The word diet tends to make people groan! This means that increasing numbers of people are looking to find a safe effective and ethical way of losing excess weight and maintaining that weight loss. Hypnosis is a superb tool for assisting in weight loss.
Overeating is actually one of the most common addictions. It differs from other addictions such as smoking or drug use in that it is not possible to never go back to using the substance again. Hence, we can say I'll never smoke again or I'll never use cannabis. However we cannot say I'll never eat again - it's just not possible.
* Do not use the term diet
The simple fact is that diets do not work consistently; instead they tend to make money for those who formulate them. They are subject to fads and frequently are a short-term fix.
Take note - due to the rebellious nature of the conscious mind it is crucial that you never label what you are doing as a `diet`. The very nature of the word will in many cases cause the conscious mind to start to rebel.
At heart the conscious mind is a creature of habit and does not like change. Hence, if you introduce the concept of a `diet` then change will be anticipated and resisted. It will denote a change in eating habits - a forceful adaption of your current eating regime before you will notice positive change.
* Challenge yourself instead.
Try substituting the word `diet` with its negative connotations of hard work and sacrifice with challenge. This implies a path of lesser resistance particularly if you term it an `exciting challenge`
Make it more of a game, a voyage of discovery. Establish what are your main food culprits e.g. fries, Ice Cream, chocolate etc - those foods that keep you from your ideal weight. Choose at least the top three.
Once you have arrived at the top three culprits, then take one item on your list say Ice Cream and challenge yourself not to eat any for a week. Experiment - if a week proves to be too much, then aim to significantly reduce the amount of servings that you consume.
After the first week, then rinse and repeat the formula - challenge yourself with a different culprit for another week.
Use your imagination and visualise yourself ignoring or at least reducing your consumption. Use positive self-talk as a form of self-hypnosis.
Continue to do this for at least three weeks with other items on your list. You may find yourself experiencing reduced cravings in general as the habitual response to elimination and reduction kicks in.
Since this is only a one-week challenge, and you know that you are able to have that items afterwards, the rebellion will be very little and your weight loss will be dramatically enhanced.
* Reinforce with Self Hypnosis Or Weight Loss Hypnosis Script
You can reinforce the above process by utilising periods of self-hypnosis or the use of a weight loss script. There are many excellent audio and visual weight loss scripts available commercially, and you would be well advised to use one in conjunction with the above methods.
Above all, make it an exciting rewarding process and one in which you shape results. Diets are boring - challenges are fun!
