Lose Weight without Dieting

All the talk of eating healthy and exercising will only play a small part in assisting the majority of overweight and obese people, what they need is to simply change their language and re-program their old belief systems. Thus embracing a mind shift to a new weigh (way) of life. Thus bringing about permanent change.

Lets start with the word “Lose” for example – Yes, it is just a word, however it IS a very powerful word.
This single word is one of the BIGGEST problems. We give words, thoughts and feelings and therefore we give them POWER!

The basics is that you do not want to tell your mind and body that you have LOST anything. Food for thought – think about this. When you lose something – for example your car keys , you go into a frantic panic and search for them, leaving no stone unturned until you find them. Same thing with Losing Weight We tell ourselves we are losing weight, others notice we have lost weight and so often when we reach our goal weight we then go into the grief, loss, seek and find process. Hence the Yo-Yo diet pattern.
We need to also educate the community to Change their Language to Change their Outcome.

Weight Loss Hypnosis

We work with and focus on a weight management program, where the weight just simply drips away, it is not about dieting, deprivation or losing anything, it is about what is right and healthy for you.

A well known daytime television presenter is known for disputing that weight issues are associated with emotions.

BUT STOP – Think about when we eat.
– When we are sad
– When we are happy
– When we are bored
– When we celebrate
– When we commiserate.
ALL Emotional Situations.

Another well known celebrity the big “O” – Yes Oprah, opening admits her eating issues are associated with emotions. Oprah is true to herself and seeks to continue to work on the core issues.

We need to rid ourselves of old belief systems like:

  • Eat everything on your plate
  • Can’t waste food
  • I’m big – I will always be big.
  • We are all big in our family – it is just in our genes
  • Sweets as a reward for eating all of our food
  • Alcohol and food at the end of the day, because I work hard and deserve it.

We need to focus on – Eating Healthy, Being Healthy, Thinking Healthy, Living Healthy, these are the Basic Elements to a New Weigh of Life. Weight then just drips away.

YES – You need to Change.
But that change can be simple – Once you make the decision to change, the body and mind accept and move into the “How”

Train to Change – Change Thinking Patterns, Feeling Patterns, Eating Patterns and Living Patterns and then we will bring about permanent change.

We can eat foods that we like – it is like everything in life – it is just about moderation, food combinations and portion sizes.
– small amounts to refuel the body and to give it energy.

Question to ask self is : When are you going to STOP treating your body like a rubbish bin?
Yes a rubbish bin, we fill it to over flowing, throw in scraps, leftovers and rubbish. Half the time we don’t even consider what we throw in.

People need to think about what they are eating, bring it to the most important decision you are making and begin to treat our body like our most precious and prized possession, that it truly is.

Therefore it is not just about Food and Exercise, it needs to include Thoughts and Attitude as well.

People need to understand and educate themselves with what the body needs when they think it is craving sugars or sweets.

I not only work with overweight and obese, I also work with other eating disorders such as Anorexia, Bulimia and my success is achieved by guiding them to control their thoughts and feelings.

People have a Choice
To succeed is to change the thought of depravation.

I really want people to know that there is a way to permanent change – to live a quality, rich life. Many obese people have lost hope and I want to share with then that there IS hope, and that it CAN be achieved without surgery, that they CAN live a healthy life and not have to struggle all of the time.

Life can easily be Balanced, Happy and Fun.

Why do People…

               Crave for Chocolate? 

 

Hypnosis to Help with Chocolate CravingsTo crave means to have an intense desire for something and in the case of chocolate it means a strong liking or obsession for it, and in excessive amounts. The interesting question to ask is why people crave for chocolate? Chocolate works like a drug in the body that is why like medicine, chocolate can also be very addictive. For this reason also, craving for chocolate is associated with problems in weight gain.

Chocolate being able to evoke similar drug related pharmacologic effects and behaviour patterns has a high potential to be very addictive.  To add to these characteristics that make people crave for chocolate are the hedonic pleasures it gives from its sweet taste, smooth texture and inviting aroma. The pleasure that it gives makes it the primary factor why people crave for chocolate and in some instances become addictive.
In addition to the hedonic pleasures that chocolate gives it is also closely associated with positive behaviour, mood and emotion changes. These behavioural changes are an effect of chocolate’s components such as biogenic amines, cannabinoids and methylxanthines that give the brain the boost it needs to create the positive feeling and emotion.
These brain effects come from the stimulation of dopamine and serotonin as an effect of chocolate consumption. Dopamine and serotonin are considered as “happy hormones.” These hormones tend to fluctuate especially among women as an effect of the hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle. This explains why during the pre-menstrual period women crave for chocolate to counter the mild depression syndrome effects of the hormonal changes.
People who crave for chocolate find this boost an extra source and means of relaxation or positive sensory stimulation. These psychopharmacologic effects are real that is why chocolate craving can potentially result to chocolate addiction and weight gain problems.
Since, chocolate craving has the potential to cause more serious health problems such as high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, excessive weight gain and serious behaviour conditions such as obsessive chocolate craving or chocolate addiction, hypnotherapists suggest early detection and treatment.
Hypnotherapists can help the chocolate craving and it can be controlled through hypnosis. Hypnosis for weight loss is the method of altering the state of consciousness to positively re-channel the pleasure centres to more acceptable and positive means such as exercise and other relaxation techniques. Hypnotherapy works by allowing the individual to consciously decide to control the chocolate craving.
A hypnotherapist conducts hypnotherapy as a series of treatment sessions until the desired outcome is achieved. (Which for a Chocolate Craving is usually only one or two sessions) It is done through the process of hypnosis. Hypnosis for weight loss allows the hypnotherapist and the individual to access the subconscious pleasure centres of the latter. Then both the hypnotherapist and individual will work together to disassociate chocolate craving from feelings and emotions; hunger and appetite pleasure centres.
To disassociate means that an individual will gain conscious control of eating chocolate only in acceptable amounts. It will allow the individual to control the chocolate craving because the pleasure centres will be trained to focus on healthier and productive means of relaxation and satisfaction.

Brain Effects of Chocolate and How it Becomes Addictive

Chocolate has a long history of use and consumption and is in fact famous among royalties around the world from the early ancient times. It has been a popular drink as early as 460 AD and in the past, chocolate used to be a bitter drink that provides energy and vitality for those who consume it. Among the famous people who were known chocolate drinkers include Aztec Emperor Montezuma, Christopher Columbus and Swiss confectioner Rodolphe Lindt.

It was also used as a medicinal alternative to cure symptoms like weight loss, body weakness, stomach aches, anemia, fever, skin irritations, poor sexual appetite and many others.

Today, chocolate has evolved into a variety of uses and has caught the attention of researchers on its effect to the brain. Researchers have also tried to identify its close association with issues like weight gain, eating disorders and chocolate addiction.

Chocolate addiction presents itself in various ways according to studies. They can manifest as a result of mood and behavior conditions; it can also be a symptom of dieting and eating issues; or it can be associated with the pleasure centres of the brain that provides euphoric effects.

The specific effects of eating chocolate are associated with certain brain activities, which will explain why it becomes very addictive. A group of neuroscientists from the US and Canada performed a study using PET (positron emission tomography) scan to determine the activities and areas of the brain that are associated with chocolate addiction. The results showed that the pleasant sensation and sweet taste of chocolate were attributed to the increased blood flow to the orbital frontal and mid part of the brain.

These areas of the brain control thoughts, emotions and feelings, which are also seen to have been activated in people with addiction to cocaine. In addition, the frontal lobe of the brain contains the highest levels of Dopamine, which controls attention, reward and drive. The midbrain on the other hand, also produces certain levels of Dopamine that has an important role in motivation and habitation characteristics of humans.

This gives an interesting explanation to the effect of eating chocolate to the brain. Consumption of chocolate stimulates the frontal and mid lobes of the brain that then fuels the Dopamine rush, which creates the euphoric sensations that makes it addictive. The same study also showed that eating chocolate takes several levels of motivation. This is significant to consider because the effects of eating chocolate as a form of reward or as a form of pleasure satisfaction record different brain activities.

Another point to consider is the fact that chocolate like addictive drugs are considered “primary enforcers,” therefore, are both perceived as highly addictive. Chocolate addiction is further elicited by the smooth texture and sweet taste that makes it very pleasant and rewarding.

Since this is considered a behavior concern, one of the treatment methods to consider is hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy for chocolate addictions is conducted by a professional hypnotherapist to alter the state of consciousness that will focus the attention of the client to other relaxation and pleasure centres of the brain that will take the place of the sensations provided by eating chocolate. A hypnotherapist will conduct hypnosis and work with the client to consciously re-channel attention to other relaxation activities that will focus the same level of satisfaction that eating chocolate provides.

Losing Weight with the Assistance of Hypnosis.

Hypnotic Gastric Banding TherapyJoin me on a discussion on weight loss using the powerful tool, hypnosis. Here we will discuss a little about the process that patients go through during the Hypnotic Gastric Banding Therapy treatment and process.

The number of overweight and obese people, particularly in Western countries is growing at an alarming rate, statistics in Australia from 2005 show that 67.4% of adults are overweight and the number is on the increase each year.

Despite the increased awareness of health and fitness in the community, there are still a lot of people who are unaware of the importance of staying fit and therefore many treat their body poorly and remain unhealthy as a result.

A growing number of people suffering from obesity often turn to the surgical gastric lap band procedure to help lose weight and of course in many cases this is often initially successful, however many, without the assistance of counsellor or similar therapist to address the underlying issues and get to the actual core problem, which is NEVER about the food, the majority of people will at some stage, gain all the weight they have battled and strived to lose, and not only that weight, but usually a considerable amount more.

Many people is this situation, who have tried all the pills and potions and all the fade diets, often feel that the only possible solution to their problem is to revert to surgery, they have lost hope and can no longer even imagine themselves as a slim, fit, healthy person.

As with most things in life, surgery should always be the absolute last resort. Surgery and modern medicine is amazing of course and there is a place for it, however there really is nothing natural or healing about being knocked unconscious and having people cut into your body with surgical instruments, and if you can avoid that, I feel, that it is very important to do so, if you possibly can.

One very successful option to avoiding surgery is Hypnotic Gastric Banding Therapy. One very common question that people ask about this procedure is; “Is it really possible?” And let me tell you, the answer to that is most definitely a huge big “YES, YES IT IS!”

Whilst most people opt for individual one on one sessions with their Hypnotherapist, (check the credentials of your therapist and make sure your Hypnotherapist is certified to deliver the program), public group trials have proven that the Hypnotic Gastric Banding procedure has work very well for the majority of people. One recent study had 25 participants and 24 out of the 25 were actually losing weight and continuing to lose weight during and after the trial period, the only person who was not losing weight, was simply not following the necessary steps and guidelines.

Yes steps and guidelines, the surgical procedure has steps and guidelines as does the hypnotic procedure and naturally for success with either procedure the guidelines need to be adhered too, because as with absolutely everything in life, if you want something to change, you simply need to do things differently. Just like a recipe for a chocolate cake, if you want to make a carrot cake, you can not use the same ingredients that you would use for your chocolate cake, you need to alter the recipe. Life is the same.

Ok, so what is involved with Hypnotic Gastric Banding Therapy?

Well the therapist opens up your subconscious mind to suggestion and does not try to alter an old habit, but rather to create a new one.

The Hypnotherapist will suggest to your subconscious mind that you actually have a surgical band fitted to your stomach and that your stomach is only the size of a golf ball. During the procedure the Hypnotherapist will talk you through the process. Your journey will begin with the therapist taking you into a very relaxed state of consciousness and you are the guided through all of the hospital sounds that one can expect to hear, such as the voices and noises as you are wheeled on your gurney down the corridors of the hospital on your way to the operating theatre. You will pass by doctors and nurses rushing by in the hospital, the bangs and clangs of sterile stainless steel bowls and instruments and the general everyday noises of a busy metropolitan hospital.

Your gurney (operating trolley) then stops as you approach the operating room, and the nurse asks if you are ready to have the gastric band surgery. You reply “Yes” and then the anesthetist steps forward to administer the anesthetic. You can hear people talking about the gastric band procedure, you hear monitors beeping and you feel that you are being surgically operated on. The hypnotic gastric banding weight loss therapy takes you through the whole surgical process. After the surgery, you are then rolled back into the recovery room, as the therapist brings you back into the moment, at this point many people actually check their stomach, to check if they have actually had surgery, as their mind firmly believes they now have a gastric band fitted and they really feel their stomach is restricted to eating smaller amounts.

Gastric band surgery as you probably already know, is a very popular option for major weight loss. A lot of very overweight and obese people have undergone the surgery and have successfully dropped hundreds of pounds and kilos. Weight loss with the assistance of hypnosis is another option to the Gastric Lap Band Surgery. Patients who have undergone the hypnotic version, feel that they really have had the surgery, as I mentioned many of them even raise their shirts to see if they have an incision after the surgery they believe they have just had, the thought placed deeply within their subconscious by the hypnotherapist is so strong that people find it difficult to believe that they haven’t had the surgery.

Hypnotic Gastric Banding or Weight Loss with the assistance of hypnosis is pain free and also a safe way to have the gastric band surgery. There is an alternative to spending large amounts of money on the surgery and you don’t need the often extended recovery time. You have all the benefits of the surgery but without the risks. Hypnotic Gastric Banding is becoming more and more popular as many television shows feature them. Weight loss via hypnosis is a great alternative and a lot of clients can attest to the fact that they have lost hundreds of pounds from this form of therapy.

Enjoy opening your mind and exploring the different possibilities in life. Hypnotherapy is now widely accepted and is becoming more so as the amazing results are becoming more well known and a lot of doctors, others in the medical professionals and natural therapists see and recommend the treatments of available utilizing hypnotherapy.
