chocolates, bottles of Champagne and luxury dinners their dates might offer them. T
he majority of people who are trying to lose weight with Jenny Craig have asked their personal consultants how to survive Valentine’s Day without going astray. The good news is that romance is far from an obstacle on the road to a slimmer self. Independent research shows that contrary to popular belief, being in a relationship can help people achieve permanent weight loss.
Social Support
The Australian researchers V. Burke, N. Giangiulio and their team found that, though people who live together as a couple tend to gain weight at a similar pace, they also achieve better results when they decide to fight the flab as a couple.
Dietitians stress the importance of support from family and friends to sustain behaviour change, which is essential for permanent weight loss.
Jacqui Morrell, Jenny Craig dietitian, said: "Sometimes, partners are reluctant to accommodate changes to eating patterns. In that case, support may have to be sought outside the family.
"Social support can take many forms, depending on the situation of the individual. It may be simply asking your partner to join you in an activity such as going for a walk, or planning your shopping list together. Banning brimming biscuit tins from the house and surplus wine bottles from the rack should be a joint effort. Helping your partner stick to his or her weight loss programme is a way of showing that you care for him or her."
Calorie-free Valentine’s Gifts
A box of chocolates is not the most thoughtful present for someone who is trying to control their weight. Fortunately, there are plenty of other ways to indulge that special someone.
Top 5 Dieters Valentine’s Day presents
1. Roses – just as romantic and traditional as chocolates
2. A romantic stroll by the riverbank or around a local beauty spot – some wonderful together time and your exercising
3. A fabulous new dress for her or a shirt for him – go on, show off that new body
4. Fragrant massage oil – and a long, loving back rub
5. A pair of salsa shoes and an introductory salsa dance lesson – try something new to go with your new energy
