Hi Molly. I have read before that high levels of cortisol (which can

be produced by stress) promotes fat storage in those areas where you

are genetically prone to put it.

Also, after you eat, and especially if you eat carbs, your blood

sugar rises, which in turn causes huge amounts of insulin to be

produced to counter the blood sugar.

And insulin is a FAT STORAGE HORMONE. Insulin acts on your liver to

manufacture more fat, and that can mean more fat cells in the belly

to store that extra fat!! And to make this all worse, the more fat

your produce in the liver, the harder it is for the liver to remove

the extra insulin........rising insulin again.

And...age doesn't help matters either, especially menopause. Neither

does the low metabolism caused by hypothyroid.

The key is to move to a beautiful island with all the money in the

world, bring some loved ones that are easy going, and eat nothing

but lean meat and eggs. LOL.
