Unlike a diet, weight loss hypnotherapy will help motivate you to naturally eat healthier and get more exercise. Here, I will describe some of the diet programs you may have heard of, the keys to losing weight, and how you can achieve weight loss through hypnotherapy.
The high numbers of searches for dieting advice and online diet plans show just how many people are looking to lose weight. Some popular weight loss programs are:
The Atkins diet, which is a well-known low carbohydrate diet, is based around the limited consumption of "refined carb" foods such as white bread and sugar. By restricting carbohydrate consumption, this diet is supposed to help the body switch from burning carbohydrates to burning fat for energy (the state of ketosis).
The Ornish diet is a very low fat, vegetarian diet, is a completely vegetarian eating plan, and when observed diligently, a scant 10% of total calorie intake will come from fat. The Ornish diet also requires stress-management and exercise, and has been used successfully to help reverse heart disease in many people.
The Suddenly Slim diet program involves taking diet pills and meal replacement shakes with the goal of increasing the body's metabolism to burn more calories. The products contain many ingredients typically found in diet pills. The Suddenly Slim diet is supposed to work without increasing exercise or making other major lifestyle changes, although exercise and healthier eating will improve results.
The Zone diet balances protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake, with 30% of calories coming from fat, 40% from carbohydrates, and 30% from protein. Much like the Atkins diet, this diet is often considered to be "low carb." The Zone diet monitors calorie intake and physical fitness levels to produce results.
The Cabbage soup diet can be found in several diet plans and is largely considered to be a fad diet. It consists of eating only low calorie cabbage soup for seven consecutive days. Following this plan will usually lead to a few pounds of weight loss, but when you resume regular eating habits, the weight tends to come back. Additionally, continuing this unbalanced diet plan for more than one week may lead to inadequate nutrition and poor health.
There are hundreds if not thousands of diet programs all promising fast results, but what many of these popular diet plans claim is not what they really offer. They focus around meal plans that are unbalanced, unsustainable over a long-term period, or downright unhealthy. Realistically speaking, permanent weight loss is rarely achieved through a short, one-time diet session.
Successful dieters will tell you that the keys to weight loss are not in fad dieting or even free diet programs, but in portion control, selecting nutritious and filling foods, and exercising regularly. This sounds simple to do, but it can be difficult to stay motivated to keep healthy habits and undo years of bad dietary habits.
We often lose our motivation to stay physically active and eat healthy. Hypnosis can be used to reverse our negative habits and lack of motivation. Hypnotherapy weight loss programs work by tapping into the power of the unconscious mind to actually make you want to exercise and treat your body right.
Even the best weight loss plans fail if they are not followed through. Research shows that most diets fail because dieters just can't stick to them. After years of eating oversized portions, many of us compulsively overeat and our appetites are out of control. This is where hypnosis for weight loss can be especially effective. Hypnotherapy weight loss programs are highly effective in helping to control food cravings and control the appetite.
For many people, another component to weight loss is stress management. Many people eat for emotional reasons. We eat in response to our feelings, such as when we are sad or bored. This emotional attachment to food can make it all too easy to gain weight. We can use hypnotherapy to develop better strategies for managing our stress and stop associating food with our feelings.
It is easy to learn hypnosis by yourself with a good self-hypnosis program. There are weight loss self-hypnosis programs specifically designed to help you achieve your goal of permanently losing weight. With simple techniques from hypnotherapy CD programs, you can stop struggling to lose weight and become naturally enabled to shed pounds.
