How does hypnosis help a person lose weight?
Concentration is a characteristic of hypnosis. It takes concentration to succeed at anything, including successfully losing weight. The 20 to 30 minutes a person spends in hypnosis concentrating on eating more fresh, wholesome foods and smaller meals carries over for the remainder of the day. Repetition of weight-loss suggestions can help replace old eating habits with healthier new ones. Interactive visualization and regression help identify the source of bad dietary habits and the steps necessary to alleviate them. Hypnosis can motivate people to exercise, which is usually a key component of any successful weight loss program.
