When one person is overweight,close friends can pack on the kilos. I read on a recent medical study,in which they declared that people can actually 'catch' obesity from close friends.
When researchers followed 12,067 people over 32 yrs, they concluded that those of us with very close friends who are obese have a 171 percent higher chance of becoming obese too. The theory goes: We're influenced by our friends,and if they overeat, we may unwittingly follow their lead. Surprisingly, results shown that spouses have less sway over the belly than close friends of the same sex. The gd news is that it may also work in reverse. So is time to blacklist those 'fat' in our phonelist and start hanging out with thin people and we might lose weight HAHA....
