Does hypnotherapy work for losing weight?

I don't believe in that, show me someone who has lost the weight from hypnotherapy.  What happened to diet and exercise?  That's really the only proven thing that works with no side effects.

Any exercise combined with a healthy diet will help you lose weight.  Pilates doesn't burn that many calories by itself, but it does help you build muscle.  Muscle burns calories even when you are doing nothing, so you want muscle!  So, try some Pilates and see if you like it.

Hypnosis can be a very effective tool if used by the right people.  Unfortunately many who hang out a shingle as a hypnotherapist are probably not qualified to handle the issues mentioned.\n\nNow I am not convinced that some these professional therapists are much of help either.  Personally I think part of the challenge is to find those who have references that you can check.\n\nFor depression, there are some interesting studies showing that activity can be just or more effective in the treatment than taking anti-depression medication.  My point is that this is an area that is constantly evolving so I wouldn't just get stuck in one way of thinking.\n\nMarriage issues, well it depends.  Hypnosis can be very effective in helping with issues of intimacy.  It has a long track record there.  It can be helpful in reframing the way partners view certain situations.  Can it solve everything, no but neither can a lot of conventional approaches.

For many people hynotherapy can actually work very well.  Trust me, it's nothing like the old movies--you know, with  the swinging pocket watch and all.  ;-)

Yes, but the weight loss will be much slower. Cutting out 500 calories will only lose you about a pound a week. Remember, exercise not only burns calories, but also speeds up your metabolism! Not to mention all the other benifits it has.\n\nIf you do decide to simply cut calories, however, just make sure you don't go below 1200. Any lower and your body will go into "survival" mode and it will be much more difficult to lose the weight and keep it off.

You will lose the weight but it will only come off with decreasing your calorie intake and exercise. Keep in mind that lots of medications make you feel like you are hungry, but you really are not. Also, losing weight will help with your depression! Good Luck!

no...not unless you want to eat something like a cup of oil that makes you puke for a few hours or have the runs. Wanna lose weight??? Eat less energy than you are expending. That's it. Period. It is physically impossible to maintain your weight if you are burning off more than you take in....that would imply that you are a perpetual motion machine...ie- its impossible. Forget slow metabolism excuses, forget protein diets, carb diets, etc. Just eat slightly less energy than you expend, and you will lose weight.

there is a website for yoga, Bikram Yoga is REALLY good for weight loss (given that u dont have heart problems).\nAlso, if u just run, jog, dance, have sex, do whatever continuous exercise for 20 minutes a day every day for several months u will notice a significant weight difference.\nswimming is also very good for a total body workout.\nwhen u work out regularely tru to eat at least 4-5 times daily (small meals).\nin conjunction to aerobic exercise do some weight training to ensure you dont sag afer you loose weight.

While eating healthy is the best way to lose weight, acupuncture does help with reducing the appetite and stress/anxiety related to over eating.  I'm a Licensed Acupuncturist and recently did advanced training in China.  In the hospital I studied, they treated many patients for weight loss with good success, and most of the patients had treatments at least three times a week.

Your question implies an attitude that will lead to failure.\nCrash weight reduction programs don't work.  \nIf you're commited to changing your life style, you can develop the body you want and keep it forever - with very little effort, but you've got to expect to give it a year or so to work.\nSlow and steady wins the race.

You can't target weight loss to any specific region of your body. When you lose weight, in general, you will lose from your face, down. Doing Pilates is very beneficial, however, and, if you stick with it, will help in the weight loss process, as well as build muscle. Don't worry about your legs getting "too big" with muscle. They won't get "too big", and a muscular body is healthier than an out of shape, overweight one.

There are many plans that work, the key is really what will work for yur personality and discipline type. I used (and still use)Weight Watchers and was very successful. I lost 123 pounds and now I run marathons, teach dance and even tried out for womens professional football, I used to be 256 pounds and would get tired walking ! Weight Watchers is great because it is so felxible, the weekly meeting really help with support and education about nutrition and excercise topics. Go to Weightwatchers.com and check it out!

Yes it does, but there is more to weight loss than just water. It is just part of the solution. Weight loss only occurs when your calorie input is less than your calories output. This means if you eat 1200 calories in a day you need to output more than 1200 calories in a day. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved if you don't have the access. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. If you have access to a gym include boxing and spin classes as well. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Yes it does, BUT, you have to want to change and it does NOT happen overnight.\nThis is a type of subliminal hypnosis and it does work if you want it to and give it enough time to work.\nMy friend is a hypnotist and it does work.
