This Why You Gain “Love Weight” in a Relationship

One of the oft-overlooked perks of getting into a relationship is that you can finally stop dieting and going to the gym so much.

Four out of five people gain what's called "love weight" when they get into a serious relationship. A new survey figured out a few reasons why it happens:

• Eating out more.
• Adopting a less active lifestyle.
• Staying home to eat and drink.
• Exercising less to spend more time together.
• Trying new foods and restaurants as a couple.
• Starting a family.
• Less motivation to keep up your physique.
• Take more Ubers or taxis together instead of walking places.
