Sad truth: most of us tend to put on a few pounds once we start a new relationship. It’s easy to understand why we gain those “love pounds”: Once you’re comfortable around someone, diet just doesn’t seem to matter as much. (Dessert, anyone?) Also, you typically adopt your partner’s eating habits, so if your man likes a bowl of ice cream after dinner, you’re likely to have one as well. California-based fitness coach Christina Barone shares with us five ways to avoid gaining weight in a new relationship.

Don’t Forget To Exercise

Being in a new relationship means lots of nights eating junk food, and snuggling on the couch (pizza and Netflix!). Instead of sedentary together time, try to get some exercise in before the day is over. “Even moderate exercise can’t help get your metabolism going,” Christina says. “Try to work out before your date night, and see if your man wants to join you. Most men love a woman they can hit the gym with!” Also, Christina says being intimate with your partner is another great way to get your heart pumping. “Even kissing burns calories!”
