We all have a friend who has put on pounds since being with her partner. Is it coincidence or does your partner actually influence your weight?
It's probably no coincidence. Research from the University of Edinburgh shows that your partner has a lot of influence on your weight. Your partner would even be more decisive for the development of overweight than your upbringing.
Your parents raised you on healthy eating and you had to exercise twice a week, but that was back in the day. How you are now determines your weight. Your partner has a major influence on how much you eat, exercise and how your lifestyle is. It is not for nothing that it is so difficult to live a healthier life if your partner does not participate.
