Unlike a diet, hypnotherapy for weight loss will help motivate you to naturally eat healthier and get more physical activity. Here, I will describe some of the diet programs you may have heard of, the keys to real weight loss, and how you can achieve weight loss using hypnotherapy.
The high numbers of online searches for dieting tips and diet plans show just how many individuals want to lose weight. Some well-known weight loss programs are:
The Atkins diet, which is a popular low carbohydrate diet, is centered around the limited consumption of "refined carb" foods such as sugar and white bread. By limiting carbohydrate consumption, this diet plan is supposed to make the body switch from burning carbohydrates to burning fat for energy (a process called ketosis).
The Ornish diet is an extremely low fat, vegetarian diet, is an entirely vegetarian eating plan, and when observed diligently, a scant 10% of total calorie intake will be from fat. The Ornish diet also requires stress-management and exercise, and has been used successfully to help reverse heart disease in many individuals.
The Suddenly Slim diet program involves taking diet pills and meal replacement shakes in hopes of increasing the body's metabolism to use up more calories. The products contain many herbal ingredients typically found in diet pills. The Suddenly Slim program is supposed to function without increasing exercise or making other major lifestyle changes, although exercise and better eating habits will increase results.
The Zone diet balances fat, protein, and carbohydrate intake, with 30% of calories coming from fat, 40% from carbohydrates, and 30% from protein. Like the Atkins diet, this diet is often categorized as "low carb." The Zone diet pays close attention to calorie intake and physical exercise to deliver results.
The Cabbage soup diet is a component in several free online diet plans and is largely seen as a fad diet. It consists of eating only low calorie cabbage soup for seven consecutive days. Following this plan will typically lead to some weight loss, but when you resume regular eating habits, the weight will almost always come back. Furthermore, continuing this unbalanced diet for more than seven days may lead to inadequate nutrition and poor health.
There are hundreds of diet programs all promising fast results, but what many of these popular diets claim is not what they actually offer. They include meal plans that are irregular, unsustainable over a long-term period, or downright unhealthy. In truth, permanent weight loss is rarely achieved through a brief, one-time diet session.
Successful dieters will tell you that the keys to losing weight are not in fad diets or even diet plans, but in portion control, selecting nutritious and filling foods, and exercising regularly. This sounds quite simple enough, but it can be hard to stay motivated to maintain healthy habits and undo years of bad dietary habits.
We often lose our motivation to stay physically active and eat healthy. Hypnosis can be used to reverse our bad habits and lack of motivation. Hypnotherapy weight loss programs work by utilizing the power of your unconscious mind to motivate you to exercise and treat your body right.
Even the best free diet plans will fail if they aren't followed through. Research shows that most diets fail because dieters simply can't stick to them. After years of consuming oversized portions, many of us are driven to overeat and our appetites are out of control. This is where hypnotism for weight loss is especially effective. Hypnotherapy weight loss programs are excellent at helping to control food cravings and control the appetite.
For many people, another key to weight loss is stress management. Many of us overeat because of emotions. We eat food in response to our emotions, such as when we are sad or bored. This emotional attachment to food can make it all too easy to pack on pounds. We can use hypnotherapy to create better strategies for coping with stress and break the habit of associating food with our feelings.
It is easy to learn hypnosis by yourself with a good self-hypnosis program. There are weight loss hypnosis CDs specifically designed to promote weight loss through hypnosis. With simple techniques from hypnotherapy CD programs, you can quit struggling to lose weight and become naturally enabled to shed pounds.
