How You Can Change Unhealthy Eating Habits With Hypnosis:-

There's been a lot in the news about obesity in this country. The cover of a recent Newsweek magazine had a picture of a baby holding French fries. The caption read: When I grow up I'm going to be 300 pounds. Help!

Hypnosis is a great tool to use to lose weight. Through hypnosis you can change the types of food you eat and the portions as well as the way you eat.

We all eat for other reasons besides hunger. We eat because of anger, boredom, celebration, companionship, sadness, stress, other people, time of day. We eat for emotional reasons. Just knowing this and why you eat is the first step in changing your eating habits. Through hypnosis you can discover why you eat and take control so that you eat only when hungry and stop when just about full.

Through hypnosis you become more aware of your body. You become aware of when you're truly hungry. You recall a time when you were very hungry and a time when you were stuffed. Then you can program your subconscious mind to never wait until you're very hungry to eat and to never continue to eat until you're stuffed. You learn to listen to the inner wisdom of your subconscious mind.

When doing your reinforcement at home, you give yourself positive auto suggestions like "I control food, food does not control me" or "I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm almost full." Why does your subconscious mind accept these suggestions. Because you remind yourself of your motivation to lose weight and eat healthy. Any goal can be accomplished when you are constantly reminded of your motivation. Through repetition and reinforcement, you begin to notice changes in why you eat.

Once you've identified what your unhealthy eating habit is- why you eat- the next step is to change the way you eat. Most of us eat mindlessly. We eat fast while we're doing something else like watching TV. We are unaware of eating. Through hypnosis you can eat mindfully instead of mindlessly. Eating mindfully means to be fully aware of the eating experience. Now to lose weight, you must eat less. But you must still feel satisfied or else you'll binge. By eating slowly you can eat less and still feel satisfied.

Through hypnosis you can cut your portions in half. Whatever you normally eat, you can cut it in half. Using smaller plates, you can have half the plate with vegetables, a quarter of your plate with lean protein, and a quarter of your plate with grains. And you can have fruit for dessert. Through hypnosis you can cut your portions in half and eat little and often.

Through hypnosis you can become more mindful of your food. You can make the eating experience pleasurable. When you're at home, you can set the table using nice fancy plates. Smaller plates, but nice plates. Flowers on the table and a nice tablecloth. Make the eating experience enjoyable. Focus only on eating. No TV. No reading. Become aware only of eating. If you're with your family and friends you can enjoy conversation with them. When you sit down to eat, you can visualize a fireplace. You can visualize your body burning up food and fat like a fireplace burns up an old log. You can say to yourself "my body burns up food and fat like a fireplace burns up an old log."

You can have an attitude of gratitude for your food, being grateful for all that it took to get your food to your table. And you can use all your senses. You can look at the color of your food, the shape of your food. You can hear the sound of your food when you're chewing it. You can feel the texture of your food in your mouth. You can smell the aroma of your food and taste the flavor of your food. Every so often you can put down your fork or spoon and take some deep breaths, imagining you're using a bellows to add oxygen to a fire to keep it burning.

I was watching my dog eat once, and he inhales his food. Remember, we're not dogs. We can enjoy our food and eat slowly. Using hypnosis you can be more aware of when you're almost full and stop. You'll be able to eat less and enjoy it more.
