Episode 3016: Dr. Marni Amsellem explores how weight loss habits can create a powerful “ripple effect” within relationships, showing that one partner’s healthy choices often influence the other’s behaviors and results. Backed by research on real-world dieting interventions, the article reveals why couples tend to succeed, or struggle, together when it comes to lasting lifestyle change. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.luvze.com/the-couple-who-diets-together-how-your-partner-influences-yo/ Quotes to ponder: “When one person changes their behavior, the people around them also change.” “Research suggests that weight changes in one partner are related to corresponding changes in weight in the other partner, or what is referred to as a ‘ripple effect’ of weight change.” “When you make positive lifestyle changes, you are likely to influence your partner on these behaviors as well.” Episode references: University of Connecticut: https://uconn.edu/ TVLine: https://tvline.com/ Weight Watchers: https://www.weightwatchers.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
