On a diet as a couple? 5 ways to do it
Thank goodness my husband is not jealous so I can publicly declare that I have often lived with my boyfriends in the past. And having had an unconscious slimming effect on all of them . Over the years I have wondered why my exes lost a size (a guy even two) and also made new holes in their belts after the first 3-4 months of living together. I gave myself some answers (don’t be mischievous!) And also researching all the couples who decide to go on a diet together, I came to develop 5 rules that can help both him and her lose weight. Together. But with one-off different outcomes.
ARE YOU A HAPPY COUPLE BUT A LITTLE DIET DOESN’T HAPPEN?
Do it together with 5 simple rules.
1) The first rule is: don’t diet. Make love, don’t diet. Do not go to the bookstore to buy the latest book with the diet that is the latest fashion, simply try to cook healthier, limit industrial foods for natural alternatives, avoid always eating out, change habits and make a living more active, increase the consumption of fruit and vegetables, making the dishes more voluminous thanks to vegetables. The results will be guaranteed even if slower, and above all lasting.
2) Woman, he will lose weight more easily (and, as they say in Rome: stacce!):men have less fat mass than women, more testosterone and in general more c… oh well, more luck. Their metabolism is faster, they tend to lose weight faster, and they build muscle first in the gym. Results for women can be slower. It is also impossible to eat the same quantities. A man needs more calories and larger portions.
3) The key word is alliance!The nice thing about being on a diet as a couple is that you can do many activities together, giving them much more sense than alone: walking together every day, gym together, shopping together. And best of all, eating out with friends won’t be the only ones to support you. Furthermore, a partner manages to motivate the other even in moments of despair, while it is established that when only one partner is on a diet, the other tends to sabotage him.
