Weight Loss
How many times have you been dreaming of fitting into that pair jeans, or into that lovely dress again?
And how many times have you started dieting and made progress, only to fall back into your old eating habits and just couldn’t help but seeing and feeling the weight coming on again?
And I know how hard it is not to give into delicious food and instead choose the healthy option!
Because a systematic weight-loss is powered by new habits it can be very hard to implement them with just a conscious effort, never mind keeping them up but with hypnosis it is easy to drop your old habits and implement new ones. There is in fact ample research that shows that hypnosis is by far more successful than any other method when it comes to changing habits, losing weight and keeping the weight off.
Also, any weight issue and eating disorder is powered by emotional causes of which most people are completely unaware of.
Hypnotherapy coupled with a diet plan is by far more effective than any diet or other program alone because as we uncover the emotional causes of your eating issue you will release the emotions from your nervous system. This means that the fuel supply to your emotional eating is disconnected and once you have uncoupled your eating habits from your emotions it is very easy to change habits, without suffering back-falls. This is how you can keep loosing weight easily.
Moreover with the help of the imagery in the MP3 file provided, to be listened to at least once a day, you will always have in mind your goals, and because the unconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between reality and imagination it will work for you to help you reach your goals with the least effort possible. This is because picturing in your mind continuously your goals will create a dissonance with your reality and when your unconscious mind perceives that it will do everything in its power to achieve the more pleasure-providing situation, then it will be easy for you to overlook that piece of cake or extra biscuit or two!
As for other types of weight issues and eating disorders, these usually require an equal amount of emotional clearing as well as building on solid self-esteem.
Again it is advised to have a diet plan in place advised by a professional nutritionist so you have a structure to follow that takes away the decision-making task when shopping and making food which can be unconsciously perceived as an extra obstacle.
Below is some research evidence of the effectiveness of hypnosis in weight-loss for you to consider
‘Two Years Later: Hypnosis Subjects Continued To Lose Significant Weight’
109 people completed a behavioral treatment for weight management either with or without the addition of hypnosis. At the end of the 9-week program, both interventions resulted in significant weight reduction. At 8-month and 2-year follow-ups, the hypnosis subjects were found to have continued to lose significant weight, while those in the behavioral-treatment-only group showed little further change.

‘Hypnosis Subjects Lost More Weight Than 90% of Others and Kept it Off’
Researchers analyzed 18 studies comparing a cognitive behavioral therapy such as relaxation training, guided imagery, self monitoring, or goal setting with the same therapy supplemented by hypnosis. Those who received the hypnosis lost more weight than 90 percent of those not receiving hypnosis and maintained the weight loss two years after treatment ended.

‘Hypnosis More Than Doubled Average Weight Loss…’

‘Hypnosis Over 30 Times as Effective for Weight Loss’
Investigated the effects of hypnosis in weight loss for 60 females, at least 20% overweight. Treatment included group hypnosis with metaphors for ego-strengthening, decision making and motivation, ideomotor exploration in individual hypnosis, and group hypnosis with maintenance suggestions. Hypnosis was more effective than a control group: an average of 17 lbs lost by the hypnosis group vs. an average of 0.5 lbs lost by the control group, on follow-up.
