Stress eating is a type of emotional eating, which contributes to excess calories and when done often enough causes weight gain. In addition, the types of food people crave when stressed are usually high fat and sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Second, stress causes the body to produce more of the hormone cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone that promotes body fat and makes it harder to lose weight, especially around the stomach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Third, when someone is stressed they generally sleep less. Chronic fatigue causes the hormone ghrelin to rise. Ghrelin is the primary hunger hormone, and causes someone to feel hungry even when they don\u2019t need to eat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For other people, stress causes weight loss, but not in a good way. For those people that lose their appetite, weight loss is unhealthy and can cause dehydration, weakness, and suppresses the immune system. Overall our health is negatively affected by stress.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stress can make weight loss more difficult for many people [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":472,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[25,33,35,21],"class_list":["post-471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-lose-weight","tag-slimming","tag-stress","tag-weight-loss"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shrinkslimming.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shrinkslimming.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shrinkslimming.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shrinkslimming.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shrinkslimming.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/shrinkslimming.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":473,"href":"https:\/\/shrinkslimming.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471\/revisions\/473"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shrinkslimming.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shrinkslimming.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shrinkslimming.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shrinkslimming.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
