SYNERGY HYPNOSIS

Weight Management

Hypnosis has been shown to be an effective method for weight management when combined with other techniques including exercise and behavior management programs. The National Institutes of Health has concluded that:

“The best way to reach a healthy weight is to follow a sensible eating plan and engage in regular physical activity. Weight-loss programs should encourage healthy behaviors that help you lose weight and that you can maintain over time. Safe and effective weight-loss programs should include:

Healthy eating plans that reduce calories but do not rule out specific foods or food groups
Regular physical activity and/or exercise instruction
Tips on healthy behavior changes that also consider your cultural needs
Slow and steady weight loss of about ¾ to 2 pounds per week and not more than 3 pounds per week (weight loss may be faster at the start of a program)
A plan to keep the weight off after you have lost it

Hypnosis has been touted by some as a “quick fix” for weight loss. However, you should know that studies conducted on weight loss programs where hypnosis was the only method of treatment have shown only mixed results. An article on WebMD.com concluded that “Hypnosis cannot be effective as a sole treatment (for weight management), but rather in combination with a comprehensive weight loss program that teaches proper eating habits and exercise. In this context, hypnosis can be "extremely effective."

As a client of Synergy Hypnosis, you will receive hypnotic suggestions within the context of a well rounded weight management program. You will be encouraged to eat less, eat better and to exercise on a regular basis. You will receive suggestions bolstered by our belief in “a change theory” as well as self esteem enhancements.
