PERMANENT
WEIGHT
LOSS
with HYPNOSIS
Radio Talk Show Clips:
Most people eat for
comfort or to relieve stress and those habits become a
life-long problem. |
|
The American Hypnosis clinic
therapists work with you one-on-one and can help you solve that
problem - once and for all.
Our therapists learn what unique
triggers effect your personal eating habits and use techniques of neuro-linguistic programming, EFT, regression and other hypnotic
techniques to develop a customized program for you. Through
hypnosis you will learn to look at food differently and change you
habits permanently.
It's very easy and
often takes little or no willpower.
It's also proven to work better than
anything else you can try (read the research below).
And, unlike the
diet roller-coaster, you will see and enjoy lasting effects in just
a few short sessions.
The difference between permanent weight loss and temporary gains and
losses is purely psychological. 95 % of people on ANY diet end up
gaining the weight back AND THEN SOME!
But with hypnosis you learn how
to think differently. You learn how to identify and then separate
emotions from your eating habits and so your gains aren't dependent
on the form of mental "adrenaline" we call willpower. Your gains
are the result of real and permanent changes in your outlook and so
they are for real and forever.

Hypnosis Over 30 Times as Effective
for Weight Loss

females, at least 20% overweight. Treatment included group
hypnosis with metaphors for ego- strengthening, decision
making and motivation, ideomotor exploration in individual
hypnosis, and group hypnosis with maintenance suggestions.
Hypnosis was more effective than a control group 17lbs vs.
0.5 lbs on follow-up. |

2 Years Later Hypnosis Subjects
Continued To Lose Significant Weight
109 people completed a behavioral treatment for weight management
either with or without the addition of hypnosis. At the end
of the 9-week program, both interventions resulted in
significant weight reduction. At 8-month and 2-year
follow-ups, the hypnosis subjects were found to have
continued to lose significant weight, while those in the
behavioral-treatment-only group showed little further
change.

Hypnosis Subjects
Lost More Weight Than 90% of Others and Kept it Off
Researchers analyzed 18
studies comparing a cognitive behavioral therapy, such as
relaxation training, guided imagery, self monitoring or goal
setting with the same therapy supplemented by hypnosis.
Those who received the
hypnosis lost more weight than 90 percent of the non
hypnosis, and maintained the weight loss two years after
treatment ended.

Hypnosis
Showed Significantly Lower Post-Treatment Weights
Two
studies compared overweight smoking and non-smoking adult
women in an hypnosis-based, weight-loss program. Both
achieved significant weight losses and decreases in Body
Mass Index. Follow-up study replicated significant weight
losses and declines in Body Mass Index. The overt aversion
and hypnosis program yielded significantly lower
post-treatment weights and a greater average number of
pounds lost.
