The American public spends millions maybe even billions on
weight loss every year. A quick search of Amazon.com using the word “diet”
reveals over 300,000 books related to this subject. At almost any time on any
day turn on the TV and you’ll find a commercial selling a product for weight
loss. There are all kinds of diets or diet programs; high protein diets, low
fat diets, grapefruit diets, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc. And now, we’re
into surgery to try to lose weight. With so much information about how to lose
weight, why is America in the throes of an obesity epidemic?

We know what it takes to lose weight at the physical
level. Simply take in fewer calories than you burn each day. Simple isn’t it?
Yeah right! If it’s so simple then why do most people on a diet gain back their
weight in less than a year? Because the physical side of losing weight is only
half the equation, that’s why.

The other half of the equation is the mental side. People
who struggle to lose weight quite often have a fat person’s mental image of
themselves. At the subconscious level they still see themselves as fat. It
doesn’t matter if they’ve lost that extra weight or not. Subconsciously, they
still believe that they are overweight. And, as anyone who has studied the mind
recognizes, whatever the mind holds as a belief, the mind will physically
create. To the dieter’s subconscious, the weight loss is only a temporary state
of affairs. As soon as the dieter either loses vigilance maintaining their diet
or tires of the constant battle to remain thin, the subconscious then takes over
and recreates the physical body to match the overweight image the subconscious
maintains.

So what is the solution? Simple, change the way the mind
views the physical body. Change the subconscious image of the dieter’s body to
match the slim attractive body the dieter desires. Once a new image is created
in the subconscious, the power of the subconscious mind is now working with the
dieter to easily create the slim attractive body they desire.

What’s the best way to change a subconscious image? The
best way to change a person’s image of themselves is through hypnosis or
self-hypnosis. Either method provides a way of accessing the subconscious and
changing the beliefs and self-images that make dieting such a struggle. If
you’re tired of battling your weight, if you’re tired of yo-yo dieting, if
you’re fed up with being over weight, give hypnosis a try in conjunction with
your diet. I think you’ll be quite pleased with the results.
