1-in-3 New Year's dieters are secret scoffers
More than a third of women who claim to currently be on a New Year's diet are secret scoffers, it has been found.A massive 36 per cent of women who say they are watching their waistline, are actually hiding food or eating it in the dark.
Favourite places to stash food - revealed by a poll of 2,000 women - included handbags, under the bed and in clothes drawers.
And the women admitted to secretly eating it while in the car, walking down the street or even on a sun-bed - anywhere they think they won't get caught.
While it was also found the average diet lasts 15 weeks, 28 per cent of women admitted they have only stuck to a diet for 24 hours... some barely last between breakfast and lunch.
A spokesperson for LighterLife, which carried out the study, said: "The problem is growing - along with the population.
"We found 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."
