Is Stress Fattening?
Current studies show stress produces a domino effect on the body, eventually causing weight gain. For example, stress due to a busy work schedule or personal problem might make eating right and exercising low priorities, leading to weight gain. Another theory is that people sleep less when they are stressed out, which causes a dip in leptin, a hormone that helps temper the appetite. When your body really just wants rest, you may misinterpret the dip in leptin as a sign of hunger.
