Anyways, Ron how's it going?

You're right. Cortisol can stimulate appetite and, along with high insulin, it also promotes fat accumulation, particularly in the intra-abdominal area. That's because the fat inside of our bellies is extra sensitive to cortisol.

Belly fat has more cortisol receptors than subcutaneous fat -- the fat at our hips and thighs. Excessive cortisol levels over time promote excessive storage of abdominal fat. We have found that cortisol in response to an acute stressor stimulates appetite for comfort food and women with greater abdominal fat distribution tend to show a greater cortisol response to acute stresses.

These women also complain of more life stress. Given these relationships, it is logical to think that reducing stress might reduce cortisol exposure, which in turn might reduce stress eating and abdominal fat. But the data demonstrating this reverse pathway is simply not there. The relationships are probably far more complicated than that. For one, not everyone with high stress has high cortisol. So simply 'reducing cortisol' is not the right target for everyone. The majority of abdominal obesity is not simply explained by chronic stress and cortisol but rather lifestyle.

Antianxiety ingredients in these supplements might possibly help people who are stress eaters, if the products do, indeed, reduce anxiety, but they would likely have tiny effects compared with exercise and cognitive skills training to control eating.

eat a low fat diet and save your money. If you do take it.. dont fart. your shorts will be full.

If you eat a low fat diet you ge thte same results. Also this drug prevents absorbtion of fat soluable vitamins. BE aware of that.

Ron, did you fall back into the unhealthy ways?!?

[m2pmd70]

Yeah come on Ron, throw us at least a monthly update.

On the exercise note, is there some trick to jogging when it's cold out? If it's below 50 my lungs burn like hell and I sound like i'm having an asthma attack for the next 24 hours. Yet I saw some dude out when it was like 18 the other day... so from my usual habit of M/W/F, I'm down to once every couple of months. doh

I don't know the answer to your question but I have no problems jogging in the cold (of course I have to dress a bit warmer and all). Sorry to not be of much help.

I'm almost down to 200. I've been going to the gym regularly (4 to 7 days a week, lifting twice or three times a week as well as doing cardio as often as possible) and with the eating habits being changed since I've been going to the gym I've dropped about 30 pounds of fat alone.

[m2pmd70]

Rock on bro! I need to motivate myself to get some kind of exercise. What with slacking off on the exercise since it's been cold and sliding back into bad eating habits (read: buffet) I'm in danger of contracting the Dickeydu syndrome. Can't have that. LOL

Hey Inearthed, Congrats on your progress! I've actually been sick quite a bit the last couple weeks, combined with a busy work & gigging schedule, I haven't had time to do much exercise
But read on!

Well, I've been taking Cortislim for a while now, and it has always helped me in these areas:

-extra energy during the day
-fall asleep easier at night
-a definite mellowing out

I haven't seen huge amounts of weight loss, but I just increased the dosage and I hope to have access to the co. gym very soon, so that will be the start of my regular exercise program.

Right. I do need to eat more fruits for sure.

OK, I attended a free health fair a couple weeks ago. I got 3 bp readings from 3 different methods (2 machines, 1 human). First reading was 144/80, seemd a little high. I waited half an hour and using another machine got 130/80, much better. Then later I had a nurse do it the
old-fashioned way and got a 130/78. A dude behind me in line (who bore a very strong resemblance to Curly from the 3 Stooges) got a 170/110 - the nurse asked him if he was feeling well..."Fine" he replied.

Also got my glucose level checked, 111.


And last night while in Target to get some more ColdEeze, the bp machine came back with 124/82.

Hey Ron, how's it going bro? Haven't heard anything in awhile.

[zeegler]

I lost 15 pounds.

That was 2 months ago.

I gained it back in the last two months.

It was winter, so I didn't get outside much. It's a lot warmer now, so it's time to get out on my bike (the human powered kind of bike).
