Eating well simply for the sake of being well may not always be enough of an incentive for a person to eat the type of diet that we associate with healthy eating.

Is Stress Making Your Family Fat?
It is no secret. A diet that is high in fats and sugars increases the chances of weight gain. We know that eating too much fast food, drinking too much soda, and not having enough fruits and vegetables on a daily basis is not good for us. But it seems as though when we are most stressed and feel tired after a long day at work, the easiest thing to do for dinner is to eat a quick meal that is often unhealthy. Added to this, most of us are not getting enough exercise on a daily basis, or adequate sleep at night. Even though many of us know the facts, we keep asking the questions, “Why can’t I stick to a healthy diet and exercise plan?”, or “Why am I gaining weight even though I am not doing anything different with my diet?”. The Answer: Stress and Your Weight.
