Hypnosis For Weight Loss – How Effective Is It?

Popularity of using hypnosis for weight loss is gaining full steam, but it is by no means a new method. As obesity continues to be on the rise, people are more and more welcoming to alternative treatments and methods to cure the disease, but does hypnosis for weight loss really work?

According to the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, it does. A 1996 issue of this journal referenced an experiment where a sample of subjects went under hypnosis before going on their diet and exercise regime, while the other group received no hypnosis treatment. The results showed that 97 percent of the subjects who undergone hypnosis lost more weight then the subjects who did not receive the additional treatment. Furthermore, the residual weight loss following the experiment continued to be successful, and the hypnotized group lost more than 140% more weight than the individuals who did no go under hypnosis.

How is this possible? When done correctly, hypnosis can strengthen ideas, and persuade you do act and think in another way. By entering a relaxed state of mind, subtle messages can be implanted deep within your subconscious and be used to produce the results you want.

An experienced hypnotist will place suggestions of healthy eating in your mind, the desire to exercise, and make you feel more energized. In addition, hypnosis for weight loss will make you imagine what you will look and feel like when you are in shape, and therefore motivate you to stay the course. By seeing yourself as skinny, in shape and as a healthy eater, you will work harder to validate that perception. As a result a real life example of perception becoming reality occurs.
