Cortislim: For The Gullible Only

If you haven't heard of Cortislim or Greg Cynaumon yet - it's probably about time you did. Over at BlogCritics, Sal Marinello outlines a blow-by-blow account of the apparent fraud that is Cortislim.

Cortislim was slickly marketed on the basis that Cortisol was responsible for weight gain - and Cortislim was the perfect antidote. As time has gone by it has become apparent that Cortislim is nothing but a waste of money:

So no matter how many little Cortislim pills that you take and no matter how much Vitamin C, Calcium, Chromium, Magnolia Bark extract, Green Tea Leaf extract and Banaba Leaf extract you ingest, YOU WON'T LOSE WEIGHT UNLESS YOU EAT LESS AND EXERCISE!

The author points out a curious change in the fine print of the Cortislim ads - "Results not typical. Your results may vary. Results dependent on diet and exercise"

What can I add to that?

Cortislim is handled by the same group that runs TrimLife. I had dealt with these guys, fast talking NY/NJ hustlers, and that is their gig. Package it with a story that while bequile the "sucker born every minute", tie in a celebrity when possible, and sell the heck out of it.
They write great copy and know how to buy media, and could care less whether the stuff really works, because of a term called "breakage." No matter how bad the stuff is, only a small percentage of people will ask for a refund. They factor that into their pricing and rake in a bundle.

I have manufactured generic versions of hot diet supplements for 15 years. I make Cortisyn, a copy of CortiSlim. CortiSlim is a very mild product. Many will not lose weight on it and no one will keep the weight off withoout a change in diet and exercise. I also believe that CortiSlim is so expensive that most will not take enough to save money.
NO product works for every one. Prescription drugs do not work even 50% of the time on average. Why have unrealistic expectations that supplements will work any better.

Funny that "Dr" Greg has been exposed.
Now it is well known that he was NEVER a real psychologist as he claimed on the Montel Williams show.
All he was , was a psychological ASSISTANT for a very short time.
What he is FULL TIME, is a con artist

my friend is a big guy and he said after two months on a generic form of Cortislim, and no diet change or exercise he has dropped 25 pounds! His clothes are getting looser and he attributes it to the "Cortislim". that its the only change he's made...Makes me want to give it a whirl but only if I can find a cheaper version.

I went on and off taking cortislim, whether it is generic or the real thing. I do not lose weight as a result of the pill but for some reason the size of my waist reduces. I can go on a diet without it, diet and exercise and even lose weight but my waist does not reduce down to the size as it does with cortislim or the generic one. They even say it on the commercial about the belly fat. I didn't think that could be true. But I like that side effect. Although I am not complaining, but it seems strange that the pill does not make me lose any extra weight but I lose some of my midsection. I guess that is something to look more into.

I was a sales manager; trainer; and quality assurance officer for PMC the marketer of Cortislim and have to comment. I was laid off by the company on not so pleasant circumstances and still would like to point out the basis for cortislims weight loss was to make the diet and exercise changes EASIER by helping to lower the bodies negative responses to stress. I signed HUNDREDS of return authorizations from the sales side for people who noticed stress changes but had not lost weight and wanted to return the product. Had the product not been misrepresented in advertising it could have helped many more people. I still take the product and so does most of my family and that includes my sister who is an RN/NP.

Long story short, if you do not change your patterns you will never change your weight. Poor habits got you fat, as they did me. Good habits are the only way to lose weight, I lost 30 lbs with CSLIM, but it was with a better diet and working out.

i have been taking cortislim for about a month now and i have def. seen changes in my body. i have been excersizing at the same intensity as i did before taking the pill and weight around my mid section has been reduced. i do agree that this pill will not work without excersize and i will stress that you do need to workout while taking it. Simple running or walking daily will help to boost your metablism. the unhealthy weight will come off with time.
