Fast Weight Loss Success Secrets Using Hypnosis

By: Alan B. Densky, CH Research at Tufts-New England Medical Center has provided irrefutable evidence that all popular diets work when a person can stick to them. Atkins - low carb; The Zone - low glycemic index; Ornish - low fat; Weight Watchers - low calorie.

But medical research has provided convincing evidence that only a very small percentage of people can stick to any diet because of their appetite.

So to be successful with a diet,weight loss requires appetite suppression.

Webster's Dictionary defines "Appetite" as: "The desire for gratification of some want, craving, or passion." So "appetite" is eating and drinking for relaxation and pleasure.

Many people confuse hunger with appetite. Hunger is defined as "The body's call for nourishment." In other words, when the body needs energy, that's when you feel true on hunger. By that description, it is practically impossible for anyone to "be hungry" if they are overweight.

However, it is possible for you to have feelings that you interpret as "hunger." And the stomach contracting in expectation of being fed causes those feelings.

When you were an infant and you got restless, your mother would put a nipple into your mouth to calm you down. You would get distracted, become more peaceful, and often go to asleep. That sequence of events was repeated thousands of times so that your unconscious mind was programmed: When something goes into your mouth, you get relaxation and pleasure from it.

Now that you are an adult, if you feel anxious or tense, you crave something in your mouth for relaxation and pleasure - food!

People Also Get Cravings and Urges Because Of Conditioning.

When you pair eating with any other action, the other action will trigger cravings for food and a compulsion to eat. This is called a conditioned response. For example: If you eat when you watch a movie, you will automatically get an urge to eat each time you go to the movies.

What About Compulsive Overeaters Who Eat Because Of Emotional Reasons?

We define a compulsion as an "irresistible impulse." NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming has a presupposition: All behaviors are driven by a positive intention. In other words, our unconscious mind will only motivate us into behaviors that benefit or protect us in some way. So in NLP terms, being fat is a behavior when it provides a positive outcome for us.

You may be wondering what the possible positive outcomes of being fat could possibly be. The list of probabilities is as long as the list of people who have an appetite that is out of control. But I'll give you a classic example: A person gets their heart broken in a relationship. So to protect the self from getting the heart broken again, the unconscious motivates the self to gain a lot of weight to keep the self out of relationships and prevent another broken heart.

A big secret to eliminating your appetite and losing your weight is called reframing. With an NLP Reframe, we respect the fact that the mind is compelling us to eat for relaxation and pleasure. And if we are eating compulsively because being fat is protecting us, we respect that also.

In a Neuro-Linguistic Programming six-step reframe, we bargain with our unconscious mind. In the case of eating for relaxation and pleasure, we ask our unconscious to assume the responsibility for making us automatically substitute some new behaviors. The alternate behaviors must be as effective and available at providing the same relaxation and pleasure. But they must also be more acceptable to us on a conscious level. When the unconscious is motivating us into alternate behaviors that provide the relaxation and pleasure that we require - we lose our appetite on this score.

If you are an emotional eater, we do an additional reframe. We ask your unconscious to assume the responsibility for finding new behaviors in place of being fat. These new behaviors must be as effective and available at providing the same benefits and protections. But they must be behaviors that are more consciously acceptable to you. When your unconscious is motivating you into alternate behaviors that provide the same outcomes that you require, you lose the compulsion to overeat.

As far as feeling cravings because of conditioning (conditioned responses), we utilize various hypnotic and NLP techniques that erase or "extinguish" those conditioned responses. That breaks the connection between the behaviors, and obliterates the cravings and urges.

When your appetite has been eliminated, and any compulsion to overeat has been dealt with, you can easily stick to any diet that you chose on an indefinite basis so that it becomes a permanent lifestyle change.
