The secret to weight loss may be closer than you think. In fact, it may be sleeping in bed with you. Number of couples are dieting together. In fact, >10% are going through their weight loss programs with a Husband / Wife . "It's one of the best things we've ever done together," said one of the weight enthusiast couple. Many couples suggest that they're finding a kind of accountability and support that they couldn't get anywhere else.
More couples follow this trend because "losing weight with a spouse works." A recent study in which couples going through a fitness program together were 5 times more likely to stick with it than if they tried it alone.
Dieting alone never works up to the mark , "One person in the household dieting doesn’t last long," as the other member is never interested in his diet programmed. But doing together works , husband is cautious while ordering during dinner and wife tries to keep it light while cooking at home and very careful to make sure of reducing the serving sizes .
So also while they go grocery shopping together, one can manage to stick to the monthly quota and other can be vigilant about the calorific value . Also keep a track and plan about things together for the week , in terms of eating outside and physical activity. "We push each other and cheer each other on . It’s really collaborative and we won’t let each other off the hook." Weight loss can be a positive experience and bring couple closer together. Behavioral modification and motivation are the two key factors when on weight loss programmed . Hence I believe , when your other half is with you , their is no scarcity of motivation to help you out .
So live life together , what size is up to spouse to think !
