    mrhonesty, when part of a community, it's best to follow the rules/guidelines in place. See post linked below from the mods re: flagging and reporting

    You need to see your MD. The only way to truly tell if you have elevated cortisol is with a blood test AND a 24-hour urine collection by an endocrinologist. If the blood test comes back elevated, the urine test will tell which type of cortisol is elevated (free or attached). I know, I've had to do both tests due to high cortisol. It hasn't hindered my weight loss. I do carry a bit more in my stomach 'pooch' and that might be why, but there's no reason you can't lose weight with high cortisol.
    So pretty much your saying even if I have high cortisol I can lose weight but not belly fat???
