"I eat what I want, when I want, and I seem to have lost a stone without even trying!

In order to find out how hypnosis can help you lose weight, we must first examine why people become overweight?

# EATING QUICKLY... # BOREDOM EATING... # REWARD EATING...

Are you always the first to finish? Did you even taste your dinner or did you just shovel it in? Did you enjoy the flavours, texture and aroma of your meal? Do you feed rather than eat? Hypnotherapy will help you slow down your eating and allow you to actually enjoy eating and become an eater rather than a feeder...                        

Do you reach for the cookie jar when you are bored, lonely, without a person in your life, or you have been dumped? Hypnotherapy will enable you to fully understand your emotions, your reactions to them and allow you to break the link that your subconscious has between emotions and food...                           

Had a good day? Why not have a treat? Rewarding yourself with food seems a good idea at the time but will only lead to the pounds piling on. Hypnotherapy will enable you to fully understand why you need to reward yourself and once again break the link that your subconscious has created between reward and food...

# PLATE CLEARING... # MEAL SKIPPING... # PROTECTION EATING

Do you ever leave food on your plate? Why not? Don't want to waste it? Was it the way you were taught when young? Do you sit on the settee and just pile the food into your mouth while you watch your favourite soap? Hypnotherapy will help you slow down your eating and allow you to feel the 'stop sign' that tells you when you are full. This factor alone will reduce your food intake dramatically by ensuring that you eat 'consciously'.   
 

People who skip meals and eat low fat food are messing around with their metabolism. Eat this way and the brain and stomach get mixed messages. Low fat food tells the stomach that  food is on the way...upon arrival it doesn't produce expected satisfaction. Skipping meals also causes the metabolism to slow down and not process food as efficiently as it should. Hypnotherapy will motivate you to eat regularly and healthily and sensibly.

Does the thought of attention from the opposite sex cause you to call for a pizza? Is your partner quite happy with your size and a slimmer you could be a temptation to stray? Do you find yourself yo-yoing when on diets? When on diet, does a positive comment cause a negative reaction from you?Hypnotherapy will allow you to explore the root causes of why you eat to protect yourself and allow you to move on and successfully lose weight but permanently this time.

ARE YOU AN EMOTIONAL EATER...Click here to find out

"...amazingly I have left food on my plate for the last 3 days... that has never happened before!"  S****

You can see there are many reasons why people become overweight but in almost all cases,  the reasons they began overeating are anchored in their past, some emotional event or trauma that caused them to begin eating for security, self-preservation or protection. The memory of the event remains sealed in their subconscious, even if their conscious mind has forgotten it.

"...I am eating better food only when hungry and am enjoying it more because I actually need it and without guilt ."   J**
How can hypnotherapy help you to lose weight?

As mentioned above, traditional dieting strategies don't work for emotional eaters. In fact, research shows that over 90% of diets fail with 30% of people actually gaining weight following a diet. The subconscious mind has a deep-rooted need for excess food because of an emotional event from the past and dieting is NOT the solution. The emotional event in question needs to be remembered and 'fixed' before any long term progress can be made with regards to weight loss. A course of hypnotherapy sessions will allow the subconscious to take the client back to the emotional event or events that are causing this attitude towards food. These are the first steps in eliminating the subconscious desire for excess food.

Next, the feeling of 'real' hunger needs to be relearnt. The differences between emotional and physical hunger need to be identified

Then, a new attitude towards food needs to be created and this is done through Suggestion Therapy whilst in hypnosis together with self help at home using CD's we provide. Once the attitude has become permanent, new eating habits will have been formed. You will begin to enjoy food for the correct reasons, eat only when hungry, stop when full. You will lose weight and keep it off. As well as changing your attitude towards food, you will change your attitude towards yourself and be more aware of a desire to be healthier. Once these attitudes have become permanent, new eating habits will have been formed. You will begin to enjoy food for the correct reasons, eat only when hungry, stop when full. You will feel in total control of your life, get fitter,  lose weight and keep it off...PERMANENTLY!

The hypnotherapist will also be able to help with the sleep disorder insomnia. You can be taught self hypnosis to allow you to learn relaxation, to make that change in your life. Do you have a phobia? Phobias such as fear of spiders, fear of flying and claustrophobia can all be helped with HYPNOSIS. If you suffer from panic attacks, depression lack of self esteem or self confidence, a few sessions with an experienced HYPNOTHERAPIST will leave you free from your fears and allow you to change your life for the better.
