Hypnosis and Weight Loss

by Renee Dietz | More from this Blogger

If you live in the United States, chances are high that you or someone you know is among the epidemic of overweight people. Unfortunately, we have seen the numbers on the nation's scale climbing. In fact, more than any other time in history, our nation is in a serious health crisis directly relating to weight. Now, many people have great success with weight loss by changing diet and incorporating exercise into the daily regimen. However, other people struggle due to biological factors, meaning greater intervention is needed.

In addition to losing weight to look and feel better, the more important factors are those related to health risks such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and other forms of disease. While there are many excellent options when it comes to dropping weight, one that is often overlooked is hypnosis. Unfortunately, people will try thing after thing, only to be faced with defeat but instead of staying on the rollercoaster of weight gain and weight loss, hypnosis has proven to provide amazing results for thousands of people.

Remember, hypnosis has been used for centuries to help people overcome illnesses and more recently, to stop smoking, battle anxiety, and even lose weight. Whether you decide to use self-hypnosis or prefer to work with a reputable hypnotherapist, you might try hypnosis. We live in a crazy world, moving at super sonic speed. With overflowing scheduled, high-pressured meetings, and trying to balance career with kids, stress is high and time is limited. What happens when people feel stressed? Typically, they start to eat comfort foods. Without much time to sit down to a well-balanced meal, people also grab fast food or foods loaded with empty calories. The result in both cases is weight gain.

Hypnosis is not some mystical power that people fear but a respected medical solution that can address the underlying cause of stress, thus the seen results of the stress to include excessive weight. New studies show that cortisol in humans plays a key role in the body's stress response system and that just 24 hours after the chronic stress system has been activated, the same system that stimulates hormonal signals to the adrenal glands, pleasure seeking behaviors are prompted to include eating comfort foods.

What this means is that if the focus is on excess weight and not the cause of the weight gain, the battle of the bulge will be lost time after time. With hypnosis, the stress is addressed so the brakes on eating comfort foods or overeating can be applied.
