Cortisol is the stress hormone, and the body releases it whenever you are anxious or stressed. Cortisol is a hormone that increases your craving for bad or unhealthy foods such as sugar or any other fatty fast food. It is normal for your body to crave such foods during anxious moments which is a reason you eat more when you are stressed.
