Does stress make you fat?

[jennifer_bloom]

I read 80% of IT professionals have fatty liver disease and I know at least one fit guy who became fat after working in IT for 5 years.

I think it is because their job is so impersonal and stressful, that it makes their cortisol levels rise and their estrogen dominance grow big leading to body fat raises.

I know a lot of skinny people also have stress, but emotionally detached and impersonal stress tends to lead to weight gain and fatty liver disease.

It's not stress that makes you fat, but stress that you do not process, address or filter out.

Our mind body's soul spirit is meant to be at peace to flow with every thing everyone.. when we are stressed when people around us are stressed. Everyone might look ok frome the out side but the inside is chaotic, at the frequency of this universe, other people where we're supposed tothe is way off-balance and when that happens to us we breathe diffeverything about this is different. Nothing is in harmony anymore. So yes depending your body type who you are. Just every thing be comes un balanced. And not working thexway the human body was meant to work. And then we add the foods that we put into our body each and every day that are so bad for us that throws everything off even more and it does internal damage that you can't see until it's too late

Stress impacts how the body handles insulin so yes. Dr. Ben Bikman even talks about this in this video. 1:07:29 is where he mentions it but he also talks about the effects of stress at other points in the video so I highly recommend listening to the entire thing.

Stress have various effects on different people some lose weight because they eat less while stressed some gain weight because they stress eat.

I believe this has more to do with their work style than with stress. Since IT professionals have sedentary jobs, many of them tend to be overweight

I have worked in IT for many years. Sometimes the job can be stressful but instead of drinking heavily I used exercise to relieve stress.
