I wondered for a while if those cortisol products worked to reduce weight and specifically target belly fat. I didn’t really know much about it at the time that they were really popular. But then the FTC censured them and basically answered my question. I did more research into it, and I found that quite frankly speaking, cortisol buildup like they were talking about or really of any kind is a rather rare medical condition. It is produced in higher amounts if you’re stressed, but not like that. That being said, I actually ended up looking at the ingredients lists too. One product had green tea, which obviously wouldn’t reduce stress, but at least it would burn some fat, if they had used the right amounts, which they definitely didn’t. But the rest of the products and the rest of the ingredients in that one were all sleep aids and so on. I mean if I wanted sleep aids and I had cortisol buildup that would actually respond to that, which by the way it doesn’t, I would have lost weight using the sleep aids I have used before. So it’s all a bunch of bunk to be quite honest. It’s just a matter of how hard you are going to fall for it.
