I was watching the old television and some "fitness" show was on. The guy on it said when cortisol is realesed, you crave fats and sugars, which sounds reasonable enough. Then they guy said when you eat those kinds of things you tend to get more fat stored in the midsection then anywhere else, is this true?

If it was true, is there a way to stop cortisol release?

probably, I think I've seen commercials for stuff like that. They probably don't work like 90 percent of supps though.

I think your genetics determine where fat is stored, and that guy was trying to sell a product.

Excess cortisol does have a tendency to determine where you store fat, beyond the areas you are likely to carry excess subcutaneous fat, and thats gender specific, with some of it also determined by your genes and lifestyle influenced glucose metabolism competency. Midsection fat is called VAT, visceral adipose tissue, and its quite responsive to cortisol influence from your repsonse to stress, insulin sensitivity, and dietary influences.

Stopping cortisol release isn't a positive thing, but blunting the amplitude of release has promise. Phosphatidylserine supposedly helps, I tried it during a couple of cutting phases and it seemed to help with preventing muscle loss.
