Excess tummy flab is not your fault! That's the startling conclusion reached by scientists who discovered the likely cause of belly bulge. But instead of simply identifying the problem... this time they may have found the solution.

If everyday life makes you stressed out and anxious... if you've been accumulating belly fat that just won't go away... if you're binge eating in response to daily stress, you might be one of the estimated 47 million victims (mostly women) of Metabolic Syndrome -- a figure destroying, health threatening problem resulting in increased belly fat associated with high levels of cortisol, a nasty little stress hormone that causes pound after pound of excess body fat to accumulate around the waist and on your tummy.

But here's the good news: a simple change in diet and exercise, as well as a newly discovered, natural anti-stress pill, may help positively alter the underlying cause of Metabolic Syndrome... leaving you happier, full of energy, and with that flat, youthful tummy you never thought you'd see again.

SHEDDING EXCESS BELLY FAT CAN BE AS EASY AS 1*2*3

Step 1

1 The easiest way to get rid of stress induced, belly-bulging cortisol is to control your reaction to everyday stress and anxiety. "A natural feel-good pill called Relacore[TM] might be the perfect answer," says Dr. Nathalie Chevreau, Director of Women's Health and Nutrition for the Carter-Reed Company[TM]. Relacore is a non-sedative, mild anti-anxiety all-natural mood enhancer that reduces cortisol production by minimizing stress. Those who take Relacore report an overall feeling of well being, less anxiety, have much more energy and a greater ability to handle the problems of everyday life. "Not only can Relacore reduce belly fat in conjunction with proper diet and exercise, but it helps balance hormone levels that cause stress-induced obesity and encourage binge eating," explains Dr. Chevreau.

Relacore can be found at GNC, Vitamin World, Vitamin Shoppe, and select supplement retailers nationwide. For order/info, call 1-800-460-2490 ext. RC155, or visit online at www.Relacore.com (approx $49.95/30-day supply).

Step 2

2 In addition to reducing stress with Relacore, you might want to invest in a groundbreaking book that first brought the problem of cortisol, stress, and abdominal fat to light. In Fight Fat After Forty, Dr. Pamela Peeke outlines the health dangers of carrying excess weight around your midsection and offers simple dietary and lifestyle changes that help you stay thinner, eat better, and feel great about yourself. Her research suggests that you should pay attention to when you eat, as time is important in your body's cyclical production of cortisol. Her dietary plan is easy. There's nothing to avoid other than high-sugar, highly processed foods, which she labels Low Quality/High Stress. (For more information on Dr. Peeke's book, visit your local bookstore or www.amazon.com.)
