Moving in with a boyfriend causes women to eat more unhealthily and put on weight. But the

opposite is true for men, whose long-term health benefits when they move in with a female

partner.

Dieticians at Newcastle University said both partners try to please one another, and so

change their dietary habits to suit their other half.

It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables, while women

choose to make creamier, heavier dishes curry or rich pasta sauces, which may please their

partner.

Women still have the strongest long-term influence over the couple’s diet and lifestyle, as

they still have the traditional role of shopper and cook in most households.

The report, by Newcastle University’s Human Nutrition Research Centre, reviewed the

finding of a variety of research projects from the UK, North America and Australia, which looked

at the eating and lifestyle habits of couples.

The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their

consumption of foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner.

Women also use food as a comfort when dealing with emotional stress and have been found

to gain weight when a relationship ends, while the same finding has not been observed in men.

Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership, and eating together in the

evening was particularly important to many.

Report author and registered dietician Dr. Amelia Lake said, “The research has shown that

your partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives

should take this factor into consideration.”
