It’s not weight gain… it’s love!

A study found that couples weigh more than single people, despite leading healthier lifestyles and consuming more fruits and vegetables.

The study was led by Stephanie Schoeppe from Central Queensland University who found out that this may be because people in a couple are no longer trying to win over potential suitors.

She said that 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.

Scientists believe that couples could also be gaining weight because they eat more of different types of food together.
