Stress and Weight Gain

Stress and Weight Gain

When you’re under chronic stress your cortisol levels go up, your serotonin pool is depleted, and your craving patterns go higher. So, the more stressed you get the more you’ll crave high carbohydrate, high sugar and high fat foods. If you can limit that signaling of those stress hormones your brain doesn’t call for you to go out and munch through a row of cookies or a bag of chips without you realizing that you’ve went through them, and that’s a common thing that people will complain of, at least in our practice, is that they don’t have control over their eating pattern.


Of course finding ways to decrease your stress levels is no easy task, however, it is essential to weight loss. Constant stress causes the continuous release of cortisol into your blood stream. Over time this causes the accumulation of fat in your mid section and the undesirable binge eating problems listed above.

My free ebook on www.HowToLoseWt.com does discuss stress and some possible remedies to reduce stress.
