No probs, Remember its always best to treat the cause not the symptoms if you are
gaining weight due to stress its best to fix this.
I would thus look at the following supplements instead of weight loss ones all proven to help with stress.
CHAMOMILE
DOSE: Tension,
Tea: 1 to 4 cups daily or as needed (Newall et al, 1996; Weiner & Weiner, 1994; Bradley, 1992). To make a tea from fresh or dried flower heads, use 1/2 ounce of dried flowers or about 3 tablespoons, to 1 pint of
hot water. Steep for 5 to 20 minutes (Newall et al, 1996; Weiner & Weiner, 1994; Bradley 1992).
Chamomile acts as an anxiolytic and calms conditions due to anxiety (Duke, 1997; Weiner & Weiner, 1994). It is likely that the sedative effects for which chamomile is popular are actually due to the glycosides luteolin and apigenin, which aid relaxation and to the anti-spasmodic effects of the flavonoid content of the plant (Brinker, 1995). Studies have shown that the inhalation of chamomile essential oil can improve mood; the species of chamomile was not specified; however, it was thought to be the Roman variety (Chamaemelun nobile) (Roberts & Williams, 1992).
LEMON BALM
Infusion: 1.5 to 4.5 grams (2 to 3 teaspoons) herb per cup of tea several times daily are taken orally (Anon, 1994). Hot, but not boiling, water should be used to prepare the infusion to avoid loss of volatile oils (Weiss, 1985). Steep the infusion in a covered container to further lessen loss of volatile constituents.
Tea: Place 1.5 to 2 grams of finely chopped leaf, add boiling water and allow to stand for 5 to 10 minutes, then pass through a strainer (Bisset, 1994).
double-blind study found that a lemon balm extract significantly reduced symptoms of anxiety, palpitations, and restlessness when compared to placebo (Buechner et al, 1974).
Another double-blind study found a combination of valerian root extract and lemon balm to be equally as effective as triazolam (Halcion). This extract contained 160 milligrams (mg) of valerian and 80 mg of lemon balm per tablet. A total of 20 male and female volunteers were randomized to take the valerian/lemon balm combination (2 tablets), triazolam, or placebo at bedtime for 9 consecutive nights (Dressing et al, 1992
KOREAN GINSENG
Dry root: 500 milligrams to 2 grams (ABDA-Datenbank, 1997; Schulz & Haensel, 1996; Ryu & Chien, 1995). Preparation of root: Put one half teaspoon of powdered root in a cup of water, bring to a boil, and simmer gently 10 minutes. Drink 3 cups a day (Hoffman, 1983).
Solid extract: 200 to 600 milligrams (Schulz & Haensel, 1996).
Tea: One cup of tea 1 to 3 times daily for 3 to 4 weeks (ABDA-Datenbank, 1997).
Studies done in the 1950s often showed that ginseng has the ability to improve mental abilities, stamina, and endurance (Brekhman, 1967).
Ginseng administration may have a normalizing effect on the body by increasing its natural resistance to physical, chemical, or biological stress without impairing physiological function. Ginseng is used to improve feelings of fatigue and weakness and to increase concentration and stamina, as well as during convalescence (Siegel, 1979).
VALERIAN
DOSE: For mild-to-moderate sleeping disorders, extract: 400 to 900 milligrams before retiring
a double-blind study, 48 volunteers were placed under an experimental "social stress" condition. Volunteers were randomly given a placebo, valerian, propranolol, or a combination. A low dose of valerian root (100 milligrams) demonstrated no apparent sedative effects, but subjective feelings on somatic arousal were reduced, supporting a hypothetical thymoleptic effect. Propranolol reduced both the physiological and psychic activation in the stress situation
Clinical trials have demonstrated that valerian extract is effective in the treatment of mild-to-moderate sleeping disorders and states of restlessness and tension
There are many more you can investigate hope this helps
