Significant others can make dieting difficult

Duh.

"A spouse or partner can often help keep your new diet on track, but in some cases they just put up roadblocks, a new study shows.

In interviews with 21 couples in which one partner was trying to make diet changes, Canadian researchers found that the non-dieting significant other was usually supportive. Some kept tabs on the partner's eating, for instance, while others changed their own shopping and eating habits.

In some cases, however, partners were a hindrance, the researchers report in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior."

Did we really need a study to tell us that our partners can affect what we do?

More wasted money and an example of how friggin' stupid the system is.

It pays for any piece of sh** wasted time and resources study in the name of overweight/obesity.

Pathetic.
