Weight loss hypnotherapy is one of many methods available to conquer what is fast becoming one of the world’s largest problems.

Unlike fad diets, hyphotherapy seeks to make a person “think” like a person who has no weight problem.

A fit person will eat only when they are hungry and they will not eat for the sole purpose of pleasure. This is the aim of hypnosis - to teach the patient not to abuse their food and to use it as nature intended.

Hypnosis promises to solve a person’s problems by recalibrating their logic and thought processes that are associated with food.

Unfortunately, the success rate for hypnosis is not very high. It is not fully understood why this is so as hypnotherapy does work for other afflictions of the mind.

It is thought that overeating and weight loss are complex and could be caused by a number of factors including disease, genetics, marketing, peer pressure, poor nutrition and food additives and that hypnosis cannot always counteract these other influences.
