Weight Loss
Posted under: The key to weight loss is simple: consume less calories than you burn off. Once you’ve reached your healthy weight goal, the secret to maintaining your weight is: don’t consume more/less calories than you burn off.
Simple! Right?!
Of course its not that simple, in practice. Busy lives, awkward shift patterns and ingrained behaviour are only a few of the reasons why we end up gaining weight.
Added to this may been factors in our past that might lead us to “comfort eat”, for example. We may even consume food as a way of coping or distracting us from issues in our lives.
My approach to weight loss is finding out what works for you in your life. Its no good me suggesting you run for 20 miles each morning and only eat leafs from the vegetable patch that you now must keep, if this doesn’t fit into your life!
Added to this is the fact that potentially you may have a disability which further impacts on the amount of calories you burn. As such, I have to be realistic and work with you to find a solution specific to you.
One thing we do know is that dieting doesn’t work, but healthy eating in moderation does. Everything in moderation … including moderation!
I don’t suggest a fitness regime or any specific diet. I understand that weight is a big problem that impacts on many areas of life and therefore I certainly don’t judge.
My aim will be to help you recognise when you body says it is full. I will also help you to really taste and appreciate food. (Its a fact that many over-eaters don’t actually really enjoy the taste of their food because food is serving a hidden purpose for them). Alongside this, I will equip you with strategies that work for you to dealing with feelings or hunger and cravings.
As the feelings of hunger and cravings are just perceptions in the brain, hypnosis can help alter or reduce these perceptions. As such the feeling of hunger will only occur when you truly are hungry and you body needs food. In regards to cravings, these can be effectively dealt with through hypnosis so they are imperceptible and ultimately disappear.
