response. That includes how you feel when you are eating your meal, how you feel about the food you are eating, even how you feel about who you are eating your meal with. If you feel the food is “bad” for you the body will respond with stress. When you are upset or in a rush before or during your meal your body will be under stress.
The scientifically documented connection between the body storing fat and stress is compelling. Clinical studies have shown that high cortisol production is

strongly associated with fat accumulation. Cortisol is the hormone released in significant quantities when the body in under immediate or chronic stress. This hormone signals the body to store fat and not build muscle.
