- belorn 5y agoNote I didn't say "easy". Stress has a massive effect on insulin production and even what specific parts of the body that takes up the energy. Stress is a significant factor in determining if that extra amount of calories is going to the brain in order to allow higher focus, or into fat cells in order to address the crisis that those stress hormones are indicating. Should the body focus on sexual reproduction and growth, or prepare for that starvation which is looming? It all depend. Maybe the ordering above is a bit wrong. Start by finding some physical activity that one likes and want to continue doing that. If you find going to the gym as being meditative then do that, but if it gives you stress then continue looking. Once you found something, try make it into a routine and let it become a thing where you go to reduce stress.
