Weight
Loss Hypnosis Has its Pros & Cons
Quit smoking, overcome
your fears, let go of the past; hypnosis is touted as curing many
behavioral problems, and the pinnacle of all hypnosis claims is
the belief that hypnosis can lead to permanent weight loss. Hypnosis
certainly seems painless enough, but is weight loss hypnosis a true
cure for those stubborn pounds you’ve been trying to shed
for years?
As with all medical
claims, weight loss hypnosis has its believers and non-believers.
One particular weight loss hypnosis provider, the “A Better
You” weight loss hypnosis program advertised on www.prosperusa.com,
has been reviewed by several major media outlets including Dateline
NBC, Oprah’s O magazine, Shape magazine, and many more. The
positive reviews say that weight loss hypnosis, when done properly
and with a willing subject, imprints new lifestyle habits on the
subconscious brain. Over time, weight loss hypnosis is thought to
improve a person’s diet and increase their motivation to exercise.
However, some subjects have said that the positive effects of weight
loss hypnosis wear off if you stop the hypnosis treatments.
In addition to
the belief that the positive effects of weight loss hypnosis may
diminish over time, there are other objections to weight loss hypnosis.
First, many experts warn that weight loss hypnosis is not a “miracle”
cure and is not as immediate as some websites would have you believe.
Also, weight loss hypnosis appears to only work in a certain segment
of the population. Finally, weight loss hypnosis, in itself, does
not help you lose weight—it only is meant to change your lifestyle
in a way that promotes weight loss.
In other words,
weight loss hypnosis attempts to reach your subconscious mind so
that you will eat less, stop cravings, be more motivated to exercise,
and eliminate high-calorie foods from your diet. Not only does weight
loss hypnosis supposedly encourage you to achieve these lifestyle
changes, but hypnosis is also touted as a way to make dieting and
exercise an enjoyable experience.
