@theinternalcosmos: Did you know that if you gained weight because of stress then intense exercise and cutting calories may only be making it worse? When you experience stress the body releases the hormone cortisol. Chronic stress and constantly elevated cortisol levels will begin to tell your body to start storing visceral fat. This fat is hard to lose and can cause some serious health problems because it is deposited around our organs (unlike subcutaneous fat which is stored under the skin. When you engage in strenuous exercise or you suddenly start to cut calories, this acts as an additional stress on the body, which floods our system with even more cortisol, making the problem of cortisol weight gain even worse. Instead, what you need to do, before you can focus on weigjtloss, is to focus on stress reduction. By focusing on nutrition, sleep, and self regulation practices, you can begin to regulate your cortisol, lose the stress related weight and begin to reintroduce weight loss strategies (if you wish), once your body is in balance and able to handle them. #weightloss #weightlossstruggle #cantloseweight #stress #StressRelief #stressrelatedweightgain #cortisolbelly #cortisol #cortisolimbalance #hormoneimbalance #balancehormones
