Hypnosis and Weight Loss - How to Train Your Brain to Burn Fat Fast

One of the questions I get asked a lot is whether hypnosis and weight loss make for good bedfellows in the battle of the bulge. Hypnosis has been purported to work very successfully in a number of different habit breaking protocols, and has certainly been advertised as a good vehicle for dieters as well. But is it? Or just another disappointing strategy in a long list of failing approaches to burn the fat, fast? Read on as I share what I hope is a fresh perspective for you!

I have personally seen, (and used to some degree) hypnosis become a powerful ally in the hunt for a beautiful body, and have seen up close it's efficiency in SOME areas good eating habit help. There is a lot of positive data that supports the process that hypnosis aids in helping people break bad habits, but mainstream science is still very iffy on whether this is real, or a placebo effect. My take is this: If you are open minded, and are willing to BELIEVE that the power of hypnotic suggestion is real, and is going to lend you a helping hand in your weight loss journey, you are much more likely to see it work. Simply stated, and this is far beyond the scope of this simple article, there is beginning to be a plethora of pretty convincing anecdotal evidence that supports the notion that our response to things like hypnosis resides MORE strongly in our internal belief structure, rather than simply the treatment itself. Said differently, if you believe that hypnosis works, and subsequently undergo hypnosis as a mechanism to help you lose weight, you are FAR more likely to lose weight than a skeptic would be.

There are whole bodies of work popping up around this "biology of belief" idea that your inner inclination is the most important component to the success rate you will see when trying alternative (and maybe even non - alternative) therapeutic treatments of any kind.

So, my advice to you is this: As part and parcel of a GOOD dietary regimen, and in a supporting role, if you believe that a good hypnotist can implant in your "inner ear" a suggestive motivator to follow through on your diet, by all means, do it! But if you think that simply spending a few hours under the watch-eye of even the very best mental magician is going to melt off the 20 pounds you've gained since having your last child, well - you are going to be bitterly disappointed..:-)

You do need to pick a good diet as well! But, with that said, if you are a believer, like I am, in the absolute power of the mind, go for it. And make sure to share your success like the rest of us do, often! It keeps everyone motivated, losing weight and feeling great..:-)
