What about stress causes weight loss?

[Tuckervill]

I'm hearing all this talk of "divorce diet"...are you saying the stress of divorce caused weight loss or that you went on a diet - post divorce - because you were back in the dating game?

The stress of the divorce caused the weight loss in my case. In my mom's and dad's case, too, and in several of my girlfriends'.

It could be that I was thrust into poverty, as well.

In my case, it was as if a weight had been lifted. Years of unhappiness had finally found an answer and a solution. And my extra weight disappeared, went away. I was not dieting, but I had lost my taste for certain foods (coffee and sugar) and had gained a taste for fresh fruit. Go figure.
