Weight Loss From Hypnosis

Are you one of those people who has been trying desperately to lose weight but has not had any success? Hypnotherapy might just be the answer you’ve been waiting for!

Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis, typically via verbal suggestions, in order to induce a trance-like state of mind. This is usually done by a hypnotist, but can also be sellf-induced. Hypnotherapy is being used and has been studied as a form of therapy for a variety of medical conditions.

It is currently being used to relieve anxiety and pain, such as in pregnancy and cancer; as a treatment for different skin diseases, including warts and atopic dermatitis; and as an adjunct in the management of obesity.

There have been many researches done investigating the efficacy of hypnosis in inducing weight loss, majority of which have generated positive results. One such research is a meta-analysis done in 1996 in the United States, which revealed that the use of hypnosis combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can result in a significantly larger amount of weight loss than the use of CBT alone. A more recent systematic review was done in 2005 in the United Kingdom, which revealed that hypnotherapy was able to consistently produce weight loss in a safe manner.

Hypnosis is believed to help induce weight loss via several mechanisms. Hypnosis attempts to alter the individual’s subconscious programming, thus breaking down old eating habits and stopping food cravings, while simultaneously helping the individual build new habits that are much healthier. Under hypnosis, an individual is more focused and thus tends to respond better to suggestions, including recommended changes in behavior.

Also, since overeating is usually linked to stress or to one’s emotional state, hypnosis can help minimize this habit by reducing stress, developing a more positive self image and boosting the ego. Through hypnosis, an individual learns new coping mechanisms that can target the core issues of their weight problems, allowing them to lose weight and keep it off.

The primary advantage of hypnosis over other weight loss options is that hypnosis is a natural weight loss solution that allows you to permanently lose weight with minimal, if any, adverse effects. It is important to remember, though, that hypnosis works best when combined with other weight loss treatment methods, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Also, make sure that you go to a hypnotherapist who has undergone adequate training, so that you will be able to lose that unwanted weight successfully and safely.
