This Is What Makes Your Belly Fat So Stubborn

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

Shocked and terrified? Wait, don’t go anywhere, still much to be told. Imagine if you are dining with 4, 6, 8 or even more friends, the percentage goes higher and scarier to 69, 70, and even reaches 96 percent.

This huge increase is believed to be associated with the amount of time we spend at the table when enjoying our meal with friends and family.

However, another study published in the journal named appetite comes to show that time is not the only factor. As the result shows that people who spent a long time eating because they were at the same time reading didn’t eat more.

Fix: This doesn’t mean you should avoid going out with your friends. Instead of dining out, you can enjoy other fun activities together like short runs or walk-and-talks. Save the money and stay away from the calories!

Secret From Us

Darling, you have promised your spouse to be with them for better and for worse not for better…and fatter, right! According to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health, our relationships can have a significant influence on our eating habits.

This aforementioned study tried to analyze over a period of 10 years how far could spouses, friends, and siblings affect the dietary patterns. Surprisingly, couples had the greatest influence and the potential to wreak havoc on the eating habits, especially when it comes to snacks and drinking alcohol.

Fix: Instead of lazily lying on the sofa and spending your time eating and drinking, you’d better sign up to the gym and of course, don’t forget to grab your spouse or friend with you as this will help you stay motivated and fit.

According to a study carried out by the Harvard Public School of Health, people can lose up to 6.5 pounds if they are on a weight-loss program with at least one partner.
