Does stress help you lose weight?

Answer 1

Stress affect everyone differently, some people get depressed and stop eating, others eat when they get depressed and thus gain weight. Stress does have an impact on our serotonin levels and that is one of the brain chemicals that can trigger depression.

Answer 2

Not to my knowledge. Actually, it sometimes makes you gain weight.

Yes it can. If you are anxious and antsy you will burn more nervous energy, and also being anxious can cause you to be nauseaus so you feel like eating less which can lead to weight loss.

Answer 3

There are several ways in which stress can contribute to weight gain. One has to do with cortisol, a stress hormone. When we're under stress, the fight or flight response is triggered in our bodies, leading to the release of various hormones.

Whether we're stressed because of constant, crazy demands at work or we're really in danger, our bodies respond like we're about to be harmed and need to fight for our lives (or run like heck). To answer this need, we experience a burst of energy, shifts in metabolism and blood flow, and other changes.

If you remain in this state for a prolonged amount of time due to chronic stress, your health becomes at risk. Aside from a host of other dangers, chronic stress can also cause weight gain -- which is why some products like Cortislim are marketed as diet aids.
