WEIGHT LOSS hypnosis

WEIGHT LOSS hypnosis

Yes! You heard it right, weight loss through hypnosis. Hypnosis can finally bring an end to those abnormal craving and midnight sneaking into the kitchen. But first, let us dig in to the real definition of hypnosis to establish facts in that effect. Hypnosis is a mental state where you are in a trance, where you are subject to suggestions, self-suggestion, or autosuggestions. In Hypnotherapy sessions you’re in hypnotic induction where you are more receptive to new ideas and commands since the mind is at an open state.

Is it really effective? How does it work? Before anything else, this is not magic. Unlike the popular belief, it cannot magically reboot, reset or reprogram the human mind to achieve results. It is a series of extreme concentration followed by relaxation and focus that induces the mind to re-pattern its eating habits and retain them consistently. According to anderbilt.edu, studies showing weight loss as a result of hypnosis alone are few in number and suffer from methodological problems. There were people who underwent hypnosis for weight loss and after 12 weeks, they loss an average of 10.2lbs. The results were promising and interesting to the media, but the control group was small, and we cannot generalized the finding that it will be effective to everyone.

The core of the hypnosis therapy for weight loss is to reprogram or modify a person’s behavior towards food, diet, and other factors that trigger weight loss. For example, if one person is prone to binges because of emotional eating, hypnosis can suggest new reactions. When faced by a bad day or almost at the top of emotional eating, one can suggest that instead of venting out on ice cream, one can go to the gym and workout.

Hypnosis results convey that it is extremely important to know that behavioral modification in relationship with weight management is far more relevant and effective than hypnosis alone. You can ask your psychologist or a hypnosis specialist regarding this but before you commit on anything, consult with your physician first. It is strongly suggests that you make sure about the effects of a modified eating pattern to your health. Sometimes, eating patterns are responses to some underlying pathological and or dietary ailments such as diabetes.  For those who have nutrition imbalance, be extra cautious in putting your mind under hypnosis. Your health strongly depend on how and what you eat. Modifying them means putting your health needs compromised.
