When you start to lose weight, it can affect your family so that they lose weight too.
“Gorin believes the ripple effect may be due to untreated spouses emulating their partners’ healthier behavior by joining them in doing such things as counting calories, weighing themselves more often, and eating lower-fat foods.
‘When we change our eating and exercise habits, it can spill over in a positive way to other people,’ Gorin says. ‘This is evidence that if you change your own behavior, you may motivate others around you and get them motivated as well.’”
Often weight loss is challenging, because you eat different foods from others in your household. However, this study shows that your changes in behavior and the resulting weight loss can lead by example.
If you have children who are heavier than they should be, why not turn weight loss into a family project?
