Hypnosis is a state of mind in which there is an extreme concentration of attention. It opens the mind to what are called suggestions - ideas that may be planted directly into the thinking of an individual. When you achieve the hypnotic state of mind in a planned and controlled manner, you can give suggestions of great benefit. These suggestions can pertain to any outcome you desire and will set your mind in that direction.
Hypnosis was considered as an effective technique for weight loss in history. Weight loss hypnosis is one that deals with the behaviors associated with weight gain, such as over-eating, eating high calorie foods, binge eating, etc. Suggestions about changing these habits can be helpful in weight loss.
Self-Hypnosis is the Right Cure
It is a fact that people act out behaviors like over-eating or binge eating as a direct result of what they think. Self hypnosis is an effective way of changing those thoughts that are formed during the course of your life and difficult to alter using your ordinary conscious mind alone. In self-hypnosis you reach a different state of your mind, which more readily accepts changes that you suggest. It helps to form new ideas about what your life presents. It can help you team new healthier eating patterns for weight control and retain them. But know the fact that self-hypnosis cannot force you accept anything you truly do not want.
Hypnosis Plus Behavioral Weight Management Program - a better solution
A number of research studies indicate that hypnosis combined with a behavioral weight management program can effectively work for weight loss. It is found that addition of hypnosis to a behavioral program designed to alter eating patterns increases the amount of weight loss. This combination is found to be more effective for small amounts of weight loss. Long-term individualized hypnosis combined with a behavioral weight management program can contribute to modest weight loss and helps maintain it.
How Hypnosis Aids Behavioral Weight Management Programs?
Hypnosis mainly helps increase participants’ attention to suggestions of behavioral programs as well as reinforce their weight loss. Studies using behavioral treatments successfully typically have developed incentive systems to bridge the gap between the short-term -reinforcers provided during treatment and long-term goal of weight reduction. Hypnosis can do this by acting as a better psychological reinforcer.
Hypnosis assists a person in learning positive eating behaviors and creating healthy long-term patterns of food intake. Subjects are then more likely to incorporate the rules of a particular program into their behavioral regimes. There are similarities between hypnosis and behavioral weight management treatments - both share an emphasis on visualization and imagination. Hypnosis is the right addition to behavioral weight management programs, which need supplementation to achieve long-term weight loss.
