I started taking Cortislim a month ago. I have not seen any weight loss. I have lost a couple inches around the waist (which I have plenty to go around). I have been stressed out for a variety of reasons and have noticed a calming effect from the Corislim. I am giving Cortislim another month and if I see no further results I will be exercising their money back option. I believe I hear a thunder of laughter out there...money back? I have read some horror stories, but I will give it a go. Bottom line is what you eat and exercise. I am on a hospital version of a low carb diet. It is more a low everything diet. I have to balance carbs, protein, and no salt. I am trying Cortislim because of stress. I have since found out the key stress ingedient is Magnolia Bark. You can buy Magnolia Bark for ten bucks a bottle verses fifty bucks for Cortislim. If you are not stressed out, stick to your diet and save your money.
