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. |

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. LassChance (aka WIR) Start LC~5-16-05 202-199-165 (i only weigh on Sunday) |

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 know several people who have used it for cessation of smoking but none for dieting. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Self-hypnosis works better IMHO. Do some googling for sleep learning tapes. 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. -- No Husband Has Ever Been Shot While Doing The Dishes |
