A large number of women secretly eat food that is bad for them in order to conceal their diet habits from others, according to a study. Research by LighterLife revealed that 36 per cent of female dieters confessed to hiding food or eating in the dark so that friends and family do not catch them in the act of eating unhealthily. Women were also found to keep their junk food in secret and personal places such as their handbags, under the bed and in clothes drawers. Women dieters also admitted to taking any opportunity to eat junk food as some said they eat naughty foods in the car, whilst walking down the street or even while in the middle of using a sun bed. The study of two thousand 16-to-65 year-olds found that 85 per cent of women said they have been on a diet in an attempt to lose weight, which was an increase of 24 per cent compared with the same survey four years ago. A LighterLife spokesperson said: "We are shocked just how much the desperation levels have soared compared with the same poll four years ago." The LighterLife study discovered that modern women are finding it hard to control their appetites as 36 per cent have thrown away food to stop themselves eating it because they are worried about putting on weight. Struggling with a diet has also resulted in women being deceitful with their loved ones as 46 per cent have confessed to lying about their eating habits with their husbands, 45 per cent with their mothers and 24 per cent with their best friends. Four in ten women said that they avoided telling the truth because they felt ashamed of the food that they were eating and 39 per cent said that they knew what they were consuming was the unhealthy option. The spokesperson added: "Four in ten have faced temptation witnessing their husband eat something delicious in front of them and a quarter have been invited out to a swanky restaurant for dinner. "But if you do want your partner to lose weight, keep a close eye on them around 11am and 3pm, which emerged as the peak secret-snacking time." Women who want to know how to lose weight fast may be interested in diet products such as t5 slimming pills and t5 fat burners as they contain ingredients which act as appetite suppressants. Combining weight loss products with a balanced diet and a healthy exercise regime is the most effective way to lose weight in the long term, according to research by the University of Liverpool.
