Weight Loss Stress/Unhappiness and Weightloss. Possible? May 05 2008
20:15 (UTC)

if you're stressed it can definitely effect your weight loss. Stress hormones like cortisol effect your fat distribution. In the evolutionary sense, stress meant that times were hard - either famine or war. Both are circumstances where keeping your energy stores stocked could mean a better chance at survival. Women are better at storing fat, because in the event of a famine, your body is designed to sustain itself for at least 9 months, just in case you were to become pregnant. Men don't have that burden. moreover, emotional stress caused by lack of support by family, community, or a mate could signal a loss of resources where once again, it would be a good idea to have energy if you were left out on your own to care for your fetus or children.


I don't know what to say about your man trouble, i can only tell you about the science - I was a biology major. But in any case, if you're stressed out, it will make losing weight infinitely harder in the biological sense.

I hope that was helpful..
