What
is the strange phenomena where even petite women can claim to loose as much as
20 pounds in only 2 weeks? It's not the latest TV sales supplement or workout
program. It's divorce, and almost 50 percent of all marriages end in serious
weight loss.
Why?
Well nobody is really sure. Everybody
has their theories. Some doctors say
it's stress related. The very act of
survival requires endless concentration.
Other's argue that it's more than simple calories in-calories out. They suggest that something deeper happens.
Lona
Sandon, assistant professor of clinical nutrition at UT Southwestern Medical
Center, says it could be just a matter of better dieting. "If you start
cooking for one, you have more control over what you eat," Ms. Sandon
says. "Some women make healthier choices on their own. And if you're no
longer rushing home to put dinner on the table, you don't have the time
constraints of other people's needs."
Not
everybody eats better. Some forget to eat altogether, or sustain themselves for
a week on a handful of pretzels. Not
everybody loses weight either. There are those who search for comfort in food,
and put on weight, but studies are showing they're really not the norm.
Whatever
the reason, the weight loss seems assured.
The downside that everybody can agree on is that although the weight
loss is almost assured, it's never easy.
