Can Hypnosis Help with Weight Loss?

HYPNOTHERAPY NEWS & REVIEW:

By Columnist Ernest McLeod – Certified Hypnotherapist:

Hypnosis for weight loss is common these days, yet one of the factors, which is surprising to many, is that it does not focus on losing weight itself. Losing weight is a side effect or result of the process that occurs when applying hypnosis. The focus on weight is what makes traditional methods, such as diets or exercise regimes difficult for many participants. As often focusing on the problem, can make it harder to concentrate on the solution.

Hypnosis Focuses on the Outcome

Well, often when you focus on the problem, you then get caught up in the problem. So, you go around-and-around in circles thinking about the problem. However, hypnosis focuses on the outcome or the result – healthy choices, eating better foods, enjoying life more, and having a fitter, healthier, slimmer body. Understandably, focusing on a positive outcome and not the hard work of losing something is much more motivating, isn’t it?

What is Hypnosis for Weight Loss?

Hypnosis for weight loss is safe and completely natural. When a change happens under hypnosis, it’s so normal to do that, as it’s coming from the inside. It can even be so normal that you are not even aware that you have changed your behaviour. Let me give you an example, some time ago a client saw me for help with making healthy food choices and in one of the sessions she mentioned that the other day her partner had asked her, “Since when have you been eating breakfast?”

This client was standing in the kitchen before work, eating a bowl of cereal; she felt normal eating this bowl of cereal.  Eating breakfast seemed like an everyday occurrence. However, this client had skipped breakfast for many years. So it was not until her partner said something, that she noticed this change had just recently occurred.

How Does Hypnosis Work for Weight Loss?

When applying hypnosis to get healthy, fit, and slimmer by making better food, exercise and lifestyle choices, willpower is not needed.  Instead, hypnosis can change your way of thinking and doing activities, and it can remove any pain. Your subconscious takes control, and you start doing new activities that your mind thinks you’ve done for a long time when in fact you’ve only just begun.

Willpower is exhausting. So, rather than wearing yourself out, hypnosis gives you an easier option so you can gain a healthy fit body.
