時尚雙語:愛情影響女性體重變化

There’s a great many reasons why a woman's weight may fluctuate. Some might say it's a hectic work schedule preventing them from getting to the gym.

Others may suggest it's the temptation of the office chocolate machine.

But research suggests there's only one real reason - their men.

A study into the ups and downs of the female weight-cycle showed happiness - or the lack of it - in a relationship is the biggest factor.

The report found early courtship usually brings with it a strict diet regime resulting in the loss of around 5lb.

After women enter Stage 2, which is the comfort zone, when they feel secure enough to relax a little, can put on a few pounds.

Wedding plans mean another sprint to shed a few pounds before the arrival of a baby reverses that weight loss, followed by a reinvention - which again sparks a diet drive.

The five stages of weight fluctuation, which can vary over around two stone, emerged in a study of 3,000 women by UK weight management firm .

'Our emotions and relationships have an enormous effect on our health and above all our weight,' said Jane McCadden, of Slendex.

女性的體重變化受到很多因素的影響。有些人可能會認爲，這是因爲女性工作太忙沒時間健身。

也有一些人認爲，這是因爲女性禁不住辦公室巧克力機的誘惑。

但一項最新研究表明，真正的原因只有一個——那就是她們的愛人。

一項針對女性體重波動的研究顯示，愛情幸福與否是影響女性體重變化的最重要因素。

研究發現，女性在“戀愛初期”通常會控制飲食，這一階段她們的體重會下降5磅。

而在進入第二個階段即“舒適期”後，安逸穩定的生活會讓她們放鬆下來，同時體重也會隨之增加。

到了結婚籌備期，女性的體重又會減掉幾磅；而生了寶寶後，她們的體重又會大增，只有等到“再造期”重塑美麗身材了。

研究顯示，女性的體重在這五個階段會上下波動約28磅。該研究由英國“體重管理”網站開展，共有三千名女性參加。

Slendex網站的簡•麥克卡登說：“我們的情緒和感情狀態會對我們的健康，尤其是體重產生很大影響。”
