Hypnosis, for safe weight loss

Question by Jackie: does weight loss hypnosis really work and how?

Best answer:

Answer by DaisyDaisy
Yes, No, and Maybe.

Hypnosis can definitely help in two ways.
It can be used to increase your self esteem, how you feel about yourself, and get you motivated to do something about it.
Hypnotherapy on a one to one basis can be used to find out why you feel bad about yourself, why you feel you might just as well eat since nothing else is any good. Once the source of the unhappiness that is driving the eating has been eliminated it is simply a matter of applying self discipline and the weight you are carrying will begin to come off and be gone in few months, and stay off forever.

Just listening to a general purpose hypno recording will not help you lose weight.

So hypnosis may help you or it may not. It depend why you over eating in the first place.

Question by Marathonchick: Does hypnosis for weight loss work?? Should I do an office visit or get some CD’s. Any recommendations?
I am just wanting to lose 10-15lbs or so. I have been training to do marathons for over a year now I have done one already and I am still the same weight.

I eat fried food and fatty food about 3 times a week and I drink 1 Coke a day, but I want to like salad and water! I just hate the tase. Can anything make me eat better? Change my taste in foods??

Obviously I have no self control in this area. But I want to change it if I can. Please help…..tell me your experiences. How do you make your self eat something you hate every day?? Does hypnosis work?

Please be kind with your words!

Question by Michael Werntz: Does listening to self hypnosis cds everyday actually work?
They usually say to listen to your self hypnosis cd or download everyday for atleast 3 weeks to experience the results that you want. I’ve never actually tried this for that long. My question is for the people who do listen to self hypnosis reguarly, from your experience does the self hypnosis actually work after 3 weeks?

jonathan Parker made some excellent meditation tapes that lead you through these meditations, I listened to pathways to mastership, and went through the guided meditations, I was afraid to drive onthe highway, and the next day I was on the highway, 3 days later in the left lane. I was afraid to fly and flew on a plane a month later. If they are going to work, at least with me, it was the first time that solved everything. Jonathan Parker is at Quantum Quests, and on his guided meditation on Pathways to Mastership you can address any problems you are trying to address. I highly recommend his tapes and think the world of him!!! Actually met someone that knows him, he is from Canada. Hypnosis itself can have its downside, so I hope you try his guided meditations! I was hypnotized once to stop smoking, and the guy told me to find something to do like clean the house, well 3 days later my house was sparkling so I started smoking again. That cost me 0.00! lol

Personally i wouldnt trust hypnosis however one of my co-workers has and this is what he had to say

Never done hypnotherapy before but have not touched chocolate in the week I have been using it. Also, have self esteem and self confidence CDs. Found myself acting different at work. Much more confident.
Must say, everytime I think about something fattening to eat I have little voice in my head telling me to go for the health option. Also, fall asleep while listening makes no difference, and I sleep like a baby and feel really relaxed. Was on sleeping tablets prior to this

Can’t speak for weight loss, but a co-worker of mine tried hypnosis to quit smoking, and after ONE TREATMENT he put the cigarettes down and hasn’t touched them since. It’s been three years now and he has been smoke-free the entire time. I imagine it would work for weight loss if you’re the type of person who is a compulsive eater or uses food every time you get upset, stressed, bored, etc.

Hi,
I am also trying to use weight loss hypnosis programs to help me to lose weight. However, I’m working with a qualified weight loss hypnosis therapist in my area for about half a year now and its great !

Weight loss hypnosis is not a new thing in the field of weight loss. I thought it was until I talked with my hypnotherapist. In fact, weight loss hypnosis methods have been used for many years in other fields to help people stop smoking, do pain control and improve memory and of course weight management.

I was trying quite a lot of diet and exercise routines previously before I went to see my hypnotherapist.. I did have some success but then my weight always goes up and down .. I will have a little success initially but it seems to go right back up again .. perhaps I have some uncontrollable cravings at night (its a bad habit).

But working with a weight loss hypnosis therapist made me realize where I was going wrong, and we worked on stopping these cravings. I told her I dreaded going for exercising and had trouble staying with my diets. From there we worked out a goal on what to work on.

After half a year of going for weight loss hypnosis sessions, I find that nowadays I don’t have cravings anymore at night. It seems like I don’t feel hungry anymore even when I don’t eat as much as I used to. Its like quite amusing to find that I actually don’t want to eat more when I feel a little full.

And when it comes to exercise, I am finding its easy to get myself to the gym … my hypnotherapist worked out a plan for me and it made me realize the progress I was making .. and that was a big encouragement..

So if you ask me how I am feeling after my hypnosis session, there’s no difference to how I am feeling, but there is a difference in how my mind perceives when I am getting full and I seem to have a fresh source of motivation in me to get to the gym .. so it works great for me !

If things are not working as well for you, why not give weight loss hypnosis a try. There are a lot of resources on the net … I have listed one of the website which I visit below .. its a nice little resource with some writeups which is quite useful

Hope it helps ! and tell us about your progress !

Question by dhdaddy2003: Can hypnosis work to provide motivation to lose weight or exercise?
I’m middle aged and was in shape once, but now very overweight and low engergy. I simply cannot seem to fit exercise into my schedule, with two teenagers and a full time job, no matter how much willpower I try to exert. Something always comes up, I’m too exhausted after work, etc. I’m at the end of my rope — anyone tried hypnosis or anything else to break through?
