Weight
loss hypnosis
for weight loss has been scientifically studied and shown to aid in
losing weight. Hypnosis places you in a state of altered consciousness
that allows you to be receptive to suggestions for change. Time,
thoughts, and
memories can become distorted. Your mind is dissociated from the
environment, your emotions, and your senses.
One side of your brain
(more often the left than the right) is dominate over the other.
Posthypnotic suggestions
can be made during hypnosis that act on the non-dominant half to affect
your behavior during your everyday normal life.
Not
everyone can be hypnotized. About two-thirds of adults can be
hypnotized, and about 10% of people are highly hypnotizable. There are
several techniques that are used in hypnosis, and different ones may
work better for some people than they do in others. Self hypnosis can
be done with the aid of hypnosis tapes or CDs.
Does Weight
Loss Hypnosis Work?
There
have been studies to see whether or not and how well weight loss
through hypnosis works. Researchers have found that
people lost almost twice as much weight with hypnotherapy than
people who were not hypnotized. In a study on women who did and who did
not smoke, weight loss hypnotherapy caused a significant weight loss
and lowered these women's BMIs.
It can also help in people who have
eating disorders.
Hypnosis has even been shown
to
help adolescents with diabetes be more compliant on their medicines,
causing their blood sugars to come under better control.
How Much
Weight Can I Lose with
Hypnosis?
Everyone is different, but on
average, people who underwent counseling (behavioral therapy) and
weight loss hypnosis lost 32 pounds. This is compared to 13 pounds in
people who had weight loss behavioral therapy without hypnosis. One
study showed that in 3 months, people lost 2-3% of their body weight
and some weight loss was still present 18 months later.

It is important you
discuss any weight loss or exercise plan with your doctor. Only you and
your physician can decide what is best for you. Some people have
certain conditions that prevent them from doing all exercises, and goal
body weights may be different for different people. You need to discuss
all these things with your physician before starting any weight loss or
exercise program.
