COMFORT EATING

Usually there is an underlying, subconscious reason for weight problems (comfort eating) hypnotherapy will help address these issues to easily gain control of unhealthy eating patterns and to motivate you to discover your best body through daily exercise and healthy eating.

 

Why do we overeat? 

The human body has a mechanism for letting us know when we are full. Those who overeat often ignore the signs of being full and continue to eat. Sometimes they eat so fast that the signals of being full are missed, or try to avoid wasting food by eating everything on the plate. Other reasons people overeat may be because they are bored, lonely, rewarding themselves or protecting themselves. Many of these reasons can be traced back to an emotional event that happened in the past and has remained locked in the subconscious mind.

THE VIRTUAL GASTRIC BAND

What is the Virtual Gastric Band and how is it different to Gastric Band Surgery?

The Virtual Gastric Band is a remarkable non- invasive weight loss program. Imagine having the results usually achieved by having a surgical Gastric Band fitted but without the pain and risks involved with surgery. The Virtual Gastric Band uses the power of hypnosis to retrain you to be satisfied with smaller amounts of food. It changes how you think about food and gives very safe, very predictable results.

The clinical hypnotherapy convinces the brain that the stomach is full after a certain level of intake, and that there is no need for more food.  The Virtual Gastric Band will only allow you to eat small amounts of food and you won't feel hungry or deprived. This is  a long term solution to your weight problems without having to pay thousands of dollars for surgery. 

 

Are there risks involved?

The Virtual Gastric Band can be undertaken quickly and privately, without the lengthy delay of hospital waiting lists, and of course carries no costly invasive surgery, no risks and no on-going medical treatment and has a 95% success rate.

 

Is it painful?

Actually the Virtual Gastric Band procedure is extremely relaxing and pleasurable. 

 

Who is suitable for the Virtual Gastric Band procedure?

If you are overweight and are committed to lose weight, then you should be suitable.  The only exception would be if there is a physiological reason for your weight problem.

In a meta-analysis, comparing the results of adding hypnosis to weight loss treatment across multiple studies, showed that adding hypnosis increased weight loss by an average of 97% during treatment, and even more importantly increased the effectiveness post treatment by over 146%. This shows that hypnosis works even better over time (Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1996)
