Why is it such a big deal? Why is stress such a problem when it comes to weight loss? When we get stressed out our body releases a hormone called 'Cortisol.
' This hormone is our 'feel good' hormone and one that our body could do without.
While cortisol makes us feel better it also helps our body to store a fat that is very difficult to remove.
For that reason it is important to take measures in your own life to help you rid yourself of the unwanted stress no matter how good or poor your diet is.
Some ways to help keep your stress level down is to partake in physical activities whether it be going to the gym or taking the family pet for a walk.
That might also mean doing yoga or meditation, and it might even be as drastic as analyzing your relationships and seeing which ones are helping your stress and which ones are fueling it.
The point is, no matter how good or poor your diet is stress will always win out, and the only way to beat it is to find your own stress relief that does not involve that comfort food.
