A UK obesity expert has analysed why it is that women who move in with their man often put on weight as a result. Eating man-sized portions and indulging in richer foods and wines can lead to weight gain, a review in The Lancet medical journal says. When you combine that with going on the contraceptive pill or having babies, a woman’s waistline can severely suffer, says author Dr David Haslam. “Men are very bad for women really,” he said. He said research showed women tend to gain weight once they cohabit and begin to share meals with men who intrinsically have higher energy needs and therefore appetites.
