A Lot of Dieting is Wishful Shrinking

Are you a yo-yo dieter?  Joined diet groups, read books, tried every healthy eating programme you can find?  And has every diet resulted in less weight loss and for a shorter time?

Relax… you are not alone and the good news is that there is nothing wrong with you!

According to the National Association for Eating Disorders “At best modern weight control programmes can achieve weight losses of around 15 pounds but the proportion of people who maintain their losses for over 5 years is in single figures. Only one in 20 people who join commercial weight control programmes is said to reach goal weight. Further, half of all dieters put back even more weight than they have lost.”

There is increasing evidence that dieters get locked into a losing battle with their own bodies which fight like mad to resist the starvation process.  Your subconscious mind knows from the outset that you hate dieting because it feels like deprivation, so it actually tries to protect you by encouraging you to eat all the ‘forbidden foods’, believing that these make you feel happy!  Every time you ‘fail’ to lose weight on a diet, your subconscious logs in that failure, and next time you try again, it will work even harder to put you off.

Hypnotherapy can help you RELEASE weight slowly and safely by changing the out-of-date information in your subconscious mind and enhancing your natural willpower without the need for dieting.

Forget New Year’s resolutions (they don’t work either).  Try exercising your mind for a change with hypnotherapy!
