WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?

The induction of a state of consciousness in which a person apparently loses the power of voluntary action and is highly responsive to suggestion or direction. Hypnosis makes the person’s mind open to suggestion and behavioral change. People with habits like smoking, nail-biting, bed-wetting etc go for hypnotherapy.

HYPNOSIS AND WEIGHT LOSS

Researchers say that hypnotherapy is more effective than dieting and exercising for people who cannot do these easily. It has influenced a lot of people to change habits like overeating. Hypnosis alone cannot help you lose weight.

Practically, without eating the right food and exercising, no change in your body will occur. Hypnotherapy just gives you that motivation and pushes you to go ahead and start working. It is telling yourself how you want to be. Relying on hypnosis for weight loss alone is a bad idea. You can use it to motivate yourself to diet and exercise.
