Your Big Fat Boyfriend Diet: Is Love Causing You to Stay Fat?

The reason you cannot lose weight is because you are in a relationship, according to Jenna Bergen. The fitness expert is the author of Your Big Fat Boyfriend Diet, which explains how being in a relationship can be the cause of weight gain and ineffective weight loss. While the concept of blaming your partner for weight gain may seem a little far-fetched, Bergen does offer some great tips on why women gain weight and why men can lose weight faster than women.

There is a Difference Between Male and Female Metabolism

Losing weight is easier for men than women, but why? Men have a different metabolism and more natural muscle. When a women chooses to diet for weight loss following the same eating plan as her male partner, she may notice a huge difference in total pounds lost quickly. There is no conspiracy here against women. Women just lose weight more slowly than men, in most cases.

Fighting Relationship Weight Gain Without Making Him Mad

Bergen goes into detail about how to create recipes and plan out date nights with a male partner in the Your Big Fay Boyfriend Diet. Health tips include choosing lower calorie meals when dining out and planning "active" dates that include exercise of some sort. These tips are nothing new and are typically including in other popular diet plans though not geared toward preserving a relationship in the process.

The Official Website and Dieting Support

Selling a diet and weight loss book requires a website in this day of technology and Your Big Fat Boyfriend Diet has such a site. The website offers dieting and exercise tips for women and men. Most of the tips are general information on how to eat less and move more, though specific topics may look at the concept from a new angle. Hot topics include sipping beer to reduce weight gain during celebrations, checking food labels before buying and choosing candy that works for your diet instead of increasing the waistline.

There are 10 chapters in the book explaining how to transform him into a healthy eater and how to order out / in and not gain weight. Recipes are also included for couples to create together in the kitchen. Specific foods detailed on the plan are listed in the table of contents for easy reference.
