I am going to try to lose 17 lbs in the next 6-8 weeks. Already I'm on my treadmill for an hour 5 days a week and I spend 30" lifting weights about 3 times a week. My downfall has always been the types and amount of non-healthy foods I eat. It seems like when I try some type of diet pill I usually do much better dropping the pounds and paying attention to what I'm eating.
I just bought some cortislim and took my first pill with breakfast and the second with lunch and already felt more energetic and my appetite seems to be down. Has anyone else had good success with this Cortislim product?

hi,
i do not have so much experience in using cortislim, but i know about this pills as my friend have generally using it. the thing to be noted here about cortislim is that-Cortisol is the body's main stress hormone, and is required for many vital purposes -- proper glucose metabolism, blood pressure, immune function and inflammatory response are a few. In times of stress, either mental or physical, the body can produce an excessive amount of cortisol. At these high levels, cortisol is a nasty little number indeed. It can negatively affect cognitive performance, suppress thyroid function, foster blood sugar imbalances and the subsequent deposition of body fat, decrease bone density, as well as other things.
it is safer site but you should take it with proper consult with the doctor.
apert from that you should be caring about your food , i mean that you should not take such food that might consumed more calorie.
last week, i visited a site where i got a lot of information on weight loss tips and information about various diet pills that may proved to be benefecial in losing weight.
i am refering you this site, so that you can find more about weight loss tips and diet pills.
here you can visit xxx for more information about weight loss.

*sigh* .... diet pills. ok, answere this: if diet pills really worked for BOTH short AND LONG TERM effects... would america be the fattest nation? no. cause the truth is - diet pills are a load of ****. they dont work, if they did - no one in america would be fat. cause everyone and their brother has tried diet pills at one time or another!
lets face it - the only true way to lose wieght and lose it for good is LIFESTYLE.
you must change your lifestlye to be a healthier one. (one that does not include diet pills) you say you are working out - awsome job! keep it up! thats one huge step in the right direction! as for eating habbits.. start slow. say, you want to eat more vegitables. so lets say you are eating one serving a day now, maybe put it up to 2 servings a day. or, maybe you are a junk food kind of person - tell yourself that every other day you can have a little treat, and slowly make it into once a week, then twice a month... see what i mean? ease yourself into a lifestlye change and it wont seem so impossible or overwhelming... but please reconsider taking the pills - they mess up your metabolism, some mess it up to a point where once you get off them - your met. and slower becasue your body came to depend on the pill for a metabolism. also - the stimulants in them mess around with your heart and neurological system...PLUS they are only a short term thing. like you said - you only eat better when you are on a pill. you need to slowly train yourself to eat better even when you are not on a pill. if you lose all the weight via pill - theres absolultly no guarentee you'll keep it off once you stop taking the pills.... you dont want to take them for the rest of your life do you? that would suck!
one more thing.. sorry to be ranting at you, i dont mean it in that way. you say you want 17 pounds gone in 6-8 weeks. doing it in 6 weeks would be flat out unhelathy, 8 weeks would be loseing 2 pounds a week. thats the upper limit of whats considered "safe weightless" personally, i think 1 to 1.5 pounds a week is better. remeber: the slower the weight comes off - the greater your chances for keeping it off for good is! (rapid weight loss NEVER works! never enver!)

| I've never taken corti-slim but I am a fan of the diet pill. Over the last two years I've lost a total of 100 pounds and hope to lose about 30 more--I flip flop on the pills and take breaks between bottles. As long as your listening to your body and not making yourself sick, that is all that matters.

I saw a TV ad just last night bragging about how much weight you can lose with a diet pill, but the ad quietly snuck in that you also had to eat well and exercise.
That's the part I never get. If you can eat well and exercise, why do you need a pill?
They just want you to hear the part about the pill... the magic diet pill.
Of course what I always wonder is if they worked why wouldn't EVERYONE use them. Could their success be kept a secret? Would the even need to advertise?

| Well-I try to eat right (and do pretty ok) and I excercise 4 to 5 times a week. I take diet pills mostly for the caffiene--I dont drink coffee or tea and I rather not drink sodas. I noticed that my heartrate while working out was decreasing-which means that I am becoming more in shape but I wasn't sure whether I was burning the same amount of calories--I always try to keep my excercising heartrate somewhere around 170-180--- but it dropped to around 165--I honestly dont know the long term effects involved but I know that being 150lbs over weight can't be too healthy either. Once I reach my goal weight- I'll continue with my sensible meals and excercise regime but I'll probably stop taking the pills.

Hi again Green Apple,
It's hard for me to accept that taking any kind of diet pill could be good for you, and I worry that if you need them to lose weight you will need them to keep it off.
But I must admit that you have a point... it can't be healthy to be 150 lb overweight, either. And you have certainly thought things out. I mean it's not like you're looking for the "miracle cure" diet pill that fixes everything automatically... whatever you eat.
Just keep in mind that in the long run the answer will be to learn to eat well, and get off the pills as soon as you can.
Just my two cents... I'm not an expert. Just someone else who has struggled with food. (Please read the disclaimer at the bottom of the page.)
Best wishes,
Peter

| Thanks for your input- I'm not denying the un-healthiness of using drugs but right now I feel as though they are helping me. I understand and have accepted that my weight will always be an issue for me--my own personal albatross and I'll have to work hard to be the healthiest me I can be.

Green Apple -
Reading your post made me wince! If you're exercising at around 180 bpm, you're more likely to be burning muscle than fat!
Do yourself a favour and try to work out a more 'scientific' work-out heartrate.
- Check your resting pulse first thing in the morning and make a note.
- find your approximate maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220.
- Subtract your resting pulse from your max pulse and get your 'reserve' heart rate.
- Calculate 65% of your reserve heart rate (by multiplying it by 0.65).
- Add your resting pulse to that last figure and you've got a good target heartrate for fat loss.
As an example: Let's say I have a resting pulse of 60, and I'm 50 years old.
220 - 50 = 170 (max heartrate).
170 - 60 = 110 (subtracting resting pulse)
110 x 0.65 = 71.5
71.5 + 60 = 131.5. (adding resting pulse to give target heartrate)
So the low 130s would be a good area for my exercise pulse rate.
As you shed pounds and get fitter, you could change that 65% figure to 70% (ie multiply by 0.7 instead of 0.65).
But, at the moment, you're flat-out doing it the wrong way, I fear. (And probably putting yourself in danger, unless you've cleared your present approach with your physician).
I'll be happy to work this out for you if you're unsure. Just post the relevant details here.
Hope this helps,
NevD

Nevd,
I've never seen anyone take resting heart rate into account!
I always see those charts at the gym that tell you how high to get your heart rate but they are based on age only.
When I ran marathons my resting rate was 36, and I always thought it would kill me to get it as high as the charts say!

Yes, Peter -
Those charts are so general they're probably dangerous.
The trouble with that sort of vague approach - and all of these 'one-size-fits-all' diets - is that they take no account of individual differences or needs.
That's why it's important to work out from the start what's right for you - and then keep monitoring it.
It wasn't until I tried that kind of approach that I got anywhere with losing body fat. And believe me, over the years, I'd cardio-ed myself to a standstill, all to no great effect!

| Yeah-I'm definately going to calculate where I should be- because I've been using the charts on the machines at the gym. I'm kind of excited about possibly seeing better results.

Hi nevd
I found your formula on heartrate interesting. I did the calculations and based on what I calculated, I am doing something right. How long should I work out at this heartrate of 129.5 (calculation results)?

The reason I use them is that I have tried unsuccessfully, for a few years, really wanting to loose weight but I was contantly thinking about food I was always hungry. It was like I had some kind of chemical imbalance.
I am seen by a physician and have to weigh in every two weeks, and they give me a B-12 shot.
I no longer obcess over food which gives me more time to think about exercise and proper eating.
My problem is that I work Twelve hours a day Wed-Sat at a desk so I don't get much exercise in on those days.

Cortislim!! Tried that one too DOES NOT WORK..that is why they keep advertising over and over, because they need new customers, they can't rely on repeat shoppers.. and when people gain "unsightly" fat it is usually not attractive around "your belly, hip and thighs" DAH:?!! those are the common areas for weight gain for all people in their 20s 30s 40s do you see people complain that only their toes get too fat when they gain weight!!
Another big scam.. like the belt that u wear to build abdominal muscles ..
Like Pete said if it was just the "stress" hormone in all cases then why do u need to work out?

I've been trying cortislim product for one week now and I really haven't experience any weight loss. However, a friend of mine lost 10lbs and her mother lost 15lbs this is why I decided to give it a try. I keep trying it for a couple of weeks and keep you posted on results if any.

I have tried CortiLoss which is the Canadian equivalent I think.. And nothing, don't waste your money. If ANYTHING my mood may have improved, but I would bet that's the placebo effect.

You can do alot to alleviate cortisol buildup just by watching what you eat, avoiding caffeine and also avoiding stress!!
But let's say you are taking a product like Cortislim or Relacor yet you are still eating poorly, drinking lots of coffee/energy drinks etc, and are not able to really relax...you may still be having toruble losing belly fat.
Belly fat also comes from having your insulin levels elevated on a frequent basis. The healthiest diet in the world is The Mediterranean Diet, high in Omega 3 which help inflammation and insulin regulation and really can help get rid of that specific dangerous fat that accumulates around the waist!

Yeah, this Cortislim looked like a scam from the beginning and I never really belived in it. Truely, the best way is to cut out bad eating habits, stick to a healthy exercise program and keep motivated. I know it's tough, otherwise I would have never looked in to Cortislim either, lol. Good luck everybody!
