The relationship between stress and weight is complex and can go both ways. When we are stressed, our bodies release cortisol, a hormone that can affect our appetite and metabolism. This can lead to weight gain or weight loss, depending on the individual.

Weight loss pills have become increasingly popular in recent years. If you take these pills for a year with a healthy diet and regular exercise, you can lose up to 3% to 12% more of your total body weight than those who only diet and exercise.
