The Cortisol Connection Diet: The Breakthrough Program to Control Stress and Lose Weight

5 star

Love is book. Good information

I don't do stress well at all! After years as a first grade teacher and a stressful personal life, stress almost hospitalized me. Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. I was running on a pure histamine. My adrenals were shot-no emergency energy! I was covered with rash, depressed when I could come down enough. My muscles were wasting away. Then my thyroid crashed and I could barely drag my legs around to walk. After the thyroid started up again, the doctors "blood type diet" didn't do much. Then I saw an article on Dr. Talbott in a magazine and followed the advice while I waited for the book to arrive. I've only been on the plan for 10 days and the depression is gone and, oh, yes the brain fog. I can do 30 minutes a day on my crosstrainer. I am sleeping better and feel more positive. All this after I had to quit work five years ago because this syndrome is so debilitating. Great book! Read it! Use it! It's for everyone since we're all living under stress. I'm into The Cortison Connection now. I fell like I'm giving myself a second chance at life and loving it.If you're tired of starving to loose weight and want to eat to achieve a healthy body and spirit, this is the best. I don't have those awful sugar cravings anymore. Did I mention I was on heavy Prednisone for five years and had drug-induced hypoglycemia? Anyway, this food plan (it's not a diet because you're never hungry) is perfect. I was never able to get the weight to drop off and now it's coming off.Thanks, Dr. Talbott. People like you come along far too infrequently. Penecillin and the polio vaccines for the 20th century. Obesity for the 21st! If anyone should question this books importance, open your eyes to how few fit people you see. We've been "digging our own graves with a spoon"! Examine the statistics. It makes perfect SENSE. It's soooo simple!

This book is fabulous. Their are easy solutions to the fat by lowering cotisol levels. I have had adrenol problems since chemotherapy (10 m0nths). That was 4 years ago. I kept gaining weight around my middle and no amount of exercise or diets would work. Now i know why, i have to get my corisone levels down first, then the rest is all in the book, including very importand herbs. I am excited about what is going to happen. I highly recomend this book to anyone who might sespect their adrenol glands may be fatiqued. I was suprised to learn that most people with extra fat around the middle have cortisol issues.I have read many articles and books on the subject which gave me a good undestang but no solid varible solutions like this book does. God bless Theresa Cheung. This book is a most read.

I have liked all the ideas behind this diet and I incorporate them into my daily routine. I eat at the certain times of day that they ask during the week and it keeps me very full and helps me to remember to eat healthy. I do however believe that its more than just cortisol, I think there are other hormonal issues raging in everyone from deficiencies to over production of the hormone. So I would recommend going to a natropath or DO to discuss how to better yourself entirely and what would be the best way to lose wieght using this book as a guide base.
