1. Your Stress Levels Are High
The key to losing weight easily is to live a peaceful and stress-free life. The hormone Cortisol is released into the system by the hypothalamus under high stress situations to combat the resultant nervous excitement. A side effect of this hormone is increased accumulation of body fat. It also reduces the total muscle mass of your system thus effectively lowering the rate of metabolism.
Another significant side effect of stress is binge eating. Stress compels people to eat more, it’s that simple.
If you overeat when your system is actually on a lower metabolic rate, the results are quite obvious.
