How to Use Self Hypnosis for Weight Loss (and Keep it Off Effortlessly)

  • David & Steve Gordon

When it comes to weight loss, you already know there’s no magic bullet or quick fix to make it happen. And you can’t rely on willpower. It’s elusive – at best.

“You need more than willpower. Willpower matters, but you’ll also need other strategies to help you keep on track. By its very nature, willpower is something that comes and goes. And it can be gone when you need it most.”(Webmd, 5 Surprising Facts About Willpower by Joy Manning) 

It always picks the worst times to let you down. But have you ever considered self hypnosis for weight loss?

That’s right. What if you could use the power of your mind to change your attitude about your food choices and to form a healthy approach to exercise?

What if you were able to make your mind work for you instead of against you?

Is Self Hypnosis For Weight Loss The Magic Bullet?

As it happens, self hypnosis for weight loss might be as close to a magic bullet as you can get. And the good news is…there’s plenty of evidence that self hypnosis can work wonders toward helping you lose weight more.

Even better, self hypnosis for weight loss will also help you keep the weight off over the long haul. This quote from Harvard Medical School Psychotherapist Jean Fain helps illustrate this concept:

“Hypnotherapists believe you have everything you need to succeed. You don’t really need another crash diet or the latest appetite suppressant. Slimming is about trusting your innate abilities, as you do when you ride a bicycle. You may not remember how scary it was the first time you tried to bike, but you kept practicing until you could ride automatically, without thought or effort. Losing weight may seem similarly beyond you, but it’s just a matter of finding your balance.” (Jean Fain, Oprah Magazine, 2014, 10 Ways Hypnosis Can Help You Lose Weight – For Good.)

It’s a mind shift, an attitude adjustment, that allows you to make healthy lifestyle changes such that you don’t feel deprived. Even better – these changes will serve you over the long haul. No quick fixes here.

And willpower? Piece of cake. Or should I say piece of fruit? 🙂

The Astonishing Reason Self Hypnosis For Weight Loss Works

People have been struggling with weight loss since the dawn of humanity. Or at least once we stopped hunting and gathering for our food.

And, every new weight loss gimmick that comes along is touted as the next great thing, yet rarely delivers long-term results. Often, they don’t even achieve short-term results.

You’re left feeling like a failure, wondering what’s wrong with you, and drowning your sorrows in a bag of chips or binge eating an entire chocolate cake.

Ugh! Definitely not conducive to feeling empowered or in control. In fact – it’s a total downer.

But hypnosis, and particularly self hypnosis, can and does work toward healthy weight loss. It all comes down to retraining your mind so you can more achieve your desired goal — to lose weight, and keep it off, once and for all.

“We know from the research that hypnosis pairs well with other weight-loss and stress reduction strategies, such as mindfulness, relaxation training, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Some research has found that adding hypnosis to CBT further increases its effectiveness for weight loss. Hypnosis can help you understand unconscious barriers to weight loss and enhance your chances of success via a variety of types of positive suggestion.” (Traci Stein, Ph.D., Psychology Today, 2014, Successful Weight Loss Using Hypnosis.)

Use The Incredible Power Of Your Mind To Achieve Weight Loss

When you can harness the power of your mind, (on a subconscious level), as you do with self hypnosis, you increase the odds of success. And since weight loss is so hard for most of us to achieve… tapping into an incredible power source to reach your goals can be a game changer.

Unless you’re one of those blessed with an ability to eat anything you like and never gain a pound, the chances are high that you’ve struggled with losing weight over the course of your life.

If you’re like most people, you slipped off the wagon. It’s hard to be super disciplined over the long haul. And that’s where self hypnosis can help.

The Powerful Weight Loss/Self Image Connection

The way we look has huge effects on how we feel. Our self-image, whether we like to admit it or not, is tied closely to how we believe we look in the eyes of others. And being inundated with photoshopped images of the perfect body everywhere we look doesn’t help.

No one can live up to those tweaked images of p erfection that don’t exist in the real world. Not that that doesn’t stop you from feeling discouraged when you always seem to fall short of your ideal self-image.

Infinitely Better Reasons To Strive For Weight Loss

There are, in fact, much more important reasons for losing weight and keeping it off, such as:

Reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and other ailments

Increased energy

Higher self-image

Heightened self-confidence

Reduced levels of joint and body pain

Greater overall happiness

Better quality of sleep (sleep apnea, a potentially dangerous condition, is associated with excessive weight)

There are other excellent reasons to strive for healthy weight loss, but these represent the most common ones.

Breakthrough These Offensively Common Weight-Loss Barriers

And when it comes to barriers toward natural weight loss, I’m pretty sure you’re familiar with the most common of those as well:

Lack of willpower

Believing you’re too far gone

Feeling deprived of the foods you love

Increased stress

Poor quality of sleep

Loving, yet often misguided, best intentions of your friends and family (who hasn’t experienced a favorite aunt or best friend urging you to eat things you know you shouldn’t?)

With all the obstacles in your way, it’s a wonder you can ever manage to lose a pound, much less keep it off.

Weight Loss Help Through The Stunning Power Of Suggestion

Lest you think that self-hypnosis will, (on its own), provide weight loss help.  It’s important to remember that it’s the power of suggestion that is providing your weight loss transformation.

Hypnosis does not burn calories or create fat-free foods. If only, right? Rather, it targets the cause of your weight gain so that you gain the power to overcome its ill effects.

Consider this quote about weight loss and hypnosis from an article posted in MedIndia.

Hypnosis, as such, may not directly help you reduce weight as would weight loss diets or weight loss exercises. But it looks into and attempts to ‘cure’ the non-genetic cause of your weight gain, especially if it is related to psychological issues such as emotional eating, sleeplessness, stress, mood swings and depression. (Mita Majumdar, MedInda, 2014, Weight Loss With Hypnosis – Does It Work?)

How To Effortlessly Bring Self Hypnosis For Weight Loss Into Your Life

As we’ve discussed, self hypnosis is a reframing of your mind that removes much of the anxiety associated with losing weight. It helps make the process feel more natural and easier to manage. This point is illustrated in the passage from a post on Livestrong.com:

Another technique that is crucial for anyone wishing to lose weight is reframing. Just as we associate ourselves with our thoughts, we also believe the stories that we tell ourselves. Paying close attention to our words, we find that we are constantly saying things like, “This is just the way that I am.” The subconscious mind believes this and relegates itself to this reality. One of the fastest ways to change is to tell yourself a new story. Instead of ‘I am addicted to chocolate,’ try ‘In the past, I have been challenged by chocolate.’ There is a world of difference.” (Forrest Lamb, Livestrong.com, 2015, Does Hypnosis Really Work For Weight Loss?)

Healthy Weight Loss Made Easy

Losing weight, without spending tons of money, and keeping the weight off for good adds to your overall happiness and quality of life. Imagine enjoying exercising! Picture yourself making healthy food choices because you want to, not because you have to.

That’s the power of self hypnosis. Maybe it is a magic bullet, after all. It sure beats trendy and gimmicky weight loss products that make huge promises yet fail to deliver.

Finally, you’re in charge of your weight loss goals… like you’ve never been before. It’s time for your final weight loss transformation. Because once you learn to change your thoughts about weight loss through self hypnosis, being slim and healthy will come without effort.  Why not start today?
