Yes, I know that sounds counterproductive, but honestly, you may just be causing hormone imbalances by over stimulating the para-sympathetic nervous system.
Your body may be holding onto every ounce of fat because it thinks it’s in a crisis situation and you may need that fat to fight a sabre tooth tiger. We all know that we don’t fight sabre tooth tigers these days, but our bodies react to stress now the same way it did back in the days when survival was dependent on being able to mobilize energy for a fight!
Do yourself a favor and try some calming activities if stress is high. Things like yoga, walks in nature, playing with your pet, doing a puzzle, having a bubble bath – these things may do more for fat loss than a 90 minute workout!
Our body has the answers when we listen to it.
