Could hypnosis help you lose weight?

-

“You are getting thinner..." Could hypnothera­py be the secret to unlocking your barriers to weight loss?

We know that to lose weight we need to eat less and move more. So why aren't we a nation of super-svelte Aussies?

Often, it's because there's a lot of baggage in our subconscio­us that's weighing us down. Hypnothera­py is a tool that can help you focus your subconscio­us mind on what you need to change to achieve weight-loss success. Change your thinking. People use a lot of negative self-talk They'll say, “I am never going to be any different” “This is the way I am” or “I'm a yo-yo dieter” or “Diets don't work”.

This negative self-talk leads to emotional eating and is the reason why many people put on weight or stay plateaued.

At Melbourne Hypnothera­py Clinic we help you gain the motivation and handle the emotional eating triggers to create a permanent healthy living pattern, to get on top of negative emotions and learn how to feel happy and more positive.

Breaking the cycle and replacing negative thoughts with positive ones can be achieved with the help of a hypnothera­pist. With hypnosis you're going straight to the subconscio­us, where all your memories are, and feeding it with positive suggestion­s.

Hypnosis can help by changing your mindset. Do you find yourself eating when you don’t feel hungry when you become stressed, sad, worried, bored, angry, lonely, scared or guilty?

Do you find that food has control over you instead of the other way around?

If you answered yes to any of these, you are eating for emotional reasons.

Hypnosis can take away the mental prison bars you've made for yourself. Keeping trim should be a long-term goal, not a short-term obsession.

While many people succeed in losing weight in the short term, they often have trouble keeping it off and that's where hypnothera­py can lead to success.

A study published in the Journal Of Consulting And Clinical Psychology in 1995 looked at six studies relating to obesity and weight loss and concluded that “The addition of hypnosis substantia­lly enhanced treatment outcome".

The patients who underwent hypnosis continued to lose weight, even after the treatment had ended. Why do we overeat? The human body has a mechanism for letting us know when we are full. If you overeat you may be ignoring the signs of being full.

There are a number of reasons why you may do this, such as eating so fast that the signals of being full are missed or you may have a desire to clear your plate.

The need to eat often satisfies our mind rather than the physical need to eat to survive. Changing the role food plays in our lives can be the key to long-term weight loss. What causes weight gain? The simple explanatio­n for what causes overweight is more calories coming into the body than going out.

Two common contributo­rs have been the global shift to foods that are fast and high in fat and sugars, and a decline in physical activity.

Today’s fast-paced and demanding world has given rise to alarming stress levels and people are seeking any way they can find to cope.

For many that means turning to food, especially comfort food, and that largely means precisely the kinds of food that are high in fat and low in nutrition. The Virtual Gastric Band The Virtual Gastric Band will give you all the benefits of gastric band surgery without the pain or the costs. You get hypnotised into thinking you've had gastric band surgery and will never need to eat so much again - and it works.
