Does Hypnosis Work to Help You Lose Weight

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION: I need to lose about fifty pounds. I've tried almost every type of
diet, but nothing has helped me lose the weight and keep it off. I have heard
about hypnosis that can help you shed pounds. Does it work?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANSWER: Hypnosis by itself will not make you lose, but it can help motivate
you to stay on your diet, and make you want to improve your eating and
behavioral habits. Many obese people go on eating binges, not because they
are hungry, but because of tension, anxiety or boredom. Hypnosis may be
useful for relaxation, therefore preventing such binges. The most important
support offered by sessions with a physician who uses this technique is to
help you become truly committed to losing weight. This commitment must be
renewed daily with a self-hypnotic technique which you can easily learn. By
combining hypnosis with a sensible, well balanced eating plan, you could
indeed be on your way to a new and slimmer you. Just remember, it is still
you that must make this all work!
