Ever wondered how high cortisol causes belly fat?
We’ve been told that cortisol contributes to stubborn belly fat, but what is it, and how is it creeping into our lives?

Dieting, weight loss and health
It’s been a big year around dieting, weight loss and health this year.
There’s been a big shift in beliefs around food for me, and what it actually means to be healthy.
Here are the big clangers…
Stevia causes Belly Fat
Is it true that stevia causes belly fat?
In this whole weight loss and health game, I like to be my own grand experiment to see what works for me and makes me feel amazing, hopefully all the time.
So I read up on different healthy food related topics, try them on for size, then make up my own mind as to whether what is written is true for me. Which is why I might be in favour of a product at a point in time, but after using for six months or more, I will change my mind because of the effects it has on me.
One of these products for which I have had a recent switch-o change-o is Stevia.
Muscles burn calories faster – apparently
Muscles help burn calories faster so therefore you should get muscles first to lose weight – apparently…
Ok so it’s no secret that I don’t like going to the gym. It just doesn’t do it for me from a number of angles. Despite the fact that the fitness crew out there still blast away that it’s the best thing ever and many, many weight loss programs insist that you must go to the gym to lose weight, I am finally at peace with the facts:-
a) I don’t need to go any where near a gym to lose weight
b) I don’t need to feel bad, less than or hopeless because I don’t go
c) it’s perfectly fine to know what you don’t like and it doesn’t mean you are lazy
d) some people love it – so go for your life! Just leave the rest of us alone.
(In fact truth be told, apparently the stats are that only about 10% of the population go to the gym, so there is way more of us who don’t – interesting!)

FAT Burner HIIT Guide – Free with purchase of three books.
This guide is based on recent research showing that fat loss can be accelerated in doing this action daily.
