Getting dumped may be the best thing that can happen to people struggling to shed excess weight.
Getting dumped may be the best thing that can happen to people struggling to shed excess weight after a new study found that heartbreak can lead to weight loss. A new survey of 1,000 people by the diet firm Forza Supplements shows that women lose an average of 5 lb (2.26 kg) in the first month after being dumped by a lover, reports dailystar.co.uk.
And if they stay single for a year after the break-up of a long-term relationship they are likely to be at least a stone lighter.
"Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria said she lost more than a stone and suffered health problems after her split from basketball star Tony Parker in 2011.
"I was so skinny. I was not eating. I was depressed. I was sad. My diet was coffee. People kept saying, 'You look amazing, divorce agrees with you.' And I was like, 'I don't feel good. I have no energy'. I didn't know I was depressed," she said.
