Donât let stress sabotage weight loss
Donât allow stress to sabotage your weight-loss efforts!
Stress can affect your weight loss efforts by interfering with your diet.
When stressed, you may be more tempted to consume comfort foods which are usually laden with hundreds of calories or those that have a high fat content! Do pastas, cakes and other sugary or fatty foods come to mind?
Alternately you may experience a loss of appetite and thus not eat a balanced diet which is necessary for meeting your bodyâs nutritional needs. This may affect your metabolism and thus may have a negative effect on your efforts to lose weight.
Stress may also affect your exercise efforts by making you feel lethargic or experience a lack of concentration. If you are suffering from extremely high levels of stress, it is best to seek professional assistance.
Take action and learn how to manage your stress levels by engaging in hobbies you enjoy, surrounding yourself by nature (maybe go for a walk) or meditating. For more stress busting tips, click here.
