[다이어트]You have concerns about this. We will answer your questions.

Stress can contribute to weight gain while dieting. When we are stressed, our body secretes a hormone called cortisol, which raises blood sugar levels and promotes fat accumulation.

Stress while dieting can cause weight gain due to:

1. Promotes abdominal fat accumulation due to increased cortisol
2. Increased emotional eating behavior due to stress (overeating to relieve stress)
3. Changes in the balance of appetite-regulating hormones
4. Decreased metabolic function due to sleep disorders
5. Increased insulin resistance due to elevated blood sugar levels

Therefore, stress management is very important while dieting. Reducing stress through regular exercise, getting enough sleep, and relaxation techniques such as meditation or deep breathing can help you lose weight.
