The Research Behind Hypnosis and Weight Loss
February 12th, 2008First, it is important to realize that though the mind, our thoughts and feelings, have a direct effect on the physical body, (years of medical research proves this as fact) when it comes to weight loss most of the results in losing weight are based on behaviors, which in turn effect the body. Hypnosis is the most, expedient, safe and natural approach to assist in changing behaviors to be healthy and more positive.
When looking at the emotions that cause the need to seek pleasure in behaviors that lead to problems, such as overeating, great strides are made toward relieving or removing the problem behaviors. In a meta-analysis, including hypnosis in weight loss programs across multiple studies, it showed that when adding hypnosis weight loss increased by an average of 97% during the program and increased the effectiveness of continued success by 146%. This indicates how when using hypnosis over time there is a continual increase of benefits and results. (Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1996).
