I want to talk you today about weight loss and why with hypnosis
you can lose weight and keep it off effortlessly. You already know how
to lose weight. You know that if you eat less and exercise more
eventually you'll see the pounds come off. But if you know that eating
less and exercising more will result in weight loss, I have a question
for all of you. Why are not you thin yet? Why don't you just do it? What
is getting in your way?
If you diet is successful and you lose weight, why do you usually regain the weight that you have lost? There are three major things that keep people from achieving and maintaining desired weight. The first thing is the belief that diets are an effective way to achieve permanent weight loss.
How many of you have tried a diet?
And how many of you have lost weight on that diet?
And how many of you that lost weight on the diet and gained the weight back over time!!
The weight loss industry in America is over 40 billion dollar a year business. The weight loss industry spends more on marketing then on actual medical research in order to convince people that there are unique diets and pills out there, which will make them thin in absolutely no time.
You should know that scientific research has proven that, "diets work for only less then 10% of the population".
Let's explore why diets don't work. You already know how to lose weight. You know, that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you'll see the pounds come off. If you do succeed in losing a little weight with a diet, why do you usually regain the weight you lost?
Any diet is perfect set up for failure. Here is why. When we diet, your body goes in survival mode, your metabolism slows down and your body stores more energy in the form of fat for future requirements because the diet is interpreted by the body as scarcity of food. You are hardwired to store energy as fat when food is scarce. This is why camels have a hump? Because Camels live in environments where food is scarce, it stores up energy in the form of fat for future use. These humps help camels survive for weeks without food and water. You and I don't develop humps on our backs; we store our energy as fat on our thighs, waist, hips etc.
Because people on diets ignore the body's natural signals of real hunger they never feel full - they never get the signal to stop eating. The parts of the brain that control appetite and satiety are linked together With dieting we don't pay attention to the signals of real hunger coming from the appetite center that says "Find Food and eat it", then we are (doomed) conditioned to stay unaware of the signals coming from the center of satiety, saying "Stop eating. I am full". This leads to ravings and binge eating and overeating.
The more you try dieting the more you convince yourself that you are not able to loose weight. Your self-esteem goes down, you feel even more out of control and you reach for another candy or peace of pie to fix yourself. We can't become healthy if we are focused on illness, we can't become abundant if we are focusing on poverty and we can't have a slim and thin body if we obsessed with food.
No diet can help you to control WHY you eat what you eat.
Diets don't help you to deal with the feelings of being out of control, hopeless, helpless, sadness, fears, anger and worry...This is why you have failed in the past. Diets fail because diet can't stop emotional eating, the number one reason why you have been overweight in the past.
Most of the overweight people are driven to overeat by EMOTIONS. In fact, experts estimate that 75% of overeating is caused by emotions. The second thing that keeps people from achieving and maintaining their desired weight is Emotional eating.
Ask yourself if you are an emotional Eater?
Stopping emotional eating is about successfully managing emotions and mood and not about providing food for your body.Your eating habits are developed over time and your relationship to food becomes hardwired in your subconscious mind. You may be first put on weight as a result of the trauma or stressful time in your life. You began to use food to comfort yourself, to help yourself to go through the difficult times.

Most of the overweight people are driven to overeat by EMOTIONS. In fact, experts estimate that 75% of overeating is caused by emotions. The second thing that keeps people from achieving and maintaining their desired weight is Emotional eating.
Ask yourself if you are an emotional Eater?
- Do you eat to avoid dealing with what's really bothering you?
- Do you eat when you are not really hungry but to change your mood or the way you feel?
- When you're bored or upset do you turn to food?
- Emotional eaters have become addicted to food.
Stopping emotional eating is about successfully managing emotions and mood and not about providing food for your body.Your eating habits are developed over time and your relationship to food becomes hardwired in your subconscious mind. You may be first put on weight as a result of the trauma or stressful time in your life. You began to use food to comfort yourself, to help yourself to go through the difficult times.
- It could be a time of your first or second pregnancy, separation, divorce that has happened few years ago.
- You may be first put on weight as a result of being humiliated by comment of your pears or a family member in your childhood.
- Weight gain could be a result of the sexual and/or emotional abuse in the past.
In
other words, unless you can learn to stop emotional eating, you will
never be able to lose weight and keep it off. Period. Your weight is not
about what you eat. It is rather about what eats you.
The source of emotions is in your subconscious mind. The problem is in your subconscious mind and the solutions are there too. The third thing that keeps people from achieving and maintaining their desired weight is Faulty Mental Programming.
There are three primary pathways to subconscious learning; repetition, association and emotion. This is how the subconscious mind sorts out needed information and initiates certain behaviors and habits.
1. The more often we experience negative thoughts or feelings the more often we repeat a behavior, the more likely we will repeat it, as the subconscious mind makes an easy pathway to it. This is how we create a habit.
2. When the behavior is associated with other events, or sensory cues, those events or cues can become triggers for the behavior. All of those events and sensory cues are coming from the past. Association links them to our present experience.
That's why when most people sit down and turn on the TV, they automatically feel like snacking.
This is why we begin to look (crave) for foods when we are stressed, upset, insecure, angry, afraid, and sad, bored, anxious, trapped, ashamed or lonely.
3. Emotions can access dynamic and powerful mind-body resources. Isn't it true that your most distant memories are brought forth by emotion?
The part of the human nature (the nature of you subconscious mind) is to reject negative thought and emotion. We reject unpleasent thoughts and emotions by suppressing, denying, avoiding and ignoring them. We have trained to avoid negative thoughts/emotions since we have been kids. Who wants to feel rejected, unloved, not good enough, insecure or fearful?
We have never knew how to let those thoughts and emotions go. Now we are no longer experiencing pain, hurt and discomfort that original event and negative emotion have cased us in the past. But those thoughts and emotions are still running inside of us. Now, they are running in the subconscious mind. We are now not aware of them consciously, but they are leading us to do things in order to get rid of them.
And before we know, we may find ourselves reaching out for a next candy or chocolate bar, another bag of cookies or just another meal in effort to comfort, to reward or to calm yourself with the easiest way you have found, with Foods. Being unsatisfied within our own mind we are looking for instant gratification. We are now using food as a crutch to bring a sense of comfort or satisfaction, security and safety or feeling of being loved or accepted back into your life.
Emotional eating is the practice of consuming food in response to feelings instead of hunger.
The following behaviors originate in the subconscious mind. They arise out of the relationship with food. But they have nothing to do with the food. This is why will power doesn't work when it comes to emotional eating.
Vicious Cycle of Faulty Mental Programming
Trying repetitively but failing to keep weight off, Feeling out of control when eating, Eating when not hungry, Binge eating of unhealthy foods, Late night eating, Thinking about food often, Sabotaging good feelings and weight loss attempts, Turning to foods when you stressed, upset, angry, bored, frustrated, afraid or anxious, Turning to foods to comfort you or to reward yourself, Eating after you feel full, Feel guilty after a food binge.
Your will power comes from the conscious mind. It is limited to its own resources. It uses logic, it is analytical and good at planning things but when it comes to emotions, the conscious mind has no proper resources to address and to deal with them. Hypnosis takes you back to the Conscious Eating by reprogramming your subconscious mind and letting go of negative feelings and unproductive habits.
Solution
1. Weight Loss is not about controlling what you eat, it is about human biology. Eating is under control of your brain.
Just like sleeping. Nothing can override the basic programming of the brain. When you were a baby most likely you didn't have problems with weight. You slept when you were tired and you ate when you were hungry and you stopped when you felt full.
2. The solution to Weight Loss is in changing a response to the signals we receive from the brain.
The key is in paying attention to the normal reflexes of the body, the signals of hunger. Not suppressing them, but rather paying attention to them, listening to your body rather then ignoring it, responding in a healthy way to those signals of hunger, rather then avoiding them.
Our brain contains a hunger center and satiety center. The hunger center tells you to find food and eat it. The satiety center makes you feel full, enables you to forget about food.
In the past, you have trained yourself to ignore avoid the signals of hunger your brain sending you. For as long as you don't pay attention to the signals of hunger you will not be able to recognize the signals of fullness and satisfaction.
3. This is how Hypnosis can help you to lose weight.
Hypnosis effectively taps into your mind's own ability to turn negative thoughts and feelings into empowering and beneficial emotions and behaviors.
Hypnotherapy is a process of creating a deep state of relaxation. You are alert, attentive and in control. You are just deeply relaxed and we reprogram the old messages rooted in the subconscious mind that cause depression.

You will find that you eat less being more satisfied with less amount of food in your stomach.
In Hypnosis you will be able to face those feelings and thoughts you were trying to avoid before. You will process them and you will let them go.
2. You will reeducate yourself on how to deal with any negative feelings or thoughts that may arise in a future in a new healthy way. In a such a way that you will be able to process and let go of any negative feeling or thought without avoiding them, without suppressing them inside.
