Recommended Reading: "Men are very bad for women really"

BBC News published a very interesting article on reasons why women moving in with their partner gain weight. It was recommended by a friend and turned out to be a quite useful read. Therefore I am sharing it with you.

Among the most important reasons couples leaving (especially the women forming them) together gain weight are:
  • the new found habit of eating male size portions
  • more often meals at the restaurant
  • replacing fruits and veggies with treats and more complicated dishes
  • skipping the daily workout to spend more time with the significant other
  • sharing the house chores
  • going on the pill
  • multiple pregnancies
As obesity expert Dr Haslam concludes, men are actually very bad for women :D. I believe it is more about self discipline and setting the correct priorities. Going to the gym together can be a perfect mix of time spent together and work outs.
