Study links marriage with weight gain Posted: 02 Jan 2014 04:44 PM PST Of the 1,000 people polled for the study, a majority admitted to growing heavier since tying the knot. For 40% of respondents, weight gain occurred at a rate of 4lbs (1.8 kg) per year on average. While 22% of those surveyed reported gaining 2lbs annually since entering marriage, nearly as many respondents said they gained a whopping 6lbs per year. Somewhat reassuringly, almost a fifth of those surveyed (18%) indicated that they had not seen a change on the scales. When asked to explain the reasons behind their sudden weight gain, over 50% of respondents who had become heavier since their wedding day confessed that they spent more time snacking together in front of the TV. A majority of respondents also indicated feeling less pressure to maintain a slim figure once they had settled into the commitment of marriage. – AFP Relaxnews, January 3, 2014. |
