Counting calories or carbs. Consulting a good foods/bad foods list. Controlling food intake with painful “no’s.” Traditional approaches to weight loss rely on watchfulness and self-discipline, which involve stress, effort and almost inevitably, disappointment.
A different approach transforms the inner, personal landscape of motives and rewards. Done right, this new approach effortlessly changes the eating patterns and other behaviors that piled on the extra pounds and kept them there.
Why Are We Overweight?
The diet industry and medical community completely miss the point on this question. If we want to lose weight, we first need to address the reasons we got fat in the first place! But all that is discussed is the method of weight gain – excessive food and lack of exercise, but not the reason.
By failing to address the reason for weight gain, diets keep failing. In our society we are lead to believe that if we do not lose weight permanently at a diet, then it is our failure. But the opposite is true! It is the diet failing us.
When people genuinely want to make a change and can’t, there usually are what we call secondary gains going on – indirect benefits from the behavior they’re trying to eliminate. With overeating, for example, the secondary gain might be feeling protected by the extra pounds or avoiding conflicts with a jealous spouse.
Achieving Permanent Weight Loss
When someone tries to lose weight and just can’t keep it off, the secondary gains are often buried in the subconscious. This is where hypnosis comes in. Hypnosis addresses self-sabotaging habits at the level of their root motivation and substitutes healthy coping mechanisms for the unhealthy ones.
Once the secondary gains are resolved, the struggles end, and the person easily and naturally makes choices consistent with their goal.
People can painlessly transform their behavior to reach their weight loss goal. Hypnosis helps the listener exchange counter-productive eating habits for healthy eating habits. Then the listener learns to let go of their need for emotional eating, then build a positive body image. And the listener becomes motivated to exercise, which reinforces the other changes.
Within a short time, these become permanent life style choices, which lead to a healthy body, lean figure, increased energy and a calmer state of mind.
A New Style of Hypnosis
A good quality hypnosis audio program for weight loss includes four components that help someone struggling with weight issues: eating habits, emotional eating, body image, and motivation to exercise.
This is a breakthrough in hypnosis for weight loss programs. There have been hypnosis for weight loss available for many years, but most of them work only in the short term. They teach the listener random associations, like seeing the color red triggering fullness.
But these associations don’t last forever, especially since there are so many associations we each already have when it comes to eating.
Furthermore, the authoritarian style in most hypnosis programs are counterproductive and don’t work on many people. Not everyone responds to authority the same and many ingrained eating habits are a result of some sort of subconscious rebellion against an authority to begin with.
