时尚双语:爱情影响女性体重变化

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.

女性的体重变化受到很多因素的影响。有些人可能会认为，这是因为女性工作太忙没时间健身。

也有一些人认为，这是因为女性禁不住办公室巧克力机的诱惑。

但一项最新研究表明，真正的原因只有一个——那就是她们的爱人。

一项针对女性体重波动的研究显示，爱情幸福与否是影响女性体重变化的最重要因素。

研究发现，女性在“恋爱初期”通常会控制饮食，这一阶段她们的体重会下降5磅。

而在进入第二个阶段即“舒适期”后，安逸稳定的生活会让她们放松下来，同时体重也会随之增加。

到了结婚筹备期，女性的体重又会减掉几磅；而生了宝宝后，她们的体重又会大增，只有等到“再造期”重塑美丽身材了。

研究显示，女性的体重在这五个阶段会上下波动约28磅。该研究由英国“体重管理”网站开展，共有三千名女性参加。

Slendex网站的简•麦克卡登说：“我们的情绪和感情状态会对我们的健康，尤其是体重产生很大影响。”
