3 Ways Hypnotherapy Can Help You to Lose Weight



A ton of habits, including unhealthy eating patterns and binge eating, can sometimes start 
as conscious acts that, after a while, become embedded in the unconscious mind through 
repetition. Once a process becomes unconscious, you sometimes find yourself going through 
the process without realizing that you're doing it.

For instance, when you learn how to drive, it’s very much a conscious process of using gears, 
braking, steering, using mirrors, and a lot more. Once you’ve had a few years’ driving 
experience, you do most of it unconsciously. The same applies to unconscious eating. 
 Hypnotherapy Adelaide professionals state that this can be extremely damaging.

Why Can Unconscious Eating Be Extremely Damaging?

As mentioned above, unconscious eating can do a lot of harm; for instance, you could finish 
a whole package of biscuits or a large chocolate bar without realizing that you’re already 
eating.

Fortunately, this cycle of 'trance-like' eating can be broken with the use of hypnotherapy, 
which focuses more on making someone be very consciously aware of unhealthy eating habits.

By being consciously aware each and every time you reach for food, you can take a step back
and elicit a state of power and control instead. This way, you can stop yourself form 
consuming food that is bad for you, and concentrate more on eating healthy, and losing 
weight instead.

The Many Techniques Used In Hypnotherapy Which Promote Healthy Weight Loss

Here are some of the most common methods used in hypnotherapy:

Positive Visualization

Positive visualization is used by the hypnotherapist to help the client know their target weight.
 It's great to get a sense of yourself at some point in the future when it comes to your target 
weight.

Mental Rehearsals

Mental rehearsal puts you in situations where unhealthy eating triggers are present. 
Then you can start imagining yourself taking a step back from the food cupboard and 
having a glass of water or a piece of fruit instead.

Eating Smaller Portions

Focusing more on eating smaller portions and on taking time with every bite is always 
recommended. With the help of hypnosis, you start imagining yourself enjoying every bite of 
your food and eating slowly so you’ll start feeling full even after eating less.

These are just some of the methods hypnotherapy for weight loss practitioners use 
in order to help you lose weight and to help develop a positive healthy relationship with food.
