Anyone tried it ? It says it suppresses the appetite and boosts the fat burning - even has a money back guarantee .... hmmmm

Nope, haven't tried it. But I think I noticed the money back guarantee covers the first 60 days. Who loses ALL their weight in 60 days? I know it took me over a year. Just my $0.02.

I fell for it.... I tried it while I fell off atkins for a bit... nothing... started it again when I got back on induction...10 days now. I don't think it is doing anything, I still have the same up and down scale problems that I did before when I was on induction. I wouldn't waste my money. I am only taking it because I paid for it.

I believe it is the same as all the other gimicks they say that help with stress related weight gain. :(

I just don't think there is a magic pill out there!

Do NOT waste your money on that crap. These are just more people telling lies and preying on the desparation of people who are overweight.

The diet pill industry is, for the most part, unregulated. It's not like the pharmaceutical industry, which has VERY rigid standards for testing and manufacturing. These people can make pretty much say anything they want in their advertising, whether it's true (or tested) or not. Cortislim is a scam (despite their fervent claims in their commercials that they only have your well-being in mind). All of these people should be hung up by their thumbs.

And as a final warning, remember ephedra...also an untested diet aid. You don't know what's IN this Cortislim stuff and you may not find out until it does permenent damage to your body.

Stick with this board, keep LC'ing, and exercise...

P.S. I'll get off of my soapbox now. This is just something that I feel REALLY strongly about.

This is a copy of reply I posted in another thread. I believe this is a message that MUST be shouted from the rooftops...

I did a little research on Cortislim and their primary spokesman "Dr" Cynaumon.

If you want information on who this "Dr." really is, go here:
http://www.edresearch.com/CynaumonChallenge.htm

I also did some research on cortosol blockers.

It turns out that while Cortislim's "special compounds" may help you reduce stress, the real ingredient in their overpriced pills that causes cortosol moderation is... get ready for this...

Vitamin C.

Yup, that's right folks. $110 for 3 bottles of Cortislim is nothing more than overpriced vitamin C.

In fact, I decided to do a little experimentation myself.

Instead of spending $110 on Cortislim, I went and got a bottle of 1000 Vitamin C tablets... 500mg each.

In taking 2 to 4 of these per day, I have LOST TEN POUNDS in 2 weeks! I was at 265 lbs, and have been steady there since my wedding day on June 28th of last year. This is my first weight loss in a year! I haven't been under 255 lbs in 3 years, but just this morning, on the 2nd day of week 3, I weighed in at 253... so really it's been 12 pounds of weight loss, by taking Vitamin C.

Total cost of my big 'ol bottle of "Miracle Weight Loss Vitamin C"? $11.99 plus tax.

Oh, and I'll bet I won't get a cold any time soon either. :)

I am taking relecore. It is to do the same thing as cortislim. After 20 days now I'm down 6 lbs 2 inches from waist, 1/2 inch from hips and 1/2 inch from thighs! I love this stuff.

I think the vit. C is a great discovery for you :p

One thing I forgot to mention. I wasn't able to lose weight in over 6 months. I tried everything to get that scale moving again. It only started after the Relecore
