Travis Stork, MD of the TV show The Doctors had the following to say about the connection between stress and food: "When you feel stressed, your body produces a hormone called cortisol - a powerful hunger inducer, leading you to eat. Worse yet, that same hormone causes your body to store fat. A Tufts University study found that eating carbs could increase levels of anxiety, so the cookies and sweet drinks you think will help you through the stress might actually be having the opposite effect."
When you feel stressed grab a glass of water with a slice of citrus or chew some sugar-free chewing gum.
