Exposed: The biggest diet and weight loss lies ever now revealed.

Perhaps you tried all the promising diet pills, injections, juicing, patch, tea, liposuction, etc. But the truth is, nothing is better than using hypnosis!  Most of us know that eating healthier and exercising regularly can facilitate weight loss, and that remaining overweight comes at significant costs to negative self-image and self-esteem.  Yet, only about 20% of overweight individuals are successful at maintaining weight loss for long-term.

The truth is, that there are a number of emotional baggage that triggers emotional eating behavior with the desire to suppress deep emotional issues while replacing it with food.

Although we cannot go back in time and change our environment or undue previous exposure to negative suggestions, and bad behaviors we’ve adopted can do a lot of damage, and this is where hypnosis can be especially helpful.

Emotional and Unconscious Factors that Keep Pounds On: Overweight as a “Shield”

Your unconscious mind may believe very strongly that unhealthy behaviors serve an essential purpose – that they are important “shields” for helping you to function in some way.  And if a part of you believes the overweight or associated behaviors are necessary, you are much less likely to change them for long. Here are some common examples:

• Using food to increase feelings of comfort.
• Eating to decrease feelings of sadness, anger, anxiety, stress, guilt, shame, resentment, or other emotional issues.
• Weight serving as a cushion between yourself and others, especially with regard to intimate relationships.
• Positive sympathy with others in your life – past or present – who are overweight.
• Associating “good times” with calorie-dense, sugary, fatty, or processed foods.
• Fattening foods or beverages identified as “rewards” for continuing struggle, suffering through illness, or not having felt loved.
• Fattening foods are rewards for “good behavior” or achievement. Feeling overly full associated with comfort.
• Sabotaging behaviors as a defense against the fearyou would fail if you tried to lose weight.
• Weight as a way to rebel against otherswho are upset and keep confronting you about your weight.
• A way of communicating something without speaking (e.g., eating the leftover cake to express anger at a spouse or parent, etc., rather than discussing the situation that left you feeling angry).

We know from research that hypnosis pairs well with other weight-loss and stress reduction strategies, such as mindfulness, relaxation, cognitive behavioral therapy. Some research has found that adding hypnosis to CBT further increases its effectiveness for weight loss.

How Hypnosis Can Change Your Mind and Body

Hypnosis can help you understand your own subconscious obstacles to weight loss and enhance your chances of success via a variety of types of positive suggestion. Some examples include:

• Improving competence and confidencevia encouraging, affirming language.
• Visualization of already having achieved your goal and feeling good about it.
• Accessing and connecting with the part of your unconscious that wants to make change.
• Comforting the part of you that may be afraidof change.
• Understandingwhy you have needed to use weight as a protective sheild.
• Visualization of the new, healthier “shield” for coping, navigating personal relationships, and communicating effectively.
• Mental rehearsal to make using mental health more affective.

To summarize, at present, excess weight affects more people than not, and losing the extra pounds remains a challenging task for most. Hypnosis – mostly with a qualified professional using hypnosis techniques – can help you address the unconscious reasons for keeping weight on, and help you more easily shed those extra pounds naturaly.
