ten ways to lose fatMost of which are a bit dodgy -- but -- I like this idea from this website: Carb cycling means you'll eat your target carbs on training days and approximately 50 percent of your normal carb intake on non-training or light cardio days. This strategy helps blunt fat storage on resting days and also restores muscle glycogen in a supercompensated fashion. It also combats the metabolic crash associated with conventional low-calorie diets and keeps a strong satiety signal throughout the body.

Cortisol is a steroid hormone, more specifically a glucocorticoid, produced by the the adrenal cortex.
It is released in response to stress and a low level of blood glucocorticoid.
Its primary functions are to increase blood sugar through gluconeogenesis, suppress the immune system, and aid the metabolism of fat, protein, and carbohydrate. It also decreases bone formation.
TOPS TIPS from Poliquin:
Insulin promotes fat storage.
1.Have a set meal frequency each day.
2. The anti-cancer style diet with lots of fruit veg and fibre encourages healthy gut flora and there is some evidence that unhealthy gut flora = fat on your body ... maybe my lack of gut (full stop!) is a factor in this for me?
Using probiotics results in greater glucose uptake nd better insulin health. Managing insulin is criticial for health / leaness because insulin's job is to get glusocse into your cells - which is then used as energy or stored as fat ...
if cells become insulin resistant you have excess insulin which raises cortisol levels ..

Bit worried from something I read here that HIT (high interval training) might poduce spikes in growth hormones, which is one thing I am trying to avoid!
