Hypnotize
the Pounds Away: Weight Loss Motivation Through Hypnosis
by: Lyta Humphris
Many individuals these days, male or female, young or old, are struggling with weight management. Concerns with rising cases obesity are no longer based upon a Hollywood conception of what is the appropriate body size. Instead of doctors wanting their patients to be "thinner", they want them to be healthier. The patients, however, are not necessarily discerning the difference.
What Has This Lead To?
Both women and men alike are becoming hooked on yo-yo diets. What is a yo-yo diet? Yo-yo dieting describes the process of going on a diet, losing a few pounds and then going off the diet. When the pounds come back, the dieter then begins another diet and the process continues. Repetitive weight loss and gain is hard on the body, especially the heart and of course, it is hard on the emotional state of the dieter as well.
In addition to this, many dieters are using unhealthy methods of losing weight. Many take dieting pills which are often just glorified caffeine pills claiming to be the miracle cure for obesity. Then, there are those who dive into the "fad diets". Whether it is the cabbage or grapefruit diets, many of these do not give individuals the nutrition they need to live healthily. In addition, low carb diets such as Atkins often create abnormally high levels of protein in the body for the liver to digest. After all, man cannot live on meat and cheese alone.
What To Do?
Sometimes, good old diet and exercise is just not enough. Maybe it?s the genes. Maybe it is behavioral choices that we make everyday without realizing how they are undermining our health. So how do we change these behaviors? One method is through weight loss motivation hypnosis. You may have visions of a creepy soul dangling a pocket watch in front of your face and your eyes beginning to spin. However, this is not what hypnosis is.
The goal of hypnosis is to access the subconscious mind. Under normal circumstances, you control your conscious level of thought while your subconscious takes care of the automatic stuff, like tying your shoes or starting the dishwasher, things that do not require conscious thought. Still, your subconscious is like the driving force that works with our conscious brain to control our actions. Sleeping is the time when consciousness is put on the back burner and the subconscious mind can take control.
Dieting Motivation Through Hypnosis
Hypnotism works on relaxing the conscious level of the mind. Although your conscious mind is subdued and the subconscious mind is allowed the front seat, you are still knowledgeable about what is going on. You and your hypnotist will work to "reprogram" the subconscious side of you. If chocolate, for example, is your weakness, your hypnotist may associate chocolate with nausea so that thinking of chocolate makes you feel nauseous.

Hypnosis
Promotes Healthy Weight Loss
by: Steve G. Jones
Hypnosis is a powerful tool that can be used to release ones full potential, especially when it comes to losing weight. If you have been on diet after diet and lost weight, only to put it on again, then you are well aware that it takes more than will power to successfully maintain weight loss. Even though you know how and what to eat and the importance of exercise, it can be difficult to lose weight. That is because losing and maintaining a healthy weight are much less about will power and much more about metabolism and psyche.
So often when people try to lose weight they verbalize a strong desire. Yet blame for failures is put on a lack of will power. Hypnosis targets an area of the mind that is often pushed to the background. By bringing about an awareness of what lies there, hypnosis can allow you to have the part of your mind that truly wants to lose weight and take center stage over the part of the mind that tells you eating that chocolate cake is what you want right now.
Part of what you have the ability to control with your mind is metabolism. Metabolism refers to how quickly your body uses its fuel sources (food) and how much will be stored. By increasing metabolism you can speed up weight loss and maintain it. Hypnosis has the ability to let you change your metabolism.
Hypnosis can teach you to use that part of the mind to create powerful and lasting changes in your life. Getting control over the physical body through willful and conscious action is what hypnosis is all about. It does it by using the information already there and making it the dominant thought instead of just stored facts.
Self driven methods of hypnosis are extremely effective in making lasting changes. You can train your metabolism through Weight Loss Self Hypnosis created by Clinical Hypnotherapist, Steve G. Jones. Visit http://www.betterlivingwithhypnosis.com/weightloss.html for more information.

Weight
Loss Tips, Tricks, and Tactics - Part 1
by: Dr Jeff Banas
I personally lost 60 pounds in 2003. Here are some tactics I used to lose the weight.
Eat every three hours. This will keep your blood sugar stable. Try to eat real food at least three times a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. In between your food meals take a good meal replacement shake or bar.
Never eat a carbohydrate by itself. This is basically all sugar. When you eat a carbohydrate by itself there is a sudden increase in sugar in the body. This causes the body to release insulin. However, the body releases too much insulin because it thinks more sugar is coming. The insulin basically grabs the sugar/carbohydrate and stores it to fat for use at some other time. Since your body released too much insulin there is not enough sugar to support the brain function. That is why you feel tired or sluggish. So you?re fatter and dumber.
Watch the gums and mints. Many of these little gums and mints contain calories, sugars, and everything else that is not good for you. Read the labels, if it has sugar in it do not eat it.
Eat foods that have 30% or less, calories from fat. Everyone is on this big no carbohydrate craze. However, did you know that 1 gram of carbohydrate contains 4 calories, 1 gram of protein contains 4 calories, and 1 gram of fat contains 9 calories? There are over twice as many calories in a single gram of fat, than in a protein or carbohydrate.
To find out how many calories are from fat check the label. The label will list the total calories and then list how many calories are from fat. If there are 100 total calories, and there are 70 calories from fat, that?s 70%, too high.
Give yourself one reward day to eat and drink whatever you want. You worked hard all week, reward yourself.
Alcohol is a converted to a sugar. Save it for your free day. If you do drink, it might also be helpful to take hydroxycitric acid capsules about 30 minutes before drinking. Hydroycitric acid is from the herb Garcinia Cambogia. This interferes with the enzyme that converts excess sugars into triglycerides, lessening the likelihood the alcohol will be stored as fat.

Loss Tips, Tricks, And Tactics - Part 2
by: Dr Jeff Banas
Get out and do some type of short cardiovascular exercise before breakfast. Even if it is only a ten minute walk. If you want to lose weight this is the best time to exercise. Your body has been working all night without any ?new? fuel to help it out. By exercising before breakfast your body will be more likely to go after the fat for energy.
During your morning exercise, imagine yourself with the body you are trying to achieve and come up with a saying that helps motivate you. When I would run in the morning I would say, ?every day and every way I am getting leaner, fitter, healthier.? I would repeat it over and over.
Eat meats that are 85% lean.
Do not ?count? your dailies activities as ?exercise?. If you are active at work or playing golf everyday, that?s great. However, your body is use to that. Walking the dog is walking the dog, that is not exercise unless you are running or walking very fast. Avoid white flour and bleach grains. Try whole-wheat noodles in your spaghetti. It freaked my kids out at first, but now they love it.
Take an antioxidant supplement every day. Most people are just not getting what they need through food.
