Q: According to Men’s Health, engaged men are more likely to lose weight if they are doing this. What?

A: Helping plan a formal wedding

ENGAGED MEN LOSE MORE WEIGHT IF THEY HAVE A FORMAL WEDDING PLANNED: New research from the journal Appetite finds that engaged men are more motivated to lose weight if they’re planning a formal wedding. The study also found that men preparing to tie the knot who were more involved in wedding planning were more concerned with their ideal wedding weight than those who did no planning. Researchers say that men may feel more motivated if they’re planning fancy nuptials because it is a classy event at which many friends and family may be focusing on them for the entire day. Lead study author, Dr. Lori Klos, says that men planning a less-fancy affair may feel less pressure to look a certain weight because they see the event as being more comfortable. (Men’s Health)
