And equally important, when we create a sense of stress around numbers — the scale, our food amount, our calorie counting — we literally go into stress chemistry, meaning sympathetic nervous system dominance — which translates into increased cortisol and insulin levels, which in turn will tend to signal the body to store weight, store fat, and not build muscle — just the opposite effect of what we are looking for by obsessing about numbers.

A sustained modest weight - loss of five to 10 % body - weight is associated with improvements in various indices of cardiometabolic health including but not limited to insulin sensitivity, vascular function, blood pressure and lipid levels.3 These beneficial effects of weight - loss can be partially explained by accompanying reductions in adipose tissue mass and dysfunction.5 There is however, some evidence to suggest that energy restriction (ER) alone can confer metabolic changes which are independent to those of weight - loss, by facilitating an acute negative energy balance 6 - 9 and / or by activating adaptive stress response pathways.10

Magnesium depletion can be caused by a number of stresses on the body, among them lack of adequate dietary magnesium; mental, emotional and environmental stressors; some drugs (diuretics, antibiotics, oral contraceptives, insulin, cortisone); heavy exercise; diabetes; gastrointestinal disorders; and excess calcium in the diet.
