There are many different paths to weight loss. Some are successful and some are simply a colossal waste of time where you might end up gaining more weight than you’ve lost. If you are relying on diet pills or the latest fad diet to help you reach your ideal weight, you are wasting both your time and money!
I’m a huge advocate of a healthy lifestyle and I think those “lose-weight-fast” scams are only self-defeating exercises. The formula that works is really simple: you have to make smarter food choices AND you have to exercise.
Lately, I’ve been watching the new Dr. Oz Show (with Dr. Mehmet Oz, Oprah’s go-to medical expert), who tackles weight issues regularly. His counsel is always the same: diet and exercise. However, for some people, having what it takes to make better food choices on their own is the real challenge.
I don’t think that most people willingly eat themselves to death; it’s a combination of misinformation, information overload, emotional issues and giving up on themselves that keeps so many trapped in an overweight body.
If everyone were able to live on a weight-loss farm permanently or afford a nutritionist or personal trainer year-round, there would be no obesity crisis. But the truth is that most people have to battle their bulging weight alone.
What prevents the majority of people from reaching their weight-loss goals is not which diet plan they choose, but their inability to stick to it.
I’ve heard about hypnosis as an affordable way for regular people to deal with the challenges of weight loss and thought I’d look into it a bit more (in fact, only this morning I saw a segment on the rising popularity of hypnosis in France to aid in weight loss and quitting smoking).

I’ve featured the results a former participant on The Biggest Loser achieved with hypnosis after he regained a lot of the weight after leaving the show (a former The Biggest Loser participant said 90 per cent gain back some of the weight they lost after the show ended).

I decided to take my readers through the experience of hypnosis as a way to support weight loss goal by experiencing the process myself!
>>>> What is hypnosis anyways?
* Hypnosis was approved in the late 1950s as a useful tool by the American Medical Association and British Medical Association. It was endorsed for clinical use by licensed health practitioners only.
* Hypnosis is the original mind and body medicine.
* A hypnosis therapist will use words to help you go into a suggestive state, like a trance.
* Contrary to what you see in the movies, you are more awake than asleep!
* Have you ever driven from your office to your home without being fully alert? Because your mind was focused on something else, your driving became automatic. Hypnosis works on the same principles.
* When you focus with a lot of intensity, it’s like you are hypnotising yourself.
* In the Enjoying Weight Loss hypnosis program, Dr. Roberta Temes suggests some “habits” that will instil change in your life, such as “you will crave vegetables or “you will have no interest in junk food”.
* The stronger your mind, the easier it will be to accomplish your weight goals … so if you think you are too strong-minded (or stubborn) to let hypnosis work for you, you may be surprised by the results.
* Throughout the hypnosis experience you are in total control. You can speak, you can open your eyes, you can talk, you can hear, you can move and you can leave any state of hypnosis simply by opening your eyes.
* You can never stay in a permanent state of hypnosis – it’s not possible. You control when you get out of it.
* There is no such thing as a controlling hypnotist and a vulnerable patient, like you’ve seen in the movies. You can get out of any hypnosis state just by opening your eyes (it’s that easy!).
* You will feel really good after a hypnosis session … just like you would after a good massage (so rested and relaxed that nothing else matters!).
* Most people who try hypnosis love it and often regret not having been open-minded enough to try it sooner in their lives.

This is the tool that gave me back my life and my desire to be the best I can be!

Weight Watchers Lifetime MemberI have been listening Dr. Roberta Temes’ CD’s for the last three months and am very impressed- I absolutely love listening to them. It’s one of my favorite parts of my day when I can come home from work, drop everything, and completely relax with my favorite track. The last couple are super short too, so no excuse for not ”fitting it in” to my busy day! It’s difficult to choose what my favorite aspect of the program is, but I really appreciate the emphasis on positive affirmations and guided imagery. Seeing things the way you want them to be has a subtle and underappreciated, yet nonetheless very formative power.
Just after my initial completion of the program in accordance to the instructions, I went home on Christmas vacation. Normally this time of year degenerates into a binge on sugary foods that leaves me feeling guilty and gross afterward. But not this year- I had the ”Avoiding Temptation” track on my ipod and I listened to it twice per day for good measure while home. I indulged to be sure, but this time lacked that out-of-control feeling that often characterizes ”cheating” on your diet. I felt like I was making the consious decision to eat (and enjoy) that cookie or slice of fruit cake at the party. What a blessing.

Tampa, FL“I am now down 20 pounds and still have not had any problems with stress eating (my lifetime habit is to overeat). I am also walking close to 5,000 steps per day now (a little over 2.5 miles) and into a size 16 from a 20/22 and people are finally beginning to notice. I personally thank you for your program even though I don’t understand how it works. I am starting to like who I see in the mirror.” — Syndi Ellison, Advertising & Finance Manager, Washington State Magazine
“My mom sent me your Enjoying Weight Loss CDs as a not-so-subtle hint. I was about 40 pounds overweight and had tried hypnosis for weight loss before with no results, so I was not optimistic. I have never been able to follow a diet for over three weeks, so I decided that this time I would use your CDs in combination with The South Beach Diet and see what happened. It has now been a little over two months and I have lost 25 pounds! The best part is that following the diet has been easy this time — it is almost like I can’t NOT follow it.” — Kevin Goodrich, Miami, FL
“Several weeks ago I wrote a letter about how effective Dr. Roberta Temes’ CD program had been in helping me lose weight and maintain an exercise program. I wrote that not only did I want to lose 15 pounds, but I also needed to find a way to adhere to a rather strict hypoallergenic diet without feeling deprived.
I’ve reached my goal weight and haven’t been seriously tempted to eat any of the foods off limits to me. Not only do I continue to exercise, but I look forward to it every day. In the past, if I was exercising on a regular basis and the exercise was interrupted, I would never resume. Recently I had to stop because of the flu, and I was actually anxious to start exercising again — something I never thought could happen.
The most wonderful change has been the difference in my approach to maintenance. Previously, once I lost weight I used that as an excuse to resume eating all I wanted. Now I don’t even want to eat that way and planning each day’s menu has become an interesting part of my routine. I don’t deny myself my “guilty pleasures,” but instead plan for them as a part of what I eat. A piece of candy or a small dish of ice cream after supper has become completely satisfying — again, something I never thought could happen.” — Deena Parker, Columbia, MO
“Enjoying Weight Loss has a lot to offer: a warm, fun hypnotist offering sound dietary advice and a variety of trances for a range of issues, from choosing a food plan to avoiding temptation.” – SHAPE Magazine, as reviewed by Jean Fain, Harvard Medical School.

>>>> How does the hypnotherapy program for weight loss works?
Enjoying Weight Loss consists of a set of four CDs. Each session lasts around 15 to 20 minutes.
Enjoying Weight Loss CD 1:
=> Introduction to Hypnosis
Enjoying Weight Loss CD 2:
=> Weight Loss Essentials
=> Selecting Your Food Program
=> Eating Smart (this is music to my ears!)
Enjoying Weight Loss CD 3:
=> Avoiding Temptation
=> Exercising Regularly
Enjoying Weight Loss CD 4:
=> Appreciating Yourself
=> Maintaining Your Weight Loss
You cannot realistically expect to change a lifetime of bad eating habits in one or two sessions. But, as you listen to the CDs on a daily basis, you will begin to want to eat in a healthy way. You’ll notice your old habits will fade away as they are replaced by new ones. It doesn’t mean you won’t eat any of your favourite cheat foods for the rest of your life, but your mind will more likely gravitate towards healthier foods 90 per cent of the time.
After listening to all the sessions a few times, you can choose the ones you find most helpful or that you want to work on the most. I have a feeling a lot of people will spend some time listening to the “Avoiding Temptation” session because it’s such a weakness for so many.
As you can see, this is quite a flexible program because you can listen to particular sessions for particular needs. It becomes very practical at different times of the year when you have to be surrounded by your favourite temptation foods — think of summer picnics, BBQs or holiday feasts or high stress periods. Those are usually the times in your life where you throw caution to the wind, eat unconsciously and end up regretting it.
>>>> What can I expect within the first 3 weeks?
After the initial 3-week period, you’ll notice subtle changes to your daily routine. The changes are going to be small, so don’t expect the earth to move and the seas to part. Here are some of the subtle changes I’m talking about:
* Perhaps you are drinking more water, and snacking less.
* Maybe you notice yourself eating (and enjoying) more vegetables.
* Maybe you are starting to become satisfied with smaller portion sizes.
You’ll also notice that going into hypnosis becomes easier and easier as you learn to allow the sessions to work for you.
>>>> How can you get more information to help you achieve a healthier weight?

>>>> Are you a smoker dealing with weight loss issues?
There’s no way to sugar-coat it: If you are overweight and smoke, you are in a very bad place. Being overweight brings on a long list of ailments and if you combine that with the negative effects of smoking, you are absolutely not at your optimal health.
Hypnosis can also help you deal with your addiction and quit smoking for good.
Dr. Randy Gilchrist, a clinical psychologist at the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, has developed a hypnosis program to help you quit smoking and get back to better health.
The Non-Smoker’s Edge has been designed and developed to help you kick the nicotine habit and quit smoking for good without any weight gain!

“Since your hypnosis, I am not only staying away from smoking, but I also stopped eating the junk food I used to eat. There were no fireworks. I am simply a new person – how I’ve wanted to be for a long time. This is wonderful!” – Kim Johnson, Sacramento, CA
“I have now been a non-smoker for one year and four months. To this day I have no desire to smoke. Here I am at age 50, training to run my first 5K. Try that with a cigarette in your mouth! Thank you for helping make this easy.” — Jules Hardin, Cedar Rapids, IA
If you’ve tried everything to quit smoking but are still spending thousands each year on your nicotine addiction, then you have nothing to lose (but that unhealthy habit!) by trying this hypnosis program to help you quit smoking!
