Do your skinny jeans suddenly make you feel not so skinny? Your boyfriend may be to blame.
Studies have shown that women almost always gain weight when in a relationship, according to the hilarious, new self-help book, Your Big Fat Boyfriend by Jenna Bergen. Your Big Fat Boyfriend, How to Stay Thin When Dating a Diet Disaster, helps ladies who have put on some pounds, due to her “big fat boyfriend.”
Jenna Bergen’s book is a wildly funny account of her own relationship with a “big fat boyfriend,” and how she realized that “you can’t eat like a man, and still fit in your pants.”
Inside Bergen’s book, readers will find:
1.) The hard truth on why you can’t eat like your boyfriend. Not only does he normally eat like a pig, but it’s just naturally impossible to eat the same way and expect to stay thin.
2.) A guide to eating out. Compromise is key when picking a restaurant; you don’t want to pick an all natural, vegan café when your boyfriend is craving greasy wings and potato wedges.
Bergen gives tips on how to find a place you’ll both like, and how to not give in when your boyfriend orders something that would contain more calories than you would ever need in one day.
3. Rules for ordering in. It’s not necessary to eat the whole pint of stir-fry chicken that is exactly what will make you fat! Instead, pick a lighter option and create a small plate of the dish, that way you won’t be tempted to eat the whole thing if it isn’t sitting right in front of you, on your coffee table.
4.) Tips for grocery shopping with your boyfriend. Bergen suggests learning the layout of your local grocery store so you know which aisles to avoid. This way you won’t even be tempted to buy those calorie packed chips that taste so good but leave you feeling fat.
Also, swap some of your boyfriend’s snacks for equally delicious, yet more calorie conscious, snacks that he won’t even realize were switched. He won’t care if you buy dark chocolate M&M’s instead of the regular ones, and you’ll be sneaking some antioxidants into his snack.
5.) How to stock your kitchen with healthy and delicious foods that are easy to prepare and that will please both you and your boyfriend’s taste buds.
6.) A guide to working out and how to stay active when instead of going to the gym, your boyfriend just wants to snuggle under the covers.
7.) How to “health-ify” your boyfriend. How to make sure your boyfriend will live longer and not get diabetes from his dangerous eating habits.
8.) Finally, a list of recipes like “Power Pancakes,” and “Better-For-You-Burgers,” that both you and your boyfriend will love.
Jenna Bergen’s book will help readers stay thin and healthy while “dating a diet disaster.” So, if this sounds like you, pick up Your Big Fat Boyfriend, to help you fit back into your skinny jeans without having to toss your “Big Fat Boyfriend.”
To the readers: Have you ever dated a dieting disaster? Or, maybe you are a dieting disaster yourself?
