Hypnosis is a very old technique that is programmed towards the subconscious mind to alter your mind. Hypnosis has been generally used towards other fields such as stopping addictions like smoking, improve communication and persuasion skills, enhance confidence and motivational skills. But the big question over centuries has been, Can it work for weight loss as well?
Hypnosis to Lose Weight- What do the experts say?
According to Dr. David Katz, an ABC medical contributor and a professor at Yale University, hypnosis is not a definitive solution to losing weight or weight control. He observes, "Hypnosis can make a contribution to weight loss but it's not the be-all, end-all."
Also there are other factors to be considered. For example, by nature some people are submissive and they are more hypnotizable. Others are resistant to the idea of hypnosis and hence shedding weight through hypnosis may not be an ideal technique. Hypnosis techniques can be used to reduce the cravings for food especially sugary foods and drinks.
Benefits of Hypnosis
Unlike diet pills, hypnosis does not have any harmful or negative side effects. Hypnosis when combined with other weight loss practices can be effective and beneficial in reducing and maintaining weight.
Downsides of Hypnosis
On the flip side, a number of unqualified professionals and quacks have falsely tried to mislead the public by claiming to lose weight and taken advantage of the gullible. So you have to be very careful in making sure that you carefully look into the credentials of the hypnotist.
