Trouble Losing Weight? Check Your Stress Level

If the scale is not moving down despite following a low-carb or keto diet, it could be stress. 

Weight loss is a hormone-driven process. If you are chronically stressed, your body will pump out the hormone cortisol. Cortisol blocks fat loss by elevating your blood glucose and insulin levels. 

In this video, we explain...
*How cortisol is supposed to work
*How cortisol malfunctions when you're stressed
*The techniques we use to control stress in our lives (you can use them too!)
