Stress - Weight Gainer or Loser?

[Torque]

Has anyone seen any studies on the relationship of stress to weight gain or loss? I would think it would take weight off, but in my circumstance I'm in a very stressful job situation and cutting, but my weight hasn't changed.

I think a lot of it depends on the person and how they deal with stress, I can't find any specific studies but I believe I heard that stress inhibits fat loss.

stress only adds weight.. I never heard of it removing

Some people respond to stress by eating less. Stress can shut down the appetite. As mentioned, the individual response will vary.

As Craig said, when I was in a stressful situation a few years back, I generally lost my appetite and lost fat and muscle.
