to transform Your

Relationships

TIP # 1By

Plan your meals in advance with your partner so that you share the responsibility of shopping, prepping and cooking.

Division of labor in the household (and the kitchen, in particular) is a significant source of conflict in relationships, so be proactive and divide the responsibilities in advance.

TIP # 2By

Be realistic about what you plan to eat. You might want to begin with one “healthier” day per week and work your way up.

You’re the ultimate expert in your diet and your relationship, but if you need help planning, consult a registered dietitian.

TIP # 3By

Be supportive of your partner, but don’t police their eating habits.

Research shows that couples are more likely to follow through with health-related goals when they work toward them as a team.

However, you want to be sure that you give your partner some space and leeway to customize their goals.

Just because you’re happy eating a salad for lunch doesn’t mean that your partner feels the same way, so don't pressure them to conform to your standards. And remember that it’s not a contest.
