Does Hypnosis Weight Loss Work?

[Dale Rose]

The claims are everywhere you look: "Hypnosis Weight Loss Works". But
are the claims advertising hype or do they add up to a loss of dollars
in your pocket but no other discernible change?
Before we can decide whether hypnosis weight loss really works, let's
have a look at what happens when you choose hypnosis:
You can undergo hypnosis in the offices of a trained hypnotherapist or
you can buy a program to play in the comfort of your own home. Either
way, you'll be placed into a light trance-like state. Typically you'll
be asked to close your eyes, generally relax (often by taking long
deep breaths) and slip into a hypnotic state. This is perfectly safe -
we all induce our own hypnotic states when we day dream.
Once you are under hypnosis, the hypnotist will start to plant
suggestions in your sub-conscious mind.
Depending on your hypnotist's view of why you are overweight and
therefore how you need to achieve your weight loss, you will get a
different set of instructions.
If you want to use hypnosis to lose weight on a low carb diet then you
need to make sure that your hypnotist isn't working against you by
planting suggestions that you should avoid fat. Similarly, if you are
aiming to use hypnosis for weight loss by more conventional diets, you
need to make sure that your hypnotist isn't about to set you on a
different path. If in doubt, ask them before spending your cash.
The suggestions implanted in your hypnosis weight loss session will be
acted on by your subconscious mind. You may need to repeat the session
more than once to get the fullest benefit as it's likely that your
current patterns of gaining weight won't be totally overcome in just
one session or listening.
But gradually the suggestions will start to work. That's the beauty of
a hypnosis weight loss program. Anything we concentrate on regularly
starts to happen. You've been attracting weight gain up until now.
Hypnosis can change that pattern for you. That's one of the things it
is especially good at.
