I think we should just do the old-fashioned method in controlling our weight, which is just eat moderately and exercise! I mean with all these studies about weight gain and stress, exercise, I think, reduces stress and also enhances your figure! So, maybe we should do less reading on these studies and get out there and move.

I agree , stress can lead to weight gain , because a lot of people cope with stress by eating , as I recall in a article I once read human beings when under stress go into ” fight or flight ” mode and the side effect of this is increased appetite,

This is aggravated by some of us who are ” emotional eaters ” , so when they are under stress they eat as a coping mechanism.

Obesity research is making us fat? Actually it’s the dumb decisions America makes when eating out.

This is mainly because we tend to forget inhibitions when we are stressed and the other thing is that we feel better when we eat and that helps too.

I think women tend to eat more, well I do when I'm stressed.:)

I think this is one absolute truth. Stress is something that will result in a weight gain and if not watched properly can cause some “BIG” problems.

Stress is something that we cannot avoid and I have to admit that I gobble up a lot when I am at stress actually more that stress it is mainly when I am sad.

Shaving can make you gain weight? Man that is news to me. I should cut down on my shaving a bit!

And the point about pets is very true.

I have to agree to that stress does result in weight gain. I think this is because we eat when we are sad. It is kind of a mechanism, we try to feel good with out our knowledge and many people do that by eating.

I think most of the time its women that show this trait.

Yes is true that stress can make you gain weight. Base on what happen to me when I was still working. The pressure, deadlines made me eat a lot and eventually health problems arise. So me and my husband decided that I will be a stay at home mom to be more hands on in taking care of my growing family. and being SAHM feels really good i have more time for my family and to my self. And now I started to slim down and feel healthier than ever.
By the way more power.

I smoke, I drink, I eat heavily but I’m slim only because I never felt the “STRESS”. You are 100% correct when you said that, “Stress makes you gain weight you know”. Nice Article, thanks.

These studies are amusing. People are very communal animals so it doesn’t surprise me that people gain weight together and pets keep you healthy. The other ones puzzle me a bit.
