The weight loss industry is big business worldwide. In recent years in the UK, more than £1 billion was spent by con­sumers on various weight loss products and food programs. Not to mention all the money spent on Gym Mem­berships and exercise equipment

Choosing an effective weight loss program is the first step towards staying healthy, if you need to lose weight for the sake of main­taining or improving your health and well being. But staying with a weight loss program can prove to be dif­ficult for so many. That is why, when it comes to weight loss, choosing a program that addresses the psy­cho­logical aspects of excess weight is vital.

Your mind is a powerful tool. While many people have yet to understand and harness the power of their minds, plenty of people are trying to do so, on a con­sistent basis, and this is helping them to reach all manner of success in their personal and pro­fes­sional lives.

If you are at the point where nothing is working for you as far as losing weight or dieting, and you want to go what some may say is a more con­tro­versial way, then you might want to consider weight loss hypnosis.

Hypnosis and hyp­no­therapy are often given an unfair repu­tation as many people consider that what they see in movies or on stage is how a pro­fes­sional therapist works and this could not be further from the truth. However it is vital that you check out your chosen therapist and their cre­dentials. Word of mouth recom­mend­ations are always the best, failing that check with one of the pro­fes­sional bodies such as the Hyp­no­therapy Asso­ciation in the UK.

Recently a British con­sultant clinical hyp­no­therapist Noel Bradford has been running lengthy trials invest­igating the benefits of hyp­no­therapy for those wanting to lose weight.

Over an extended period, Bradford saw over 30 clients at his west London clinic for a fixed trial of 7 sessions. The results of the trials have been at the very least impressive.

“The trials were split into two distinct phases,” expla

ned Bradford, “clients that took part in Phase One of the trial had 7 private sessions with me and we explored their rela­tionship with food and introduced some bene­ficial sug­gestions under hypnosis to resolve any con­flicts in this relationship.”

Each client was also given a CD to listen to between sessions that added further re-​​enforcement. All of the clients that took part in the initial phase of the trial lost weight.

“Even one client that dis­covered she was pregnant towards the end of her course of sessions was able to maintain her starting weight” con­tinues Bradford. “The average weight loss of those that com­pleted the trial was 7 pounds (3.5kg).”

For Phase Two of the trial Bradford recruited a further 10 people that wanted to lose weight and using exactly the same hyp­no­therapy methods that worked for initial phase added a sug­gested eating plan and some fat burning herbal sup­plements into the mix.

Bradford takes up the story “It was remarkable the phase two clients found that fol­lowing the sug­gested eating plan and using the sup­plements was easy and the weight loss impressive”.

“The sug­gested eating plan is by no means a pre­scriptive diet however a healthy eating plan that encourages the client to follow a healthier eating regime and to change the protein/​carbohydrate balance in the favour of protein.“

The healthy eating plan advocates five to six small meals a day that means that the follower is never hungry and therefore much less likely to snack.

One client David Donovan agreed to talk about his experience “The pro­gramme is fantastic (don’t call it a diet as it doesn’t feel like one!!) and I will recommend you and the pro­gramme to all.”

Donovan was able to drop over 24lbs in the six week period and feeling very positive about the future, “I am never hungry and any cravings for any of those high carb or high fat foods that I used have on other diets are non-​​existent”

Writing about her experience of the Weight loss program in the Uxbridge Gazette Cathy Ranson who took part in phase one of the trial said “The mixture of weekly hyp­no­therapy sessions and listening to the CD at home have helped me in my mission to drop a dress size for the summer. I was ini­tially a bit unsure about hyp­no­therapy, won­dering if it was all mumbo jumbo, but the results speak for themselves.”

From the trials it is clear that the program works and is highly effective so that on September 1^st 2009 the result of the trials will go on sale to the public in the form of the Ultimate Hypno Diet which takes the form of a set of 3 Compact Discs with Email Support. There is also the option of adding the excellent range of sup­plements either as part of the package or as sep­arately available add-​​ons.  For details of the packages and more information see www.UltimateHypnoDiet.com.
