Better the early days. Fall in loveOn the contrary, it would seem to have the opposite effect: you lose weight. This is supported by a study by the Harvard Medical School and the Endocrine Society of San Diego, for which oxytocin (abundant hormone in the early stages of love) reduces appetite.
Administered to 25 men in the morning (12 obese and 13 normal weight), it led all the participants to eat less, even in front of abundant portions, and to avoid fatty and hypercaloric foods.
