Alvin Loh asked:
For a lot of people, their first and only exposure to the world of hypnosis is through an entertainment stage hypnotist. They watch television programs or stage performances where the stage hypnotist induce participants into a hypnotic state and request them to do silly antics like hopping around or pretending to be someone else. This more often then not, creates a negative light on hypnosis in people’s mind as something that is purely done for entertainment value only. Weight Loss Hypnosis programs on the other hand, do not get much media coverage. Hypnosis for weight loss is vastly different those performances you see on stage or on television. There are no stage hypnotist telling you to do silly antics rather, these programs are done in privacy and by a qualified weight loss hypnosis therapist or in the comfort of your own home if you are doing a weight management program by listening to hypnosis cds for weight loss.
If you are an individual who has been suffering from weight problems and have tried every single kind of diets and exercise routine without any major successes, then it is important that you know and are aware of what weight loss hypnosis is and how it can help you tremendously in gaining control of your weight back.
Weight loss hypnosis is not a new fad in the weight management industry. In fact, its techniques has been used and modified continuously throughout the years in helping people control smoking, improve memory, control pain and of course lose weight. Why should you be aware of hypnosis for weight loss ? Simple, the reason is that, it works ! It is effective in controlling your cravings and allows you to activate your inner motivator in periods where you feel tired and thinking of skipping your exercise routine.
How does a weight loss hypnosis program do that ? Under a guidance of hypnosis cds specifically designed for weight management or through working with the help of a qualified weight loss hypnosis therapist, your inner habits that resides in your subconscious mind will be “re-programmed” to replace the unhealthy eating habits with good eating habits instead. Your habits and thoughts and behaviors resides in the subconscious portion of your brain and this portion is the powerhouse part of your brain because it deals with your feelings and emotions. Research has shown that feelings and emotions almost always overrides logic. That’s why sometimes you know that some food are bad for you, but you end up eating it anyway.
Weight loss hypnosis erases these unhealthy thoughts. Instead, it tries to plant new thoughts about food and the choices you can make about food. This immediately give you the power to get control of your cravings towards food. Your mind will now sudden be more aware of what you are about to put into your mouth and whether it will help you lose weight or not. No more uncontrollable late night snacking or binge eating sessions as your subconscious mind now serves as your nutritionist everywhere you go.
Weight loss hypnosis also complements any diet or exercise program you are going through. Besides implanting positive thoughts in your mind, you are also thought goal setting techniques to help you achieve a realistic weight loss goal for yourself. This is important because many people who have taken up such programs give up after a while because they think that by going to a couple of these sessions, their unwanted pounds will shed off by itself automatically. In contrast, weight loss hypnosis programs are not stand alone problems. You will still need to keep to your diet and exercise programs, however, through a hypnosis program, you will be better equipped with the mindset and the power to follow through what ever diet and exercise regimes that you have chosen. This power will enable you to keep the weight off for the rest of your life without pushing or forcing yourself to stick to a diet or an exercise regime.

Alan B. Densky, CH asked:
With freezing, wintry days ahead for many of us, the thought of braving the elements to get to the gym or go for a run does not sound very engaging. Maintaining the motivation to adhere to your weight loss goals when the rest of the world wants to hibernate is simple with hypnosis for weight loss.
Many us who want to get back into shape agree that motivation is especially challenging when the weather changes, so what if you could stay dedicated to your diet and exercise plan just by viewing a hypnotherapy weight loss DVD or listening to a CD? Better yet, a hypnotherapy weight loss program can ease your compulsions too.
Self-hypnosis for weight loss works simply, but effectively, by leading you to a deeply relaxed state where your unconscious can more effortlessly accept post-hypnotic suggestions, like the ones that will keep you motivated to keep on your fitness track, even in the middle of winter.
It is a known fact that if a person exercises, it will speed up his/her metabolism and boost the rate that weight is dropped. Some of the most successful hypnosis exercise motivation techniques comes from Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP. With NLP, the unconscious is programmed to use the same thought processes that are initiating a problem, to get rid of it. Said another way, the same thought processes that the unconscious utilizes to create oral compulsions and cravings could help to completely stop them! And similarly, the same processes can be used to increase your motivation to exercise.
Anchoring is an NLP method that can be used to give you a “switch” for activating feelings and behaviors. Creating an appetite hypnosis anchor works simply and effectively like this: A qualified hypnotherapy weight loss practitioner will safely direct you into a tranquil hypnotic state. Then the hypnotherapist will ask you to identify a time when you were excited and happy about anything in your life.
The point of this exercise is to remember and re-experience as many sensations as possible from numerous times in your life when you felt motivated and eager to do anything at all. Then, the hypnotherapist will ask you to anchor those feelings by simply touching two fingers together.
Next, you will be asked to visualize yourself exercising and enjoying it. As you produce this mental picture, you’ll trigger your anchor by touching those two fingers together again. When you complete this action, your unconscious will connect the feeling of excitement and eagerness from the other memory to the thought of exercising.
From this point on, any time you need to feel motivated to exercise, you can simply trigger your anchor and re-experience those same affirmative feelings that will motivate you to workout. NLP and weight loss hypnosis can even be used to dissuade behaviors, so you can easily overcome cravings. That sounds much easier and encouraging than beating yourself up for missing a workout or giving into temptation, doesn’t it?
A successful weight loss hypnosis program will also address the root cause of weight gain for many people, namely a lack of self-esteem. In a relaxed state, you can be given post-hypnotic suggestions that will develop your self-esteem as you lose more weight. The lack of self-esteem is a big reason for being overweight.
A lot of people wonder if, after trying every new diet and purchasing every piece of exercise equipment on the market, something as straight forward as weight loss hypnosis can help them. The good news is that research shows that all normal people are hypnotizable to a greater or lesser extent. However, it should be noted that people who have less than a 70 I.Q. or those who are in an active state of psychosis or with senility generally are not hypnotizable.
But for the rest of us, hypnotherapy for weight loss can actually help us look forward to eating healthily and working out. That said, the key proponent for victory in any fitness routine, whether it incorporates weight loss hypnosis or not, is wanting to attain your weight loss goals.
On a related note, that is exactly why you can not force someone to undergo weight loss hypnotherapy just by giving them suggestions. If someone is against an idea, no amount of weight loss hypnosis they hear or see will take hold. Looking to the NLP explanation above, if someone does not posses a memory of feeling motivated or positive, they can still be successful with hypnotherapy and NLP because they can envision what it would feel like if they did feel that way, and anchor those imagined feelings.
So, if you are like many of us and find your drive dwindling as the temperatures drop and the days get darker, weight loss hypnosis can help regain (or maintain) your passion for carrying out and finally achieving your fitness goals.

John Leogue asked:
If you’ve tried drab diets and fad fitness trends to no avail, perhaps it’s time to consider a weight loss alternative. No, we’re not talking about diet pills or liquid meals. What we are talking about is hypnosis - weight loss hypnosis, to be exact.
Not sure you can “think” yourself thin? That’s understandable. After all, if you could think those unwanted pounds away, they wouldn’t still be there and have you raging the war of your life with your own body, right?
So, you may be surprised to learned that weight loss hypnosis, which may best be described as a psychological condition or state in which an individual may be induced to show apparent differences in behavior and thinking regarding food, can be used to help you lose weight and even maintain your ideal weight once you achieve it.
In fact, weight loss hypnosis applications are being used with greater frequency in the medical and health-related fields today, with successes being touted in the treatment of sleep disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, weight loss, pain control, and more.
“Generally, the hypnotic state is defined as a state of focused concentration - a condition akin to being so absorbed in a good book that the outside world seems to fade away,” explains Guy Montgomery, president of the Society of Psychological Hypnosis, a division of American Psychological Association.
According to Montgomery, it’s during this state that patients become more open to suggestion.
But how does this apply to you and, more specifically to weight loss hypnosis? Well, for a stress eater, Montgomery might tell patients to picture themselves in a relaxing place whenever they feel the impulse to overeat.
Whether hypnosis will bring results varies from person to person as in any other treatment, Montgomery explained in the article. “We don’t view (hypnosis) as a stand-alone therapy, but as an additional technique,” he is quoted as saying.
Yes, weight loss hypnosis may be THE strong tool you need to finally achieve your weight loss dreams because it can be used to modify the very behaviors that seem to sabotage even your best diet and fitness efforts.
Additionally, weight loss hypnosis can help you control your cravings, to say no to those tempting late-night snacks, even help you to keep on walking when colleagues at work pass the fresh-baked brownies around the break room.
It all starts with realizing that your eating habits are more than likely caused by your emotions and not your grumbling stomach. Much stronger that your average appetite, your emotions may be the culprit for all of those unwanted pounds.
And, this is where hypnosis comes in.
Weight loss hypnosis gets to the root of your problem, your emotions, and helps you to finally succeed in controlling cravings, portions, etc. - all the things that add up to weight loss and weight management.
While you can learn some of the very basics of weight loss hypnosis, it is important to follow the advice of a professional, someone who has had success in the weight loss hypnosis arena. In particular, you want to work with a professional that boasts success in using weight loss hypnosis to achieve real life weight loss results.
