Studies show Hyponosis and NLP to be effective tools to use for weight loss
Hypnosis: Weight Loss Studies
When it comes to weight loss associated with hypnosis, many people are skeptical to believe that hypnosis could actually render positive results in weight loss. The fact is, there is an abundance of weight loss studies that have time and time again proven that weight loss is achievable through hypnosis as well as other techniques such as Neuro Linguistic Programming and Guided Imagery.
Weight loss studies span through many sectors that pertain to hypnosis and weight loss. There are studies that have just the hypnosis factor as well as those weight loss studies that show hypnosis in conjunction with other therapies. The main conclusion of these studies is the weight loss hypnosis is indeed a helpful and success part of a weight loss strategy.
The first weight loss study was done in 1985 and published within the Journal of Clinical Psychology. It consisted of 109 people that were divided into two groups. One group was treated with a change to their diet as well as exercise regimen without hypnosis. The other group had the same treatment except they experienced hypnosis reinforcement as well.
Throughout the 9 weeks, under supervision, both groups did lose weight. The trial then did an 8 month and 2 year check up on the participants. They found out that the group that did not have hypnosis either did not lose any more weight than the initial weight loss or they gained some or all of the weight back.
Another study was done on hypnotherapy and weight loss in 1986 and was published by Journal Consulting and Clinical Psychology. A background was done on the 60 females that participated; 20% of which were overweight. They too were divided into the hypnosis and non-hypnosis groups.
The results after 6 months were astonishing. Those who underwent hypnosis lost an average of 17 pounds were the non-hypnosis only lost an average of half a pound.
A similar study was also conducted in 1996 which showed the enhancement that hypnosis can bring to weight loss. Again, they found a very significant difference in weight loss patterns between those with and without hypnosis. Also, they found the same conclusion as the study above; the participants that had hypnosis treatments not only kept the weight off but actually increased their weight loss.
There is a lot of buzz about utilizing home hypnosis tools such as Audio tools. Ndependence Hypnosis offers MP3’s as well as CD’s for those who are looking to try self hypnosis for weight loss. Using hypnotic MP3’s and CD’s are a very cost effective way to reap the benefits of weight loss hypnosis. You will be glad to find out that it is not as hard as you may think. In fact, many people fall into a self hypnosis daily. Such an occurrence is when you feel like you are automatically doing things or when you can tune everything else around you out. Ultimately, you are allowing your mind to relax producing a hypnotic effect.
Through weight loss studies we have seen how hypnosis can help someone not only lose weight but keep it off in the long run. Keeping weight off long term is often the part where people fall short on. This happens for many reasons but the main reason people fail to keep weight off is because they did not solve the root of the problem. Through weight loss hypnosis techniques you will be able to self hypnotize and lose weight in a healthy way. You will also reap the benefits of creating healthy eating habits, portion control and much more. The best part is, you will enjoy doing these things rather than forcing yourself to do something.
