Studies show a clear link between excess belly fat and cortisol, a hormone your body releases when you're stressed. When the boss starts pushing your buttons or you're running late, "flight or fight" hormones including cortisol are being released and have nowhere to go. Our body stays in stress mode, corroding our organs and glands until our systems shut down. Individuals who secrete the most stress-response cortisol also have the most fat on their bellies, and are more likely to experience regular spikes in carb cravings.
