Way to go...lots’s of low energy-high density types of foods that give you that feeling of satiety, but yet don’t bump up the calories.  Keep carbs to a minimum after 5pm is good too because anything taken after that time in the way of carbs can be converted to fat anyway.  Getting the med’s more balanced is good---lowering those cortisol levels are condusive to being able to build lean muscle tissue which helps your body to become a better fat burning machine.  Lastly not exercising too much if your non cah---but exercising MORE when you are actually CAH will naturally lower those high cortisol levels and this in itself can help where muscle building muscle is concerned I would have thought.  

To boost fat loss---exercise first thing in the morning on an empty stomach so your body switches to fat burning quicker than it would after a meal.  The body needs glycogen to do cardio, but if that is low, it dips into burning the fat stores much more quickly.  delay breakfast by just one hour after the end of exercise and you continue burning more fat and if that exercise is HIGH intensity rather than low intensity and you tap into adrenaline (non-cah) then you will burn fat all day as opposed to just the time period you do the cardio.  This is how the Body For Life program  works that I am on anyway...and I am six weeks in...another six weeks to go.  The muscles have bulked big time and I have tons more energy, I just need to get cut now really.
