Lose 5 pounds by putting your spouse on a diet

Trying to drop a few pounds? Would losing even 5 pounds produce you happy (well, 4.9lbs to be exact)? whether so, tell your wife or husband to go on a diet.

Researchers from the University of Connecticut discovered that when one member of a married couple attempted to lose weight by going on a diet, the other member tended to lose weight, too. And we’re not talking about a pound of weight loss, we’re talking an average weight loss of 5 pounds!!

Was that part of some magical and mysterious reason? Not unless you think consuming less calories should be David Blaine’s next big stunt. Otherwise, it’s pretty simple, really. considering their

partner was taking in less calories, the spouse of the dieter tended to do the same, even whether they never made the conscious decision to do so.
