Stress can take a major toll on our weight issues. Cortisol is the stress hormone which directly affects fat storage and weight gain in stressed individuals. Cortisol is associated with overeating, craving high caloric fatty, and sugary foods, and relocating fat from the circulation and storage depots to the abdominal area.
