Weight Management
However, both diet-only and diet-plus-exercise programmes need to be used with caution, because both are still associated with future weight RE-GAIN.

HOW DO YOU LOSE WEIGHT?
If youíve been trying for long time to get rid off those unwanted kilos then probably only you are the best person to answer this question! Do any of these sound familiar?
​
From Monday I will start running regularly! Gym Membership - used only in the first month of signing in. Personal Trainer - fantastic results which go the minute the trainerís gone. Miracle Diets - lose a stone and then gain three. Diet Plans and Sheets ñ almost impossible to stick to. Weight Loss Programs, Group Work, Medication, Cosmetic or Corrective Surgeries.
​Would a combination of diet and exercise bring more success? Yes, undoubtedly, but once again only in the short term. Results from a scientific review by Wu, Gao, Chen, and van Dam (2008) showed that a combined diet-plus-exercise solution provided greater long-term weight loss than a diet-only programme.
WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT MY WEIGHT?
Lose weight with hypnotherapy! You may laugh at first, as most of our clients did! How can you lose weight without strict diets and heavy exercise? Well, the secret to our hypnotherapy solution is that we are focusing on why a person overeats or eats unhealthy, which is the primary reason why we gain weight. While dieting can change your food type intake, the deeper psychological cause needs to be identified and addressed to change your overall eating habits. Once you deal with the core of your problem, you will LOSE WEIGHT GRADUALLY AND PERMANENTLY.
​
Until the 1960s, it was widely assumed that physiological, internal signals were the primary regulators of food intake. We eat when we are hungry and we stop eating when we are full. More recently, however, researchers have identified a number of non-physiological, external factors that influence individualsí food intake. These include cultural factors, social influences, environmental stimuli and the influences of the food industry and the ìtoxicî food environment. A study by Vartanian, Herman and Wansik in 2008 suggests that we may not consciously be aware of these external factors.
WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE HYPNOTHERAPY?
Because external factors influence our emotions, we have developed many habits and attitudes that result in ignoring our internal cues (hunger) and this in turn ends in us overeating or developing other unhealthy eating habits. Now it becomes clear that no dieting or exercising will change our habit, as none of those methods really understands what made you create that habit in the first place. The very good news is that all of this information can be found stored carefully in your subconscious mind holds on to all of our living experiences. In therapy, when we put you in gentle hypnosis, your conscious mind just takes a rest.
This creates the perfect environment to gain access to your subconscious, which has all of the information as to why you have developed an eating problem in the first place. Our main focus is usually on unwanted habits and undesirable feelings. Through the therapy we assist you in finding meaningful alternatives to the present unsatisfactory ways of thinking, feeling or behaving that cause you the weight problem.
​
We use specific, advanced and structured hypnotherapy to firstly find the reason why are you overweight, and secondly, find alternative, satisfactory ways for you to deal with the problem. The therapy takes on average 5 sessions, which are spread across 4 weeks.
Different clients respond differently to therapy, but typically there is a visible weight loss after the third session. The weight losses continue after the therapy ends, as you begin to develop healthier habits and attitudes. As we all differ from each other, so can the results differ from person to person. Our clients lose on average between 1 to 4 stone (14 to 52 pounds; 6 to 24 kilos!!!) and are able to sustain their new, desired weight.
