Lose Weight With Hypnosis: Does It Actually Work Or Is It Just Hot Air?

9

Controlling your weight and avoiding weight gain as you get older are important ways to prevent a host of weight-related health problems.

Indeed, if you are more than 20 pounds over your ideal weight, you are at greater risk for a rogues’ gallery of potentially deadly conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, endometrial cancer, obstructive sleep apnea, and breast cancer.

What’s more, most people who are overweight tend to avoid exercise, and that avoidance just adds to the toll paid for extra pounds.

If you have a sedentary lifestyle and are overweight, you are at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and other health problems. And, if you already have a medical condition such as high cholesterol, being overweight puts you at higher risk for complications.

The good news is that even modest amounts of weight loss can improve your health significantly. Loss of 10% of body weight can reduce blood pressure, high cholesterol, triglyceride, and high blood sugar levels.

Today, there are many procedures that can contribute and help people loss weight effectively. One of the known procedure in losing weight is through hypnosis.

However, many misconceptions have come up with regards to the application of hypnosis in losing eight. And because it does not involve drugs or any kinds of medications and surgery, many people tend to think that losing weight through hypnosis seems to be one of the safest weight loss program.

To know more about hypnosis and its effects on losing weight, here is a list of some facts that will give you an insight about what it can do to your body weight.

1. Hypnosis can be an imminently risky if not done properly and not utilize by people who are highly trained with the real concept of hypnosis.

Even if many people tend to think that hypnosis will not pose imminent danger to their health, still, it is important to know that the person who will do the procedure is skilled enough and that he or she knows what factors to consider before doing the procedures.

2. Hypnosis alone cannot eliminate excess fat from the body and, therefore, make somebody lose weight.

Most health experts contend that hypnosis should only be a part of a whole assimilated process. It should never be used as the sole weight loss procedure.

Moreover, one session of hypnosis will only have very minimal results on an individual’s weight. When losing weight, hypnosis matched with psychotherapy will be more effective than hypnosis alone. This is because hypnosis is only a state of deeply relaxing the mind, in which one can still be in control of his or her own body.

3. Hypnosis is one way of getting into the subliminal state of a person. When a person is on the “hypnotic stage,” the body is more responsive to suggestibility because of its intensified state of concentration.

However, this does not necessarily mean that through hypnosis, one can already “reprogram” the mind of an individual.

In reality, hypnosis can only run the range from trouble-free relaxation condition to proper initiation managed by a professional hypnotists. Hence, it should not be considered paranormal and magical in its upshots.

Boiled down, people should be more aware that hypnosis is not a sole effective process in losing weight. It is more of a facilitator of various treatment techniques.

Therefore, it should be combined with other weight loss management program to be effective in making people lose excess weight. In this manner, people will be able to lose more weight with a more relaxed and refreshed state of mind.

As they say, a healthy mind is a healthy body.

    Great blog post! I think most people have a misconception about how you can lose weight with hypnosis. I think most people assume that you are going to be konked out and magically wake up thin. But as you so well explained in your blog, hypnosis doesn't work like magic, it works to help reprogram behaviors. When we take control of our behaviors and live at cause (instead of at effect), then we gain the power to transform our lives. Once again, great post!

    I was recently diagnosed with moderate to high blood pressure(140/85) and after much research I decided to try a natural remedy as i was very wary about prescription drugs to control blood pressure and their potential side effects. After research on the internet i found out about LEVODYN and the positive reviews it has so i decided to try it and it was amazing after only a few weeks to a month my blood pressure started to fall. Now my blood pressure is currently on average 125/75.

    One of the commonest diseases to affect the heart is coronary heart disease (CHD). It's usually caused by atherosclerosis, a build up of fatty materials within the walls of the arteries. If a coronary artery becomes completely blocked, it can cause a heart attack. The medical term for a heart attack is myocardial infarction.

    The following symptoms are by no means always owing to CHD, and could be harmless or caused by other medical conditions. However, if you experience any of them it's a good idea to make an appointment to see your doctor:
    - Unusual breathlessness when doing light activity or at rest, or breathlessness that comes on suddenly.
    - Palpitations – awareness of your heart beat or a feeling of having a rapid and unusually forceful heart beat, especially if they last for several hours or recur over several days and/or cause chest pain, breathlessness or dizziness.
    - Fainting – although not always a serious symptom, fainting is due to insufficient oxygen reaching the brain, so you should report it to your doctor.
    - Fluid retention or puffiness (the medical term is oedema) is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the tissues of the ankles, legs, lungs or abdomen, for example. Although a mild degree of ankle oedema may be quite normal – for example, on a hot day – it can be a sign that the heart isn’t pumping as well as it should (this is known as heart failure). Fluid retention in the lungs, or pulmonary oedema, can cause intense shortness of breath, and may be life-threatening.
    - Bluish-tinged fingernails or lips (known medically as cyanosis) can be the result of too little oxygen in the blood.
    - Fatigue is a common symptom of heart disease, but has numerous causes, including depression. It's always worth seeing your doctor if you feel unusually tired, especially if this is combined with symptoms that can’t be explained.

    Hope I Helped! XD

    Diabetes kills most people who get it. Controlling blood sugar is extremely difficult and it is extremely easy to accidentally overdose on insulin- in fact, that's the most common overdose that results in hospitalizations. The effects of high blood sugar are cumulative and the average age at death for juvenile diabetics is 40 in the US. There are dozens of types of insulin as well as many oral diabetes drugs; the drugs for diabetes complications number in the hundreds. Just FYI.

    A couple things…The peanut butter thing has not been conclusive and only suggested when parents have a history of allergies. If you and your husband do not, there's been no advice not to eat peanut butter.25-35 is the recommended weight gain for a normal weight woman. 30 would put you solidly within that range, not over. I wouldn't worry about it. Also, the last few weeks of pregnancy, most weight gain stops (except maybe water weight gain that will be gone shortly after delivery)

    the article “chubby? you probably don’t know it!”, I believe was extremely relevant. With the risk of cardiovascular disease runing in my family, I believe that it is extremely important to maintain normal body weight. However, I am friends with people who, as the article explains, do not even realize they are overweight. I think that we should do more to increase awareness of our body weight and how most misperceive it.
