From insulin to estrogen, here are six hormones responsible for increasing appetite, sugar cravings, and determining how the body stores fat.

Hormones are extremely important for the proper functioning of the body, and they help promote certain functions such as appetite, feelings of cravings, and the way the body stores fat. "Weight gain or inability to lose weight is not just an issue related to the food you eat or how much exercise you do. It can also be influenced by stress, sleep, gut health, genes, exposure to environmental toxins, the mind-body connection, and hormones." Wrote nutritionist Marina Wright. (Unsplash)
