I haven't used it for weight loss but a friend used it to overcome fear of flying and it worked.
As for weight loss; the only thing that has worked for me is the 50% diet.
I try to avoid all but wholemeal cereals/bread etc but other than that I eat whatever I would normally eat. EXCEPT; only half as much.
For cooked meals I use a tea plate instead of a dinner plate (took a while to persuade my OH that the idea is that you put less out rather than piling the same amount onto the smaller plate).
It worked for me and I don't ever feel guilty because nothing is banned.

it certainly can put you off certain foods eg. choccies, but portion control/education will have to come in too!
paul mckenna has a great book and cd! x

There is a technique called a hypnoband where they insert a gastric band under a hypnotic trance. The success depends on how suggestible you are and the quality of the hypnotherapists. They should also discuss portion size and exercise.

I bought a weight loss/hypnotherapy cd recently, and it probably doesn't work as every time I've put it on, I fall asleep! which is good in a way, because I usually have real trouble sleeping, but not conducive to weight loss.
|
|
Did you get the right cd?
|
|
Years ago I had a weight loss tape that you were supposed to listen to in bed,but I had to stop doing it because every morning I used to wake up starving hungry and I dont normally eat in the morning.
|
|
Yes I did, Gavmacp, it's the stqrt of the CD, at the beginning, where you are being relaxed!
|
|
"start"
|
|
My SIL tried the Paul McKenna book and tape, but she is looking out over her chins again 3 years down the line.
|
|
Maybe she needs to read it again ?
|
|
She chucked the book when she thought she'd cracked it OG. I have the tape.....somewhere but no cassette player to play it now.
|
|
Had a thought maybe it was a CD. I'll have to look for that.
|
|
They do cd's to help improve your memory but I forget what it is called!
|
|
NO
|
|
hypnoband worked for a while...still find I seem better able to control the quantity I eat but I still don't think it was worth the money
|
|
I meant yes I have and no it did not
|
|
The virtual gastric band didn't work for me.

re madmaggot's comment - but a friend used it to overcome fear of flying and it worked.
Have a friend and she had the fear problem and hypnotherapy.
They coached her onto the plane at Luton, flying to somewhere in Spain.
The plane didn't even make take-off. Some incident, plane screeched to a halt, slid of the runway, emergency chutes out and a quick escape.
Her only time on a plane.............

oh no DT, that's terrible.
|
|
