RE: Cortisol
Hi Maureen,
I posted a question about this earlier last week or the week (on Open discussion) before about something that I had read about those who don't go to bed early and get enough sleep for them over night can result in the body creating cortisol which keeps fat in the ab area ( and from what I read in the magazine article, it keeps you bigger all over).
I am guilty of being someone who HATES going to sleep, I am a real night owl, and despite exercising, haven't lost anything much to shout about. So, I decided at the beginning of the week that I would make an effort and go to bed earlier, and I don't know if this is psychological or not but my tummy feels flatter and less wibbly-jibbly !
