WEIGHT CONTROL

The majority of people who wish to lose weight do so by going on a diet, denying themselves some of the things they really like and trying to lose weight quickly.
The usual outcome is short-term success, giving in to eating one of the forbidden foods, disappointment at failure, and being really hungry, ‘pigging out’ and eventually putting the weight back on again. Then after a while they do it all over again.

Apart from not working, this approach is doomed to failure and has health problems attached to it – ‘yo-yo’ dieting has been shown to be bad for both the heart and the immune system. Furthermore, fast weight reduction sends a message to the body saying in effect, there’s a famine here, we need to preserve the body, and as a consequence the fat cells are retained by the body and weight reduction slows up dramatically.

Weight reduction has to be a marathon not a sprint. The real objective is to adapt to a long-term healthy lifestyle, eating a balance diet and incorporating a reasonable amount of exercise.

And hypnotherapy can help you attain this long term health lifestyle approach, which over time will produce the body shape you want - and even allow you a little of what you really like – like chocolate occasionally.
