Though most brides-to-be go on a weight loss diet to look stunning on D-Day, they often tend to put on weight post marriage. A new research also supports the claim that couples put on weight once they tie the knot.
If you are newly-wed and wondering what the cause of your expanding waistline is, here are a few answers. Take a look into few reasons you gain weight and take tips to maintain proper diet to avoid weight gain.
Your diet goes for a toss
A bad diet combined with stress means loss of nutrition. So, essentially, you gorge on calories but do not give your body the essential nutrients. This results in deficiency of vitaman B, calcium, etc. leading to cravings at odd hours and lack of energy and this leads to heavy weight gain.
Your eating habits change
Things gradually change after marriage. Most importantly, eating habits also change that leads to weight gain. So, please remember to keep track on your eating habits to prevent weight gain.
You eat out more often
The ‘newly married’ tag means you have the freedom to go out and binge every weekend, sometimes weekdays too! Not just that, you have several dinner parties to attend to get to know the extended family, friends, relatives, family friends, etc. So more often than not, at least one of your meals is outside food which is often rich in calories and low in nutrition.
Your priorities change
Managing work, household chores, kids, etc. coupled with a hazy eating pattern can leave you feeling exhausted. You are likely to indulge in cravings for the lack of satisfaction from your meals and put on weight. One must check on his/her priorities to control weight gain.
You tend to become care less
Before the wedding, it is all about looking stunning which means hours in the gym, portion control, and so on. But once the wedding is over and responsibility strikes, your health takes a backseat. Women often let go and do not bother much about their bodies or fitness. Gym hour is replaced by cooking hour and diet as we mentioned goes for a toss. All these changes make you put on weight post marriage.
