This is a question for anyone who wants to answer. I am 39, mother of 3. I am a healthy eater and very active. I have been exercising all of my life. I enjoy it! I am a firm believer that pills are not the answer you must take charge and make lifestyle changes. But I am curious about the Cortislim/Cortidrene products. Between having children and genetics I carry my weight in my mid-section. I really only need to lose around 15 pounds. Between stress and genetics I am wondering if either of these products would truly be jump a start to get rid of these 15 pounds that have hung around for years. I don't have trouble sleeping but my stress level is very high and I am learning that stress causes your body to produce this chemical to store excess fat in the mid-section. So that is what has sparked my interest in these products. Can the Cortidrene be purchased in a store or is it only available only on-line? I have seen the Cortislim in my local Wal-mart. Any advice on whether these products may be just the little boost I need?



i think, for only 15lbs to lose (though i know it's fusterating because the last lbs are ae always the hardest), it is too much of a risk to take a pill to lose weight-especially when you have three children. obviously, you can take a pill and never have a problem, but if you do end up with a problem (since diet pills affect people differently and most can lead to injury/stroke/heart problems), then think about how youwould explain to your children that their mother is not the same anymore because she wanted to be skinny?
spend the money and take a yoga class/buy a yoga video or some other stress reducing technique. also read up on cortisol (stress hormone) and ab fat. i think (though i could be mistaken) that what scientists have discovered is that there is a high amount of cortisol in people who have abdominal fat...it would probably be unwise to say one caused the other.

since a diet pill does not work without a change in eating habits (and therefore maybe the only thing a diet pill is good for is to produce a psychological affect of motivation and determination to lose), maybe you should just try that for a while. foods high in fibre, vegeatbles, fruit, whole grains, lean protein, 3-6 small meals/day, not drinking water within the half hour before/after a meal, exercise (walking /running/swimming with ab work is great for for the midsection, no processed/junk foods (including pop/fast food/prepackaged meals). modify your eating habits first and really stick to it before you try any pills.
