Why Hypnosis CAN help you lose weight

Why Hypnosis CAN help you lose weight
Everyone wants instant results with weight loss. There are many products and programs on the market making all kinds of claims and there is a market for them. This is because people are lured by the promise of an easy and fast way, a way to lose weight with little or no effort. But are these 'easy' ways healthy and do they provide sustainable results for the long term?

Weight loss programs often revolve around crash dieting and a sudden increase in exercise. I am sure that many of you reading this article with interest have tried these kinds of approaches to losing weight. But what happens when you give up on the exercise, because it is too much for your body, or even when you reach your weight goal. You revert to your original weight or even put on weight, so that over time with many attempts you notice a general trend of weight increase. Not to mention the loss of self-esteem as the weight increases again.


How hypnosis can help

Hypnosis can help in two ways. The first of these is by helping you to develop good healthy habits that are sustainable. The second is by making you more relaxed and happier in yourself.

Hypnosis is an ideal tool for helping you to break old habits and develop new. It is that simple. If you can change your eating and exercise habits, you don't need to go on fad diets. Losing weight and changing body shape becomes a natural process. People often find that as their habits change, they become naturally happier in themselves. Not only because they are losing weight, but because they are more active, spend more time out doors and gain from the natural high a more active lifestyle gives. This increase in happiness leads to even more healthier eating/exercise habits in turn.

The second way that hypnosis can help is by clearing out those old emotions stored in our subconscious minds that tend to drag us down. Feeling down or bad about yourself is a great reason to sit around and eat. If those emotions are removed, and our self-esteem, energy and confidence is restored, then a more active lifestyle and improved eating habits result.


What happens in the weight loss with hypnotherapy program?

1. You develop a new self image. See yourself in the future after losing weight and make that your desired future outcome.

2. You learn to be more relaxed about weight loss and weight management. Stress is often a serious factor in bad diet and comfort eating.

3. Emotions are cleared. Fear, anger, guilt, sadness are all contributers to emotional eating. In hypnosis, these are cleared to give you back control.

4. You develop positive thinking about weight and diet. You will stop worrying about your weight and about weight loss and start looking forward to losing weight and achieving your goals.

5. Your exercise routines will increase if this is one of your goals.

6. You will become what you think - the self fulfilling image. In hypnosis if you think slim, you become slim through increased metabolism, exercise and reduced food intake.
