go to the gym, I wear bum shorts because I love my body and work hard for it.”

Uriel also dismissed those who judge her appearance and makeup choices. “Some people even insult me over my lipstick combination, and I do not care,” she said. “I have bigger things to worry about, like my brands and thinking of making millions in a day.”

She added that she isn’t concerned with attracting the same type of men as her critics. “I don’t like flashy guys; I prefer simple, intelligent ones.”

Uriel continues to document her fitness and fasting journey on social media, inspiring followers with her bold approach to wellness and self-expression.
