Study shows marriage leads to weight gain

People who are married or in a relationship are urged to keep their diets in check as a study has found that couples, having settled into a comfort zone of deceptive security, tend to lose track of their eating habits and put on weight in a short period of time.

Scientists from Central Queensland University, Australia, analyzed data from some 15,000 people over the course of 10 years and found that those with significant others had gained an average of 5.7 kilograms per year, while unattached participants gained 1.7 kg per year, kompas.com reported.
