How can understanding and managing stress levels contribute to successful fat loss?

Understanding and managing stress levels contribute to successful fat loss by reducing the impact of stress-related hormones on appetite and fat storage. Chronic stress can lead to increased cortisol levels, which may result in cravings for high-calorie foods and abdominal fat accumulation. Stress management techniques, such as mindfulness, exercise, and relaxation practices, help balance hormones and support more effective fat loss.
