Default Cortisol? Cortislim? Is this something I need to know?

The latest bang on the radio lately is adds about Cortislim, it explains that if you buy thier product it will block Cortisol, some hormone that inhibits weight loss when you are under stress.

Ummmm No, I am not thinking of buying Cortislim, Like all quick fix pills its either a gimic or dangerous, but... Is there something I need to know about Cortisol, its the first I ever hear of it, and don't remember anything in the Atkins books about it,

Anyone have a web Page that gives an honest open opinion about this whole Process, I am one not to believe add pages, so finding legit medical opinion on the concept is hard, but it might be important stuff to know? Not Cortislim of course, you can tell thats kind of gimicy, but the process of Cortisol, and how it works in with LC dieting...


Or is the whole thing a myth.... Low Carb works all by itself, but it would be interesting to know if stress would be an inhibitter, never thought of that...

Hi!! I've seen those ads on the tv. The worst thing is they are telling you that it's not your fault that you are overweight. It makes the whole thing sound like you can just take their pill and all your weight problems are over. WHen they go telling us that it's not our fault that we are overweight it also makes it sound like there is nothing you can do about it except take their little pill.

I think you are right it sure does sound like a scam. I haven't ever heard of cortisol until I saw their ads either.

Have a great day!!
