Self Hypnosis & Diet Techniques
Amping up your imagination allows you to see a positive future. But to use it effectively, there needs to be a path from where you are right now to what you want in the future. Imagination is visualizing in pictures. You place yourself in the picture and in the feeling of a future circumstance that you want.
Start by feeling yourself at that future point in time. Enter into those circumstances and act it out in your mind. Wander through the scene and become a part of it.
Now, enliven the scene and make it more real by imagining all 5 senses in your future circumstances. For instance, if you want to lose 50 lb. with your diet, imagine yourself at that weight and what it would be like. Give the scene color, smell and sounds. Imagine a texture, feeling everything in detail in those future circumstances.
Then come back to the present and focus your inner vision on seeing yourself progress through the steps it might take to get you from here today to over there tomorrow. Act out the steps in your mind’s eye, and see yourself moving toward your goal in progressive steps. In your mind, this can be done in a matter of moments.
You pull goals to you through focused attention, while simultaneously moving toward them with concerted action.
See the goal granted by placing yourself in the picture. See yourself acting on your goals, rather than just wishing or striving for them emotionally. See yourself acting out your vision, rather than just yearning for it. Move through the various steps that will place you as close as possible to the goal, both physically and in your feelings.
Own the feeling of being there! If you feel any ambivalence, then work to become more congruent with the goal using EFT or other hypnosis and diet techniques. Make sure your feelings and thoughts are not at odds with the goal. Radiate warmth and safety. Trust your feelings and intuition. If you project fear and uncertainty, you’ll never get there because you aren’t in alignment with the goal.
Your intuition is your subconscious showing you things in a quiet moment when your intellect is out of the way. Ask your subconscious what it knows that your intellect doesn’t. And let yourself be open to what the wisdom of your subconscious is telling you in this self-hypnosis exercise.
Hypnosis And Diet For Stress Relief
Stress is a hugely important issue if you are going to be using hypnosis and diet to lose weight. Dieting itself is one of the most stressful things you can do — physically and mentally. Stress is the leading cause of just about everything. ”Inescapable” stress is the ongoing sense that nothing can be done to relieve the amount of stress you are experiencing. This can be in the form of a troubled relationship, chronic financial problems, stress at work or chronic illness. It can even be caused by constant negative self talk or negative, pessimistic emotions. The feeling of inescapable stress creates cravings for addictive substances, such food or alcohol that will help us move the stress into the background.
For most of us, the stress isn’t going away. But if you can reduce stress where you can, and work on your responses to stressful situations, then you go a long way toward helping yourself lose weight. Diet is adding a stress to your life, which can multiply your stress level and make it harder to lose weight. Hypnosis and diet together can reduce stress overall. Listening to hypnosis and relaxation cds makes that job easy. Take time out during the day to pamper yourself, even in small ways.
Boosting Your Energy
It is possible to boost your energy, and even your metabolism, by using hypnosis. Anything that you can suggest to the subconsious mind will be accepted more readily in it’s receptive state. It’s important to keep your energy level up, not only to burn more calories, but also because most overeating occurs in the state of “tense tiredness.”
So anything you do that reduces tension and stress, and keeps your mood and energy level stable is a worthwhile investment. Mood and energy levels tend to go together. If you are in a negative mood, your energy tends to be low. When you are in a positive mood, your energy tends to be high — and everything seems a little bit easier.
If you are using hypnosis and diet together, then give your subconscious some powerful suggestions that your body will metabolize and process food easily, and that your metabolism will increase. See yourself with vibrant energy, moving through your day. And PROTECT your energy level by taking breaks during the day. Research shows that even 2 20-minute breaks, in which you relax and rest can keep your energy stable for the entire day.
5 Ways To Stop Cravings
You are in charge of your cravings! And I don’t mean that you should never have your favorite foods again, although sugar is a very addictive substance. Here are some of my favorite ways to reduce the urge for sweets:
1. Train your subconscious to help you eat “just the right amount” with the Relaxation CD. That way, you will have fewer urges to overeat. Your conscious mind doesn’t even have to be listening. Put it on at night and let your subconscious do the work!
2. Avoid diet substitutes, such as diet soda and diet lemonade. The substances used in these drinks are toxic, and have been shown to increase your desire for sweets. They do NOT help you lose weight.
3. Treat yourself in ways that do NOT involve sugar on a regular basis. Use the Lose Weight Without Willpower CD to reset your appetite and break the habit of reaching for sweets to treat yourself. If you train yourself to have non-food treats, then you won’t be looking for food every time you need a treat.
4. Eat enough protein, especially early in the day. Cravings will disappear, if you aren’t overdoing it at night.
5. Use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to stop cravings. This simple tapping technique is portable and can stop the urge to overeat. Hypnosis and diet modifications, along with EFT is a full cravings-busting package!
Lose Weight Now Stay Slim Forever
I used to be an emotional eater, binge eater, compulsive eater . . . all of that. No matter what emotion I felt, I used food to soothe it. Sometimes I was just tired and I wanted to eat . . . even though I wasn’t really hungry. My mind wanted food to settle down and feel better. While I have used many diets, the tools that I have developed without dieting were the ones that helped the most. Hypnosis and diet is the result of solving my own problem (for good!), then turning to help others.
I can honestly say that I am not an emotional eater anymore, and I have helped a LOT of other people stop binge eating and stop eating for emotional reasons. There are many tools that can help, and once you learn them, you are well on your way. It’s just a matter of finding what works for you.
I developed a program to help others. You might say I had to. There’s wasn’t anything out there to help people lose weight without dieting. It’s in it’s 2nd edition, and I must say, of all the programs at Hypnosis and Diet, it’s higly recommended. Read the testimonials. Give yourself the support. You deserve it! And you will feel SO much better for it.

Lose Weight Without Willpower
Your body doesn’t like starvation diets.
That’s why, at Hypnosis and Diet, I’ve never been a fan of using “willpower” to lose weight.
The more you try to resist the urges to eat, the stronger they get, until you eventually give in.
Willpower is based on ”logic” and it’s no match for the powerful emotionally-driven brain center that governs appetite when it thinks your body is starving.
The emotional brain keeps urging you to eat because it thinks your body is starving. Emotion will win out every time.
These simple new consciousness techniques “reset” the appetite center and reduce hunger signals. This creates a “peaceful indifference” to food. At hypnosis and diet, we believe in making things simple and using the subconscious mind to our advantage. Now, THAT is a great way to live!
EFT Weight Loss CD
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can be easily combined with hypnosis and diet to assist you in 4 main ways:
1. Stop food cravings and the urge to overeat
2. Neutralize the emotions that are driving the food cravings — Tired? Stressed? Upset? It’s easy to reach for food to soothe these feelings. EFT is a simple and elegant tool to soothe the emotions and recharge your energy, so you won’t be reaching for food.
3. Change your thinking about what is possible with weight loss (make the whole issue of weight loss be easier and less of a struggle). One of the biggest ways that we sabotage ourselves is negative thinking. If you get easily discouraged and you hear negative self-talk (the meanest words are the ones we say to ourselves), then use EFT to shift your thinking.
4. Stop sabotaging your weight loss! (This is perhaps the most helpful of all. What good is weight loss if you can’t hang onto it?)
EFT can unearth those core issues in a gentle and holistic way. It works perfectly with hypnosis and diet to “tap in” the positive changes you are making.
Recommendation: This CD was created for people who know the basics of EFT for weight loss. If you aren’t already familiar with EFT, get the book first. Then the CD will really make sense. Both are highly recommended!
