The weight loss can be slow, about a pound a week, but the potential to keep it off is greater than if you went on a quick fix diet.

Relax at least 15 minutes a day A recent study of 2,000 women at Rush University Medical Centre in Chicago found that those who reported high levels of stress gained more weight than their less anxious counterparts – even if their diet and exercise habits were similar. Chronic anxiety floods your body with the stress hormone cortisol, which triggers appetite – often for sweets and fatty foods- and causes your body to store more of the calories you eat as fat, particularly around your tummy.
