Tip #6: Stress Is A Bigger Enemy Than You Think
Stress doesn’t just sap your motivation and encourage you to go for the snack foods, it also increases cortisol which encourages your body to store energy as fat.
When you are stressed, you are programming your body to store fat, not burn it. This is easier said than done, but think about the ways that you add stress to your body.
A simple adjustment is to stop working out so hard. Take a walk instead. This calms everything down and is more needed than you might think.
Even SEX can be a great way to reduce cortisol, which in turns off your fat storage genes.
