Hypnosis for weight control may or may not be the right choice for you. There is limited solid proof on its effectiveness but a lot of people swear by how well it works. While it may work very well in certain people, it may not work at all with others. Hypnosis is often combined with other treatment methods in losing weight.
Obesity is an epidemic in America. And kids are no exception. Millions of overweight Americans struggle to lose weight. No one said losing weight was easy. Diets don’t work. It takes commitment to change your entire lifestyle to maintain a healthy desired weight. It’s not only about losing weight, but keeping it off. Often times, people fail diets or find them selves on a yo-yo diet.
During the procedure, a hypnotherapist will create mental images and present verbal gestures. Everything is done during a conscious state. During hypnosis, your attention is focused on everything the hypnotherapist brings up to you. People are more responsive in this state of mind.
Eating in moderation, maintaining a well-balanced diet and exercising has proven to be effective and there is no substitute for that. And if you still can’t lose weight, then hypnosis may be one of the options to try. The effectiveness of hypnosis is still questioned.
During the session, your mind is relaxed. The hypnotherapist creates visual images of goals and suggestions. He/she may suggest that you eat less sweets. In the hypnotic condition, you are more likely to take those suggestions. This is when you are highly responsive and open to ideas. Some people are more responsive to this treatment than others.
Do your research carefully before determining that hypnosis is the answer for weight loss. While the treatment may produce desirable outcome for some people, it may not work well for others. Of course, the best way is to try it for yourself. It’s certainly one of the easiest methods of controlling weight for a lot of people.
