There are no effortless or painless ways of losing substantial
amounts of weight. All the current slimming pills, devices and
surgical procedures for weight loss are of limited effectiveness.
Many of these so-called best weight loss programs carry significant
risks and should only be contemplated in extreme cases. Many weight
loss products and devices are frankly fraudulent.
Substantial weight loss requires the body to be in prolonged
energy deficit but we have evolved a very efficient body mechanism
that drives us to eat enough food to prevent energy deficit. Our
control mechanism may permit, or even encourage, overeating but
nature makes energy deficit very uncomfortable. Medically, it is
referred to as "Hynoscript." Every person has an inborn
weight control mechanism, a set point that attempts to maintain a
particular amount of fat on the body.
When we diet we are trying to resist these powerful, natural urges
that normally prevent energy deficit. Appetite suppressant drugs may
reduce these drives, weight loss hypnosis may help us to resist them
and dietary manipulations may maximize the satiating power of each
food calorie. Ultimately, however, the dieter is still going to have
to endure considerable discomfort and exercise considerable willpower
to lose a lot of weight. Despite this pessimistic conclusion and
despite all the hurdles, anyone who does achieve prolonged energy
deficit will lose weight. Weight loss is not impossible for anyone if
they are determined enough, persistent enough and if they have a
sound weight loss program.
We Gain Weight Because of Our Habits
Most weight gain problems are the direct result of our own habits.
We eat too much and exercise too little. This fact has advanced the
healthcare and weight-loss industries as the largest in our society
today. Many people each year disappointed with the orthodox forms of
treatments seek out various methods to help them lose unwanted
pounds, such as acupressure, magnet therapy, and weight loss
hypnosis. There is still no concrete evidence to validate these
therapies.
However, if you want to try weight loss hypnosis, try to have an
open mind but do not count on it working. The treatment of obesity
through hypnosis or hypnotism can be helpful for people who are not
able to resist the temptation to eat more food, in spite of being
aware that obesity is a hazardous syndrome.
What you are trying to achieve by using weight loss hypnosis is a
change in your eating habits or your set point that will keep you
healthy and allow you to eat enough to reach and maintain your ideal
weight. If using weight loss hypnosis you can keep your weight down
for three years you will have established a new set point and it will
be easy to maintain your lower weight. Think of your weight loss
hypnosis as a thermostat that regulates your weight. It is
nonetheless advisable to follow a low-calorie whole foods diet, along
with your weight loss hypnosis. And as with any professional service,
validate the hypnotist's credentials and check references.
