Melbourne: Tried everything but can’t seem to get rid of your post-marriage love handles? Well, don’t question your determination for the failed plan, for the real culprit behind all weight worries is your hubby.
Yes, you heard it right. According to health experts, a husband is more of a hindrance than help in a wife's battle with the bulge.
"For some women, marriage definitely can be fattening," the Courier Mail quoted Dr Brian Steadman, a leading British authority on nutrition, as saying.
"It's hard enough for them to stick to good eating habits when they're single, but they can find it impossible after they're married.
"For a start, they've got to prepare food for two people, and it gets worse when children come along. Suddenly, she is constantly thinking about food - buying it, cooking it, fixing snacks and meals at different times of the day.

“And if the husband doesn't need to diet, then with all the best intentions in the world, the poor woman is going to find it very tough preparing big wholesome meals for the family and low-calorie snacks for herself,” he added.
Dr Richard B Stuart, an American authority on slimming and nutrition, and former psychological director of Weight Watchers International, the author of Act Thin, Stay Thin, agrees.
"If a woman can't stay on a diet, it could easily be her husband's fault," he said.
"In fact, a husband might subconsciously be encouraging his wife to remain fat, and make it harder for her to lose weight,” he added.
Dr B Stuart has given some reasons as to why this could be so: if he feels in any way insecure in his relationship, then he reasons that a plump wife is less likely to leave him or make other men jealous, if he has a low sex drive then having a fat wife is a very good excuse for lack of interest or potency.
If he's the kind who isn't prepared to put a lot of effort into the marriage, then it will be much easier for him to keep her "fat" than "happy", Dr B Stuart said.
If his wife is a failure as a dieter, it "allows" him to have his workaholic schedule or an affair and there are many other ways that a husband, perhaps unwittingly, can hinder his wife's ambitions to keep her weight down, the health expert added.

North Indian Wife Vs South Indian Wife
*** WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE A North Indian GIRL as WIFE ***
1. At the time of marriage, a north Indian girl has more boyfriends
than her age.
2. Before marriage, she looks almost like a bollywood heroine and after
marriage you have to go around her twice to completely hug her.
3. By the time she professes her undevoted love to you, you are
bankrupt because of the number of times you had to take her out to movies,
theatres and restaurants. And you wait longingly for her dowry.
4. The only dishes she can think of to cook is paneer butter masala,
aloo sabji, aloo gobi sabji, aloo matar, aloo paneer, that after eating
all those paneer and aloos you are either in the bed with chronic
cholesterol or chronic gas disorder.
5. The only growth that you see later in your career is the rise in
your monthly phone bill.
6. You are blinded by her love that you think that she is a blonde.
Only later do you come to know that it is because of the mehandhi that she
applies to cover her grey hair.
7. When you come home from office she is very busy watching "Kyonki
saas bhi kabi bahu thi" that you either end up eating outside or cooking
yourself.
8. You are a very "Especial" person to her.
9. She always thought that Madras is a state and covers the whole of
south India until she met you.
10. When she says she is going to "work out" she means she is going to
“walk out"
11. She has greater number of relatives than the number of people you
have in your home town.
12. The only two sentences in English that she knows are "Thank you"
and "How are you"
*** WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE A South Indian GIRL as WIFE ***
1. Her mother looks down at you because you didn't study in IIT or
Madras / Anna University.
2. Her father starts or ends every conversation with “... I say..."
3. She shudders if you use four letter words.
4. She has long hair, neatly oiled and braided (The Dubai based Oil
Well Company will negotiate with her on a 25 year contract to extract
coconut oil from her hair.)
5. She uses the word 'Super' as her only superlative.
6. Her name is another name for a Goddess or a flower.
7. Her first name is longer than your first name, middle name and
surname combined
8. When she mixes milk/curd and rice you are never sure whether it is
for the dog or for herself.
9. For weddings, she sports a mini jasmine garden on her head and wears
silk saris in the Madras heat without looking too uncomfortable while
you are melting in your singlet.
10. Her favorite cricketer is Krishnamachari Srikkanth.
11. Her favorite food is dosa though she has tried North Indian snacks
like Chats (pronounced like the slang for 'conversation')
12. She bores you by telling you which raaga each song you hear is
based on.
13. You have to give her jewellery, though she has already got plenty
of it.
14. Her Mangal Sutra weighs more than the championship belts worn by
WWF wrestlers.
15. Her father thinks she is much smarter than you.
