Does Hypnosis really work for weight loss?

Published by on December 29, 2010

Having a lot of trouble losing weight – not able to stick with anything, have developed many bad habits. wondering if anyone has any personal experience with hypnosis for weight loss. Or is it all just a waste of money?

Hypnosis does work, but not in the way that people commonly believe. A hypnosis recording that simply repeats over and over that ‘you will not eat… you will only eat healthy foods’ is not going to help anyone.
What a good hypnotist will do is to use hypnosis to find out why you eat, what psychological reason is behind the eating behaviour. Hypnosis allows the person to uncover and then remove the real reason they are over eating. Problem eating is always about issues of control or love.

I am a professional hypnotherapist and I deal with problem eaters every week. Everyone has a different reason for their behavior. For example a client last week was found to be eating because that was how she rebelled against her pushy parents who told her to eat ‘properly’. Another discovered a remark made years ago from her dad to her sister ‘I love Clara because she always eats her dinner. Why can’t you’? That remark stuck in her head and she learned to associate eating with getting dad’s love.

So yes, hypnosis can help with weight loss, but it is never a simple case of listening to some hypnotic instructions.

    Its a complete waste of money. No one can help You lose weight except for YOU. It takes motivation and dedication. You need to know the facts before being motivated to lose weight. Lose weight not because you want to be skinny but to be HEALTHY. Did you know that losing just ten pounds can add about 5-6 extra years to your life as well as decrease the chances of developing heart disease, stroke,cancer, and diabetes? Just one change,like cutting out junk food, can make such a huge difference. Stay motivated, and think of how its all going to be worth it in the end. And make this a lifestyle choice, not a "diet." Good Luck hun =)

    Hyponosis isn’t really what you think it is. It is merely persuasion, not as much forcing or making someone do something. If you’re not going to do it [exercise] while you are conscious with your owe free will, you probably aren’t going to exercise under hypnosis.

    I am aware of one hypnosis tape that would permanently cure these problems in just a few playings. But to use these types of recordings you need to be experienced at self-hypnosis.

  5. Melody Said,

    I haven’t personally used it for weight loss/appetite control, but I do use it for other medical purposes, namely my movement disorder, which has had modest improvement. Astonishingly, though, it cured my warts, which I’d had for three years…which were quite embarrassing.

    My mom uses it for weight loss, in addition to a rather strict diet, but she says that after suggesting to herself in trance that she’ll be less hungry and feel less compelled to eat too much, she said it was easier to eat less/eat what she was supposed to rather than junk food.

    Hypnosis can help you lose weight only if combined with a healthy diet and fitness program. Hypnosis does not reprogram the mind; it can only help you stick to your weight loss program if you really want this.
