“Stress exaggerates diet-induced obesity” which increases belly fat according to a study by researchers from Georgetown University Medical Center. Animals who were under daily stress and fed a high-fat, high-sugar diet gained about twice as much belly fat as mice who were fed the same diet but were not under stress. Giving a drug which blocked neuropeptide Y2R receptors which are involved in this process reduced abdominal fat by 40 to 50 percent.
