     Moving in with a boyfriend causes women to eat more unhealthily and put on weight. But the opposite
is true for men, whose longterm health benefits when they move in with a female partner.
     Dieticians at Newcastle University said both partners try to please one another, and so change their
dietary habits to suit their other half.
     It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables, while women choose to
make creamier, heavier dishes like curry or rich pasta sauces, which may please their partner.
     Women still have the strongest longterm influence over the couple's diet and lifestyle, as they still have
the traditional role of shopper and cook in most households.
     The report, by Newcastle University's Human Nutrition Research Centre, reviewed the finding of a
variety of research projects from the UK, North America and Australia, which looked at the eating and
lifestyle habits of couples.
     The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their consumption of
foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner.
    Women also use food as a comfort when dealing with emotional stress and have been found to gain
weight when a relationship ends, while the same finding has not been observed in men.
    Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership, and eating together in the evening
was particularly important to many.
    Report author and registered dietician Dr. Amelia Lake said, "The research has shown that your
partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives should take this
factor into consideration."
