Hypnosis for Weight Loss
Hypnosis is a state of inner absorption and concentration, like being in a trance. Hypnosis is usually done with the help of a hypnotherapist using verbal repetition and mental images. When you’re under hypnosis, your attention is highly focused, and you’re more responsive to suggestions, including behavior changes that can help you lose weight.
Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy give the important mental edge to maintain your optimal weight forever because they make it become an easy and an automatic part of your life.
How Does Hypnosis Help Weight Loss?
Hypnosis, or more accurately hypnotherapy – using hypnosis for the purposes of therapy – can change your attitude, decisions and actions towards everything you did that made you become overweight in the first place. It can help you lose the weight in a safe and sensible way that is easy to keep doing for the rest of your life. Through direct subconscious therapy, which is made possible through the trance state in hypnosis, you can replace all the old negative thoughts that caused you to gain the weight with more positive ones. These become automatic and permanent because they are embedded at a deep subconscious level.
A skilled hypnotist or hypnotherapy recording can help you replace:
- Eating bad food with eating good food
- Inactivity with activity
- Eating for comfort with eating for necessity
- Negative emotions causing weight gain with positive emotions
- Negatively motivated decisions with positive empowered action
The actuality of Hypnosis & Weight Loss
Hypnosis is not magic and will not make you magically thin – unfortunately! What it will do is help you lose a little bit at a time, but most importantly, to do it easily and in a way that suits your lifestyle. It will help give you that extra motivation to go for a walk in the afternoon, support you to make a healthy dinner or remind you when you are eating for emotional comfort rather than necessity.
Better still, hypnosis can also assist other diets, because it gives you the mental edge to keep going with that particular diet program by improving your willpower, direction, motivation and clearly visualizing your ultimate goal. In fact one study by the American Medical Association showed more than 200% increase in the effectiveness of other diets by combining hypnosis with that diet.
Why weight loss hypnosis is so popular
Weight loss hypnosis is so popular because it helps reprogram the mind to want to eat healthy.

Hypnosis brings about true lifestyle change thereby eliminating yo-yo dieting for good.
