Weight Check Post Wedding

Top Reasons Why Women are More Prone to Weight Gain

1. Less incentive to stay thin once we’ve found a partner. Once you are married you are not hunting for prospective suitors who would weigh your looks before answering in affirmative. Hence, looks in a way tends to loose their importance upon acquiring the ‘married’ status.

2. Post-pregnancy pounds stick around and may only multiply with time. The post pregnancy diet fed to new mothers does more harm than good to their accumulated fat.

3.Eating out more or cooking larger meals and eating the leftovers or for the sake of finishing.

4. Couching it. Married couples tend to watch more TV than single people.

5. Busy schedules of working wives leave them with less time for physical activity and cooking healthy meals.

There are numerous reasons as to why women are more prone to adding flab than their male counterparts. However, irrespective of the reason behind your weight gain, it is every lady’s dream to get back to her original shape, if not thinner.

MG suggests that if you too are eager to avoid putting on those extra kilos, you take the following advice to heart:

Establish Healthy Eating Habits from Start
Once you are back from your honeymoon, you will both want to settle down in your cozy nest and adopt a lifestyle that suits you best. You are bound to be enthusiastic about establishing new habits that will remain a part of your lives for a long time to come. It is hence important that you establish healthy habits, especially that related to eating right from start.

You can start by establishing certain ground rules with respect to your diet and recreation. These ground rules can state the time by which you should have all three meals, how much time you should spend in front of the television, what your daily meals should comprise of, when you should hit or shun the gym and so on. Remember, these ground rules should be followed unfailingly.

Eat Home Cooked Meals
Couples, who are just married, tend to eat out a lot in their first year of married life. This is what proves detrimental later. As far as possible have home cooked meals. They are not only a healthier option but also help you in keeping a check on your calorie intake. If neither of you can cook, this is the best time you can both experiment and learn to cook too.

Make Room for Regular Exercise
Exercise is a must. In fact giving-up your past work-out routine could be the worst mistake that you could make. You must get back to your regular work-out routine, immediately upon returning from your honeymoon.

Working out post marriage can be more fun since you don’t have to do the boring gym sessions alone any more. If you can’t have enough of each other, marriage offers you the golden opportunity to be a part of each other’s fitness regimen too. Discussing your beliefs with each other can help you gain new insights into fitness.

Get Involved in Outdoor Activities
Another way of making your marriage more fun and fat free is to get involved in outdoor activities. The options are innumerable – right from adventure sports like scuba diving and rock climbing to picking a sport such as squash or badminton to joining a photography club.

The idea is not be whiling away time by sitting in front of the television. These outdoor activities will not only give you an opportunity to spend more time together, doing something worthwhile but will also help you burn more calories than you possibly could by sitting at home.

Have Sex More Often
People are sexually more active during the first few years of marriage, but with the passage of time both their interest and willingness to get physical dies a gradual death. While a proactive sexual life is essential in maintaining love and attachment in a married life, it is equally true that sex gives couples an opportunity to burn calories.

It is one of the best forms of workout ever and marriage alone gives you the license to engage in these workouts.

Ladies, don’t make your marriage a compromise, rather set new routines that can help you lead a healthier and more satisfied life!
