Does it really affect our bodies that much? I know sleep and stress levels affect cortisol, but I swear there have been times where I got fat due to stress and sometimes I’m stressed but I still got slimmer 😂

yes, cortisol encourages fat to be deposited near abdomen to save them from later. whilst cortisol increase appetite, adrenaline according to my understanding will inhibit appetite. So it’s actually a combination of factors? maybe sometimes one is higher than the others.

so many factors - your mental health, your genes etc may all play a role, in theory.

certain cultures, ie. south asian cultures are also more prone to obesity due to evolution.

Even if I have the urge to eat, I usually just restrict myself so it doesn’t go that bad. So many factors
 I think my mental health may also be screwing things up here and there lol
