Weight loss

Diets don’t work

At least 85% of people who go on a diet fail – meaning they lose weight and regain it or they don’t stick to the diet long enough to reach their goal weight. This is because true weight-loss success comes from making lifestyle and attitude changes that support healthy living, rather than from excessive dieting and physical exertion.

It’s not about willpower

It’s very difficult to stop overeating with willpower alone, since willpower relies on conscious effort and does not address the subconscious reasons for overeating. Subconscious programmes are taken on at a very young age and become deeply ingrained. With hypnotherapy, it’s possible to address the subconscious reasons for overeating and change those patterns, so you begin to think, feel and behave like a slim, healthy individual.

Emotional eating

Most people don’t overeat because they’re hungry. They overeat for emotional reasons (boredom, loneliness, frustration, anger, sadness, etc.). Links between food and emotions go back to birth and we tend to associate food, or certain foods, with feeling loved, nurtured and safe. Emotional eating patterns are created at an early age. Maybe you were given sweets or cakes to make you feel better when hurt or upset – or for good behaviour.

Today’s highly processed foods

Another important factor in weight gain is what you eat, rather than how much you eat. Do you eat a lot of highly processed foods to save time? These types of food contain chemicals, pesticides, high amounts of sugar, overly refined starches and unhealthy fats, all of which can cause sugar cravings and cause havoc with the body’s hormones and metabolism. Some chemicals can even trick your mind into thinking you’re still hungry.

Lose weight and keep it off!

Lose weight and keep it off!

Safe, effective and lasting weight loss is about:

• eating a healthy diet in the right proportions for your body’s physical needs
• addressing any underlying emotional reasons for overeating
• installing new attitudes and behaviour

The benefits of hypnotherapy:

• No diets or food restrictions
• No hunger or cravings
• No feeling you’re missing out
• You’re naturally drawn to healthier foods
• You eat only when you’re hungry
• You feel confident and believe in yourself
• You lose weight and keep it off!

Successful hypnotherapy for sustained weight loss

I use a combination of techniques to deal with different aspects of the eating problem: regression techniques to address any underlying emotional causes, “parts therapy” to deal with internal conflict between different parts of the psyche, suggestion therapy and NLP to install new attitudes and behaviour. This particularly effective combination of techniques really gets to the root of the problem. At the same time I encourage a healthy, balanced and unprocessed diet.

Yes, you CAN lose weight and keep it off!

With hypnotherapy you can successfully lose weight whatever your age and whatever your weight. With my programme and your commitment, even long-term emotional eating and weight issues can be resolved successfully.
