HCG Diet Direct Cites Study Indicating Cortisol Reactivity Leads to Obesity in Girls

HCG Diet Direct Cites Study Indicating Cortisol Reactivity Leads to Obesity in Girls

HCG Diet Direct cites study published in Journal of Adolescent Health indicating cortisol reactivity leads to obesity in girls.

Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) April 1, 2010

HCG (http://www. hcgdietdirect. com/) Diet Direct cites a recently published study indicating that cortisol reactivity leads to obesity in girls (Journal of Adolescent Health). During the course of the study 111 boys and girls ages 8 to 13 were assessed for symptoms of depression. Data collected indicated that depression is associated with spikes in cortisol levels in both boys and girls and that higher cortisol reactions to stress are associated with obesity only in girls.

Causes for the exclusivity of the link to obesity in girls were unclear according to study conclusions, but expert theories suggested it could be due to psychological and behavioral differences between boys and girls; for instance estrogen release and stress eating in girls and the differences between the genders when it comes to basic methods of dealing with anxiety.

Jenny Boynton of HCG Diet Direct responded, “Experts have long believed that stress and depression are a major cause of obesity (http://www. hcgdietdirect. com/hcg-diet-news/hcg-cortisol-reactivity-obesity. html). More substantial scientific evidence continues to be released every day supporting the theory. Experts also suggest that drastic weight loss can disrupt the negative cycle and result in permanent change to both the physical and mental state of the individual.”

Experts involved in the study linking obesity in girls to spikes in cortisol levels believe that a drastic difference could be made in the fight against obesity with early treatment of depression.
