The Stress-Fat Connection
If you matched Type B, this is important.
Your body may not be holding fat because of food.
It may be holding it because of stress.
When cortisol remains elevated:
- Fat storage increases (especially abdominal)
- Muscle breakdown increases
- Cravings intensify
- Sleep quality drops
And ironically…
More intense workouts can increase cortisol further.
So the harder you push, the worse it gets.
The Big Type B Mistake
People think:
“I need more discipline.”
So they:
- Add more workouts
- Drink more coffee
- Sleep less
- Eat less
Which tells the nervous system:
“Threat is ongoing.”
So the body stores more.
This is not weakness.
It’s biology.
What Works for Type B
Before fat loss, you must:
- Stabilize sleep cycles
- Lower stress load
- Support nervous system recovery
- Adjust training intensity
Once cortisol stabilizes, the body releases fat more easily.
Not because you “try harder.”
Because it no longer feels under attack.
The Structured Approach
Most diet plans ignore stress physiology completely.
But there is one structured program I reviewed that:
- Incorporates recovery-first sequencing
- Uses moderate, cortisol-friendly workouts
- Includes dietary timing aligned with stress rhythms
It’s designed for people whose fat storage is stress-driven.
