So, why don't diets work?
Well you probably get all enthusiastic, go wholeheartedly into the new diet, lose some pounds; then after a few weeks, or a few months, the enthusiasm starts to slip, you've done really well, and you want to give yourself a treat or a day off, then that day happens once a week, twice a week, three times a week and the treat happens once a week, once a day, three times a day...
Those pounds sneak back on, the clothes slowly tighten up again, and you look in the mirror one morning and think I was doing so well...
?or no matter what you do, how closely you stick to the diet, nothing much happens. Others lose pounds, you lose ounces, or even gain them. Life is so unfair?
?or you spend the whole 'diet-time' thinking about food, thinking about what you can and can't eat, counting calories, or points, or syns. Until you get fed-up with the whole thing and give it up? ?for a while?
?and then, usually after Christmas, when you go try on the new summer outfits... it all starts all over again.
The problem, though, is not with what the diets commend you devour.

And before you know it - that weight is back.
The weight creeps back because the real reasons for weight accumulation are not being addressed.
Diet programs regard your weight as purely the product of what you put into your mouth and how much energy you expend. Lots of energy expenditure i.e. active life, low calorie intake equals weight loss. Sedentary lifestyle, high calorie intake equals weight gain. That's simple maths and it's perfectly true. You eat fewer calories than you expend and your body has to get those extra calories from somewhere. What you are told is that it gets them from the fat it has carefully stored away under your skin, for just such an emergency. But the truth is that it takes it from lean muscle tissue, because the body knows that lean muscle burns calories even when resting and the body is taxing tight-lipped in all directions convince more than perpetually band together than near motion in favour scream that abhor worthwhile be beneficial to food seems store to insist on out of doors wean away from remain panic-stricken out be useful to one's away from handy one's dispatching in the matter of sheer reconcile.
What is not explored is the subconscious food associations that we all carry.
If it was explored you would find associations with food and being good buried in the subconscious. When you were good as a young child, sweets, candy, cakes, ice cream, chocolate, biscuits, cookies, were the reward for that goodness. When you pleased your parents, this is frequently the treat that was given. But very soon that got twisted and you assumed that if you didn't get it, you had been bad. And so eating this sort of food gave your subconscious mind the message 'I am a good and/or loveable person'. The only reason your subconscious would need to be re-assured about that is if it didn't believe it already. But when you stop giving yourself these 'treats', then at a subconscious level, you feel you must have been bad and you are driven to eat something forbidden just to reassure yourself that you really are good.
Hypnosis, used for weight control, places the focus on changing you deep down inside. Or more accurately, correcting a view of you that is mistaken. Once corrected, then you can enjoy a healthy relationship with food.
You will eat differently and will eat less, but that is purely because hypnosis reconnects you with you, so you listen to your body and feed it when it's hungry. By reminding you of the truth about you, we release a power, or an energy, that starts to work with you rather than against you. When you work purely to a diet plan, without addressing underlying subconscious issues (and I've only touched on one here - there are many more) there are two of you. One wanting to be slim, and one needing the re-assurance of treats. And the one needing the re-assurance of treats will work to sabotage the diet plan - because their needs have been ignored.
A hypnotherapist works on improving how you feel about yourself, they also install post-hypnotic suggestions that will make it much easier for you to not only have no desire to eat the foods full of calories, but also assist you in achieving a pleasure in eating foods that are good for you that outweighs any pleasure you ever obtained from eating sugary sweet sickly foods.
This control is short term and just to break the habit element of eating. For in truth, you can eat anything you want and stay slim. The emphasis being on want. Hypnosis retrains your mind so that what you want is to nourish a body you care for - easily, effortlessly.
When you already feel good about yourself, you have no need to demonstrate that by eating foods that are bad for you. Wholesome, attractive, tasty, well-prepared food is what you deserve - always.
