Belly fat is the place where stress shows on your body. You’ll see hundreds of advertisements for diet pills, diet plans, exercises to get rid of belly fat. But the fact is, your belly fat is telling you that you are under stress. That’s how your body works. So why would you fall for the Diet Industry lies that tell you that you can get rid of the belly fat by dieting if you don’t get rid of the stress??  It doesn’t make sense!

Stress puts belly fat around your middle in a number of ways. It’s been estimated that 80 percent of overweight it caused by emotional eating. That means that when you are feeling upset in some way: angry, frustrated, sad, even bored, you reach for food. Food actually become a drug that you take to manage your emotions. But “comfort food” doesn’t really make you feel better. In fact, after you eat it, you probably feel worse about yourself, which is part of the vicious cycle of stress.

Stress and Health

Stress has many negative effects on your health. Everyone knows when they feel stressed; even children now report that they have these feelings. But when you have emotional reaction to your thoughts, the effects of your stress in your body can actually be worse than the thing you think is stressful!

Stress and Metabolism

Stress changes your metabolism as a way to protect you. A reaction to stress is a normal, and healthy response that helps you to survive a REAL stressor. Just like animals in the wild, when they have to run away from a predator, cortisol, the stress hormone sends energy to the muscles, and shuts down functions that they don’t need for immediate survival. But in humans, stress is more often an a chronic reaction, or serial stress, that doesn’t go away! You get stressed in traffic, when you have a disagreement with your significant other or relatives, boss… bills are stressful, and DIETING is stressful for your body; and it never lets up. Your body’s physiology changes with continued stress. The way you digest your food, your metabolism, and practically every cell of your body is affected by stress.

Poor Relationships

Whereas in the past being with others had a profound positive effect on our health and even longevity it's not the same now. Sitting in front of your “friends” and relatives don’t seem to count as much because people are addicted to texting on their phones instead of being present with actual people sitting with them!

Being Mindful in the Present Relieves Stress

Being mindful of your present moment, interacting with people and taking time to relax and get enough sleep is very important. Yes, conditions that exist right now make this difficult if not impossible for people to maintain a healthy life. But you must make it a priority for you and your family.

Make rules to turn off technology and interact during family meals. Talk to one another. Hug one another. Speak to them and tell them what's on your mind and in your heart. Yes, it's hard to do these things when you're in fear of being thrown out of your home and living in a tent under a bridge.

There is No Substitute For Stress Relief

So do you think that taking a supplement is going to override nature’s NORMAL, healthy reaction to stress and let you get rid of the belly fat? Now you know that’s crazy – it’s time to change the way you live your life.

Don’t fall for the Diet Industry’s lies about pills, supplements, diet plans, over-exercise and other short- sighted attempts to get rid of overweight without addressing the CAUSE! STRESS and toxins are making you overweight and sick. Deal with it, and you’ll feel less overwhelmed, and have a better life.
