After 5 years of coupledom, the average woman can expect to gain 2 kilos, and the average man can expect to gain 4! It's not surprising, really: when we're in a relationship, we treat ourselves to nice meals out and we enjoy cooking up treats to enjoy together. Unfortunately, we also tend to do less exercise and start letting ourselves go.

Find out how men and women differ when it comes to dieting, arm yourself with the facts on your differing nutritional needs, and check out our his'n'hers diet plan and 3-day menu to get you started.
