Hypnosis is also known as visualization, creative visualization, deep relaxation, progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, and deep breathing.
Hypnosis Therapy - Can you find relief from problems by entering a trance? Can another person guide your mind to improve your thought patterns?

Erm, hypnosis makes you fall into a sleeplike trance, so wouldn't you lose less calories than you would if you were awake? I'd go with conventional exercise unless you have already tried intensive and scientific conventional programs that showed no signs of improvement. If you want workout ideas, feel free to send me a private message

I've never heard of this. How is this method done? Does he get the "you are getting very sleepy.....", make the guy fall under hypnosis and tell him to start jogging like he is in fat camp and never stop until he says so? Yes, I am saying this in jest, because I cannot conceive what would be accomplished through this. Could you explain what exactly is done post hypnosis.

Your lady should try to lose weight via working out instead of cheating her way to get it. But, that is just my opinion and most people rather pay and have the easy way out of things instead of working hard for it. Exercise will do far more to a person's body then just strength gains and weight loss, there are many health benefits it would provide that I doubt any hypnosis can do.

I don't think you will get too many comments about this hypnosis weight loss program from people who have done it, so the best I can say is to try it a few times and judge it yourself if she got slimmer.

take that $60 and find a personal trainer or nutritionist liek myself and pay them to set you straight and change your lifestyle rather than some hippie, bogus hypnosis session. What an easy way out! The same kind of people who are too cheap to get training will go out and buy a $65 container of no-explode and hydroxycut b/c jay cutler uses it while they sit at 25¿ and wonder why nothig works. Get the education its instillled in your head forever...BE SMART PLEASE!

Of course being a hypnotist myself, I am going to say yes it can (NOT will).
The reason is quite straightforward. Weight loss begins in the mind, and if your thinking is conditioned to eat sensibly and be active, then logically physical changes will take place.
Of course it is not always that simple. One reason for this is that food nowadays is so messed up with, and there is so much misinformation, for example, we are told to consume vegetable oils to prevent heart disease, and yet heart disease has increased over the last 20 years.
Of course some hypnotherapists are better than others, and sadly many are a bit "new age" to be taken seriously. Yes it is not a quick fix, for me a customer must be focussed on doing 3 sessions with the option of a follow up between 3-6 months.
What I can definately say is that with hypnosis you are not going to get worse, you either stay the same, or get better, and I am pleased to say from my experience working with people, is that it is usually successful.

I should also point out that the weight loss gained is NOT my success, it is the success of the person wishing to lose weight. It is a bit like a driving instructor. They don't "make" you drive, you are the one in charge of the car, but with the right guidance AND with the student doing the work, then though not guaranteed, the learner has a greater chance of success.....hypnotherapy follows the same principle.

Plus it is very relaxing.

If you dont feel like working out booaring or going to a ym they say Wii is a GREAT exersize and they sayalso there selling a excellent game for the wWii that is mad fun but feels like your jsut having fun

I am doing some hypnosis CDs right now along with exercise and eating well. My weakness is junk food and not eating well. I have been trying to stop drinking sodas for the last decade but to no avail. Through self hypnosis, I was able to not have a single sip of sodas for the last two weeks (never happened before). My goal is to eat healthy foods, exercise and where ever the weight falls is where I'll be happy because I am treating my body well. Hypnosis won't hurt and can only help. Besides, it's very relaxing and forces you to take time out for yourself.

This is a good question. Hypnosis itself is very safe, with no negative side-effects. The danger in hypnosis for weight loss is that someone suffering from anorexia or other hidden issues might use sessions in a way that could potentially be damaging to their health.

Is this really effective? I never really heard of it. The logic to it is that hypnosis is only related to the mind. How can it affect the body with regards to weight loss?
