Couples Who Eat Together, Stay Together

Studies confirm what we all thought. Yes, you gain weight when you’re in a comfortable relationship. But maybe that’s a good thing?A huge study has found that while couples tend to be healthier than single people, they are likely to weigh a tad more.
Following a study conducted by Stephanie Schoeppe, assessing ten years of data from 15,0000 students, she found that couples in happy relationships weigh an average of 5.8kg more than your average Tinder user.
The central Queensland University, Australia found that couples consumed more fruit, veg and avoided fast food, alcohol and cigarettes.
Again, remember, this is in Australia.
And now Greggs does not count as junk food. Kind of.
Schoeppe thinks this could be down to people in relationships not needing to impress their spouse as much as time wears on.
She told New Scientist:
‘When couples don’t need to look attractive and slim to attract a partner, they may feel more comfortable in eating more or eating more foods high in fat and sugar.
When couples have children in the household, they tend to eat the children’s leftovers or snacks.’
Let’s be real though, we’re all guilty of binge eating at the weekends with your S/O after spending £20 on snacks from your nearest Sainsbury’s.
No?
Just me?
