Dinner Dates Promote Weight Loss
Reserve a table for two: Dinner dates can make you thin. In a recent study, researchers at the State University of New York at Buffalo observed that men downed 35 percent fewer calories when eating with their significant others, compared with eating with their buddies.
“People tend to match their own intake to the amount their dining partners eat,” says study author Sarah-Jeanne Salvy, Ph.D. “Women may be more cognizant of how gluttonous they appear to their partners.”
One way to avoid pigging out on guys’ night: Choose an entree for yourself and skip communal foods like nachos, wings, and pizza, which encourage you to take eating cues from your porcine pals. [source: Men's Health]
