3-Step Plan To Manage Your Stress

Long-term stress is the root of many ailments in our modern-day world. Luckily, there is a three-step approach tomanaging all the stressors you will encounter throughout your life. In fact, treat your stressor as a project and then do the following:

1. Name it
• Whether it’s emotional, mental or physical, write down your stressor.
2. Make a plan
• You want to move your project over the hurdle of procrastination. Do this by writing down an action plan that is SMART:
• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Realistic
• There’s a Timeline
3. Deal with your plan
• Tackle it – roll up your sleeves and just do it.
• Get help – if you don’t have a lot of time get some support like an accountant or a mediator.
• Let it go – if things are weighted by emotion you may have to use tools such as journaling to letting it go. Remember: this isn’t denial.
• Let it be – if you have to endure something for a period of time, you may just have to practice the act of letting it be. Meditation can help with this.
4. Let CortiSLIM be a part of your plan to get your stress under control.

Signs Your Thyroid May Be Out Of Whack

Extreme Fatigue. If you’re always tired, even after sleeping 8 to 10 hours a night, it’s a common sign that your thyroid hormone levels are low. Of course, fatigue and low energy are associated with many conditions, but if you don’t have enough thyroid hormone (TH) flowing through your body, your muscles aren’t receiving a signal to get up and get moving.

Brain Fog. If it feels as though you’re walking around in a fog all day, are having difficulty focusing, or forgetting things frequently, it could be that your thyroid is out of whack. Too much TH can make it hard to concentrate, while too little can cause memory problems.

Digestive Issues. Those with hypothyroidism often complain of constipation, as an underactive thyroid can cause the digestive process to slow. An overactive thyroid gland can cause the opposite problem, such as diarrhea or more frequent bowel movements.

Mood Problems. Mood swings, anxiety or depression can develop in those who have thyroid disorders. Anxiety and nervousness are linked to hyperthyroidism as the body is flooded constantly with a message to go, go, go, causing it to go into overdrive.

Many CortiSLIM customers find CortiSLIM Advance helps with hormone issues and stress-related belly fat.

Increase your Fat Burning with these TIPS!

Here are some of the best thermogenesis-inducing foods...

Spices: consuming foods with spices, such as red hot peppers or black pepper increases thermogenesis and can potentially have a significant effect on feelings of satiety and fat oxidation. Capsaicin, the substance that gives hot peppers their pungent flavor, for example, has been reported to increase thermogenesis. Similarly, black pepper contains piperine, a substance that has been shown to influence thermogenesis through stimulating the nervous system.

Green tea: contains two substances - caffeine, and polyphenols called catechins - that have been shown to boost thermogensis and may enhance each other's effects. Catechins in green tea may increase thermogenesis through inhibiting a particular enzyme, and green tea contains high amounts of a certain catechin called epigallocatechin gallate, which is probably the most pharmacologically active.

Coconut oil: contains mainly medium-chain fatty acids - fats that, when consumed, have been shown to inhibit fat deposition through increased thermogenesis and fat burning, in studies conducted in animals and in humans.

Proteins: are the most thermogenic food, including lean meat, poultry, eggs, fish and shellfish, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, and nuts.

When you combine lean proteins with essential “healthy” fats, as well as fibrous carbs (vegetables), your body will literally turn into a fat burning machine. Here’s a simple 3-step formula to put together a fat-burning meal...

Step 1: Select a fibrous carb (vegetable high in fiber) such as broccoli, asparagus, green beans, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, spinach, kale, etc., and then...

Step 2: Combine it with a high-quality lean protein (lean meat, fish, or low fat dairy)...

Step 3: The lean protein and fibrous carb forms the foundation of your fat burning meal - and is perfect if later in the day. But if it’s earlier in the day, when your body needs more energy, you'll want to add a natural starchy carb, such as brown rice, oatmeal, potatoes, yams, or sweet potatoes. Simple carbs (fruit) earlier in the day (or after a workout) work well too.

Summary: you can turn on genes that make weight loss easier and CortiSLIM can help!

Sneaky Little Fat Loss Tips

Sneaky little fat loss tricks that I want to share with you!

Tip #1
This is a super-easy way to make your meals more satisfying and to lose additional weight without feeling like your giving up all your favorite foods.  Best of all, this simple tip makes your meals more enjoyable!

About 5 minutes before you start your meal, eat a spoonful of delicious creamy organic almond butter (natural peanut butter works too).

Not only does it taste delicious, but the healthy fats activate a little-known but powerful hormone called ghrelin.  It’s the hormone that tells your body loud and clear that it should feel full and satisfied.

2 things will happen.  As you eat, your body will be flooded with hormones that enhance the feeling of satisfaction.  And you’ll also feel full and delighted much sooner. 

Overeating and feeling bloated will be a thing of the past!

Tip #2

This is a powerful one because it allows you to burn extra fat WHILE YOU SLEEP.  Awesome right?

It’s another quick and easy trick you can start using today.

All you need to do is lower the temperature in your bedroom by a few degrees.  A recent study showed that dropping the room temperature from 75° to 67° causes men and women to burn more fat every single night.

It doesn’t get any better than that right?  You don’t have to sacrificeand give up everything you love to lose weight. 

Adjust your thermostat or turn up the A/C and burn fat while you snooze.  It’s truly effortless fat loss.

Tip #3
Use your body’s natural cycles to lose weight as fast and easy as possible.

Most people don’t know this but your body goes through natural metabolic cycles throughout the day.  It’s why you have energy in the morning, you get tired after lunch and why you get a little burst of energy when you get home at night.

The most important cycle for fat loss is in the morning.  No doubt about it.  That’s why leading fat loss researchers (and your mother) say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

So how can you take advantage of your body’s natural metabolic cycle in the morning?  Well I discovered a simple 5-minute routine you can do in the morning to burn fat and boost energy. 

You can finally get off your plateau with just a few tweaks to your existing program and CortiSLIM can help!
