"A 2007 study published in The New England Journal of Medicine found that if one partner is obese, their partner has a 37 percent higher chance of also experiencing obesity. This happens because unhealthy eating habits can be contagious. If your partner often consumes high-calorie foods, snacks on packaged foods, or eats late at night, there is a high likelihood that you will also adopt these habits, which can result in weight gain."

If you often plan dates with your partner, chances are you will eat out more often. The food available in cafes, restaurants, or street vendors is usually high in calories. Fried snacks, cheese-based foods, and delicious but high-calorie desserts can be the main cause of weight gain.

If you have already adopted unhealthy eating habits from your partner, now is the time to stay consistent with a healthy eating pattern. Even though your partner does not follow a healthy eating pattern, you need to set boundaries. It would be better if you could influence your partner to also have a healthier eating pattern.

The best way to switch to a healthier diet is by cooking nutritious food at home. Cooking together can be a fun and bonding activity, and you can enjoy low-calorie meals cooked together.

When eating out, do not order too much food. If you consume something high in calories, make sure to order one serving and share it with your partner. This will help control the portion and calories that enter your body.

By adopting this healthy eating habit, you can still maintain your ideal weight even when you are in love. Stay conscious of your food choices and enjoy a healthy and happy relationship! Source: FoodNDTV/Report: Aykaputri Amalia Rahmani
