Hypnosis and weight gain

Most of us are unaware of how several environmental factors and lifestyle choices affect our bodies today. One of the struggles shared by many is weight gain. From controlling your diet to shedding off that extra weight, it can feel like it is impossible to overcome. However, not all hope is lost because there are ways to eliminate and control these bad habits – Hypnotherapy. A competent hypnotherapist can help you adopt a state of mind that puts you on the right track towards success.

Hypnotherapy utilizes the power of positive suggestions and other hypnotic techniques to bring about subconscious changes to our thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

In general, it helps you to better understand the real reasons for your weight gain and strengthen your self-control that you need to reduce your weight. Hypnotherapy for weight loss is not about just helping you to imagine the weight away. It helps you to eliminate emotional issues relating to overeating, enhance your control over your eating habits and boost your willingness and ability to exercise effectively to burn off those extra calories.

Common Reasons Behind Weight Gain
Let us identify the contributing factors that can make a person gain weight:

1. Deliberately Skipping Meals!
Skipping meals is one of the worst things a person can do for their body. It causes the person’s metabolism to slow down, and likely to cause the person to overeat later in the day. The American Journal of Epidemiology found that people who skip breakfast were 4.5 times more likely to be obese. Rev up your metabolism by eating small portions of nutritious foods throughout the day.

2. Eating Too Quickly
A study from the University of Rhode Island found that those who ate slowly ate 1/3 less than those who ate fast. Your stomach takes 20 minutes to tell your brain that you are full. Every meal should take you at least 20 minutes to finish. Try and chew your food 20 times in each bite and pace yourself.

3. Getting distracted while eating like watching TV, tinkering away at your cell phone or computers
Researchers at the University of Birmingham found that people who were distracted while eating a meal ate more snack food afterward than those who were paying attention – most did not even remember all of what they ate. Statistics also show you eat 5-10 times more when you eat while watching TV.

4. Taking Big Bites
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who took large bites of food consumed 52% more calories in one sitting than those who took small bites and chewed longer. So, cut your food into smaller portions, enjoy the food, take longer time to eat and increase your satisfaction.

5. Emotional Eating
Emotional eating is using food to feel better, eating to satisfy emotional needs, rather than to satisfy physical hunger. Emotional hunger cannot be satisfied by eating more food. Eating may feel good in the moment, but the feelings that triggered the eating still remain. Actually, it often feels worse than before because of the guilt of the unnecessary calories just consumed.

6. Not Avoiding Unhealthy Food Options
A diet that is teeming with high fat, high sugar, and processed food always spell disaster for health and body weight. Those unhealthy food does not provide any nutrient to your body but calories and fat.

7. Not Having Enough Exercising
Carrying too much excess weight puts a person at higher risk for certain diseases, including high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, sleep apnea, and depression. A program of moderate exercise can help to reduce the risk of the disease. Weight loss, which happens as a result of exercise, can also help to reduce the risk of the disease.

If you have any of those unfavorable habits mentioned above that is causing you to have excess weight, you can change them, and hypnotherapy will help you make the changes very easily and quickly.

Hypnotherapy for weight management is about educating your subconscious about the real reasons for weight reduction and removing any subconscious hurdles that are actually preventing you from reducing your weight and keeping it within a healthy range.

Hypnotherapy keeps you focused on healthy habits and builds your inner confidence in your physical appearance. You will eat right, exercise right, and maintain your ideal weight.

The essential thing is how motivated and committed are you to make the changes, and to stay away from your bad habits. Why not take control of yourself and start the life-changing healthy habits right now!

If you want to be more attractive with a slim and slender body!

If you want more freedom, to be more mobile and physically active!

If you want more energy and live a powerful dynamic life!

If you want to eat better and to have better health!

If you want to feel good about yourself, have better self / professional image!

If you want to make a positive change in your life!

Then you need to take steps to resolve issues that are holding you back.

You don’t have to be stuck where you are when you can move forward in your life by making the right choices that can improve you as a person.

As such most people would understand that they can lose the weight in the short term using dietary supplements and even a lifestyle change. But gradually over time the weight creeps back on because the underlying psychological or emotional issues haven’t been addressed.
weight loss and weight gain are often linked to the emotional and mental state of the individual, that it almost takes an epiphany or you simply reach a point where you accept you need to speak to someone.

They also need to admit to themselves they are possibly over-eating (portion size), poor in the diet (sugary and fatty foods), making themselves sick after eating or breaking down and crying in private after eating (feeling guilty), drinking excessively not only brings alcoholism into this but the sugars involved in alcohol especially wine and beer add massive calories. Finally, the most obvious, is a complete lack of any exercise, even brisk walking.

Any combination of the above should lead you to develop the mindset to want to change, but then utilize your own mind to become stronger in focus and application than to find a crutch again in faddish and expensive dietary supplements or powdered drinks.
