Does Hypnosis Work For Weight Loss?
Posted: 01-31-06 09:14am

I was watching the news and they had a story about a man who lost a lot of weight through hypnosis. He used a company at easywillpower.Com. They say it is $59 for the hypnosis which seems to cheap. I am looking for feedback. This is for my fiance who wants to lose weight before we get married in september.


Thanks,

mark

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 Smile

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%bf and wonder why nothig works. Get the education its instillled in your head forever...BE SMART PLEASE!
