Hypnosis to Lose Weight - Does Healthy Food Matter?

Calories In, Calories Out.

On a very simple level, weight loss can be equated strictly with the number of calories you put into your body and then subtract the amount of energy you expend in caloric value. You need to eat an amount that is less than what you burn in order to lose weight.

With that said there is a number of variables that will affect each individual's weight loss as well.

Man vs. Woman

One of those seems to be gender. Women naturally have more fatty tissues available to them, and this is for survival of themselves and the species. Fatty tissues that support the reproductive system and are necessary for our human survival.

What is your age?

Another factor is age. As we age, our body's metabolism usually slows down, so food intake should adjust to our aging. Unfortunately, as we age we often condition ourselves to eating for comfort. We have more unpleasant experiences which require comforting and so we eat for comfort more often. The longer we do this the more habitual this becomes. And this works against us as well.

Re-Conditioning

To overcome this conditioning requires mentally retraining ourselves to respond in a different way that is more appropriate for what it is that we truly want to become. If you want to lose weight, you will want to condition yourself to respond to food as if it is just fuel for your body and not a way of getting comfort. You need to train yourself to rely on other means to derive comfort.

Hypnosis - A way to take back control

While this might seem difficult for some, the good news is that by using hypnosis you can accomplish this pretty easily. Changing your mind from the source, is the quickest way to make changes that are unthinking. And you already know how effective that is as it has been your unthinking programming that has probably gotten you into this trouble already.

What is your BMI?

Another thing that is important is what is your BMI. That is your Body Mass Index. It will determine if you are fat or not. Muscle is important, and you want to make sure that you are not losing muscle just to have a lower number on the bathroom scale. The number really has less meaning than the way you look, feel, fit into your clothes, and how you get around in the world. That is the type of fitness that is most important.

Thin or Healthy? Why not both?

And finally, do you want to be thin or healthy? Do you want to be attractive, or just be able to say you weigh a particular number? Your answer will probably be that being thin will provide you with something other than bragging rights over how much you weigh. Most people want to lose weight because they want to feel better and be more attractive. Increase their self esteem, improve their chances for promotion at work, or socially. It's really about feeling better more than about looking better. The result of fitting into your clothes more comfortably. The freedom of not having to focus on food and meals so much, so you can put your mind onto other more productive and pleasing thoughts.

Self Hypnosis To Reprogram Your Thoughts

You can learn to refocus your mind on a healthier life, and lifestyle using self hypnosis. You can take an active role in re programming your mind to think the thoughts that make you feel more successful, which will lead you to being more successful. Where some people fail in weight loss and management is that they equate success and pleasurable feelings only with attaining their goal. So the path toward the goal has no meaning and is perceived as a necessary struggle in order to get the goal. You can use self hypnosis to get that pleasurable feeling of success by just being on the path toward your goal. That will serve to motivate you to getting to your ideal weight.

Long Term Consequences

There are also long term health consequences that result from eating unhealthy foods. So all of your worries and concerns over weight might be short lived if you find yourself succumbing to a life threatening ailment as a result of eating really poorly.
