Chronic stress = High cortisol = Fat storage (especially around the belly!).
Leads to inflammation, insulin resistance, and stubborn belly fat.
1. Chronic stress (work, relationships). 2. Sleep deprivation. 3. Sugar & processed foods. 4. Over-training.
Fat accumulates in the midsection (apple shape). Constant cravings for sugary/salty snacks. Fatigue even after sleeping.
