What's the deal with cortisol-reducing diets and supplements?
Posted on Dec 30th 2006 9:13AM by Martha EdwardsTurn out, Cortisol is a hormone that, in response to stress, increases appetite and in turn, belly fat. So weight-loss companies have drawn the conclusion that by reducing cortisol, appetite and therefore belly fat can also be reduced. It seems like an obvious conclusion but there doesn't seem to be any conclusive evidence that Cortisol-reducing products help with weight loss. A better way to reduce cortisol would be to reduce your stress.
Have you seen any results from using Cortisol-reducing products?
