Weight Loss
Are you fed up with dieting? Have you tried diet clubs, named diets or do you just ‘watch what you eat’? Do you fail miserably or lose weight only to find it again as soon as you try to eat normally?
In a report on the billion pound diet industry, published in 2003, Datamonitor described the number of dieters achieving permanent weight loss as ‘appallingly low’ at around 1%. There are physiological and psychological reasons for this appallingly low success rate for diets.
In our culture, we describe something indulgent as ‘naughty but nice’. A popular diet club even refers to certain foods as ‘sins’. Food is essential for life and is also one of life’s great pleasures. So why does it cause so much distress to so many people?
Our culture and the media serves us all with a daily dish of how we should look and what we should eat. Our emotions become linked to our body shape. Whether we have a ‘good day’ or a ‘bad day’ is determined by what the scales say that morning. On the one hand we comfort eat and on the other we diet. This causes us to lose contact with the very mechanisms that our bodies use to regulate weight.
Hypnotherapy’s aim is to help refocus the body’s natural internal weight regulation mechanisms so that any excess weight just disappears naturally. It aims to provide you with tools to help you stop binging, insight on your reasons for eating, help to remove any psychological blocks to reducing your weight and encouragement to improve your lifestyle.
