Hypnosis for weight loss

Has anyone tried hypnosis for losing weight? I was reading an ad and
wondering if it works. I know several people who have used it for
cessation of smoking but none for dieting. Your thoughts would be
appreciated.

From what I have seen using hypnosis for stopping smoking is
effective long-term in only about 30% of the cases. I wouldn't
think using it for weight-loss could be much better. IMHO.

I experimented with hypnosis in elementary school. It is a powerful
technique. I would bet that it could help one stick to a diet plan.
Perhaps you need to make a plan first, then have the hypnotist help you
stick to it.

Ive had some experience with hyypnosis.
One thing I know is, there are "good" subjects and they respond best, of
course. Being a 'good" subject mostly means being trusting enough to LET
someone hypnotise you. Some people have no problem...others find it
hard or even impossible to "give up control" to another person, often a
stranger. (uless the hypnotist happens to a friend)

Some of these less trusting folks do better with a hypnosis tape or CD
they can work with in the privacy of their home.

In general, Im a pretty good subject and have had three very successful
past life regressions. But the only time I tried it for addiction
control was for smoking, which failed, utterly. Possibly because I didnt
get good vibes from the guy...PLUS, HE was sitting there smoking his
butt off! Didnt exactly fill me with cnfidence.

It's worth a try and kind of fun....oh, and the tapes work fine, too.

Self-hypnosis works better IMHO.

Do some googling for sleep learning tapes.

Seriously.

I don't know about hypnosis, but I find that if I'm preoccupied with
something I'm less likely to "munch" throughout the day. If I'm busy
enough, eating becomes a chore instead of a respite, so I tend to eat
less then too, and eat better quality foods (rather than comfort
foods).

I have had really great results from a tape (probably now out on CD)
using Ericksonian Hypnosis from The
http://www.thechangeworks.com/cwproducts/3a_cwtapes1.html The specific
tapes are called "Sensible Weight Loss" and come in a 2 tape set. I've
used other ChangWorks tapes and have found all the ones I used to be
helpeful. I've got no financial or other interest in their company
except as a satisfied customer.

HTH YMMV IMO

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it.

All hypnosis is ultimately self-hypnosis. You have to realize you are the
one with the control and the hypnotist is only there to guide you in the
direction you want to go. It just seems that some people actually want to
get up and dance around on a stage, clucking like a chicken.
