We all know how influential a
friend can be in our lives. It is true even when you are trying to lose weight.
A research study indicates that
you can actually ‘catch’ obesity from close friends! Weird right? This 32 year
study concluded that when you have a close friend who is obese, you have a 171%
chance of becoming obese! The theory behind this is: You are influenced by your
friends. When your friend overeats, you unwittingly follow their lead and start
overeating yourself.
The good news for those obese
people out in the world is, this works in reverse as well. Hang out with thin
people, who eat extremely less. You will be influenced by them, even be guilty
about eating much and you start to eat less.
Go, find yourself a thin friend
who can be influential in making you fit!
