2 major hormones that's responsible for the fat in our body is insulin and cortisol, and of course also estrogen. I don't want to forget that, but usually we're dealing with hormones when we're dealing with like weight loss and reducing fat in our body. So one of the first things that we got to realize that we have to do is make sure that we're not activating insulin as often as we do. So that would mean that we would have to limit the amount of sugar and carbs that we put in our body so that our insulin is not being spiked all day. Kamilah Stevenson.
