Has anyone used Hypnosis to help with diet cravings?

I am doing pretty well on a low carb diet but sometimes after I take a
weekend off I have really bad cravings and I was wondering if hypnosis
has worked for anyone. -Thx

I've been helping my son too much with his science project. I read
this as "hypothosis"... LOL

OK - to the OP... I've "heard" hypnosis works for some, but you have
to be the type to be suceptible to hypnosis. I'm not one of those, I
couldn't be hypnotized.

Weekends tend to be hard on people. (especially those who work m-f -
as the weekend is a break from the routine). What is causing your
cravings is the carbs you are eating on the weekends. If you can
learn to control the carb intake on the weekends, you'd have better
luck w/ the cravings and you'd save yourself $$ on hypnosis. :-)

The way I look at it - its a win/win situation. You continue losing,
you kill the cravings and you don't spend the $$. (more in your
wallet for when you buy new clothes after you've lost the weight)

It removed $60.00 bucks from my pocket! That's about it in my
experience. My wife went to a session also (another 60 bucks!) to stop
smoking. She didn't quit smoking, but she lost 10 lbs sson afterwards!

well, maybe you need to go to the quitsmoking session so you can lose
weight. - sounds like the hypnosis got their process crossed. :-)

My brother went and after 20something years of smoking, walked out the door,
thru his pack of cigarettes in the trash and never had another.
It helped me tremendously w/ labor pain and delivery. I have yet to go for wt
loss, but I'm planning on it once I get the $$ together.
Make sure the one you go to is not just some person that has an office. Check
their educaion and history. The one that we have gone to has an MD, PHD and is
certified by some national orgination (can't remember the name right now)
Where do you live? ... if in Ohio it would be well worth your drive.

Nahh, JayJay. They already got $120 from the two of us. I'm doing fine
losing weight and spending no money on any experts advice or special
plans. I'll use the money to go buy some badly needed new clothes
though. I was wearing size 42 pants in January and wearing size 34's
now. I still pick up the 34's before getting into them and think NO
WAY I'm getting into those. I guess in my head I still think I'm much
larger than I really am.

I never used hypnosis to lose weight, haven't had to yet but I did
use a free self-hypnosis thing to study last year for finals and it
really helped!

You might want to try that to see if you can at least be hypnotized.
I think the site is mindstrength.com or .net but it isn't working
right now ;[

Oh well...good luck!!! gtg -gogirrl

No. And I've never seen a study showing that it works.
