Can You Get Rid of Belly Fat with Pills?
You’ve all heard the ads - take this pill and get rid of your belly fat. Do these pills really work? The ads claim that belly fat is caused by elevated cortisol levels. Taking these pills will (supposedly) lower cortisol levels, which in turn, will get rid of belly fat. Of course, a physician in a white coat is dispensing this info - which makes it seem all the more credible. With 66% of Americans overweight, all we have to do is to take this little pill and our belly fat will disappear! If only it were so easy!
Question from one of my clients, Cindy: I am having trouble losing weight in my stomach area. I was thinking of buying Cortislim which claims to get rid of belly fat. What do you think?
Answer from Martha: Here’s the deal… yes, it is true that high levels of cortisol can contribute towards storing abdominal fat. And chronic stress can contribute towards elevated cortisol levels. That being said, there is no scientific proof that these supplements lower cortisol levels. All they do is lower the cash in your wallet. Save your money and work on stress management, exercising and eating healthy.
BTW - I did a post last year on how the companies who made Cortislim/Cortistress got fined 12 million dollars by the Federal Trade Commission for making false claims.
