Does anybody else find they can lose weight by lowering their cortisol levels?

I learned a new meditation technique this year, which is that I can lower my cortisol levels at will by choosing to calm down. And I know I lose weight when my cortisol levels are low because I get thirsty which always happens when I burn body fat. A personal trainer told me your liver needs water to burn fat which is why you get more thirsty when you are burning fat.

Does anybody else find they can lose weight by lowering their cortisol levels?
