… but it felt like chewing carpet,” she said. “I thought I had better look at the eating plan, which was just liquid for two weeks and then gradually worked up to solid food.”
She said after years of eating a lot, she didn’t think she could succeed in her diet so easily.
“After eating a lot over the years I didn’t think I could do it but I found it so easy and never felt hungry at all,” she explained. “The weight came off so fast and in my first week I dropped 12lbs. I still can’t believe I have reached a size 12 (size 10 in US) and I sometimes do pick up my old size in the shops.”
Hypnosis predates carb and calorie counting by a few centuries, but this age-old attention-focusing technique has yet to be embraced wholeheartedly as an effective weight loss strategy.
After a reanalysis of 18 hypnotic studies showed that psychotherapy clients lost twice as much weight as those who didn’t (and, in one study, kept it off two years after treatment ended). This proves that hypnotherapy has remained a well-kept weight loss secret.
“The virtual gastric mind band is made up of cognitive behavioral therapy, neuro-linguistic programming, and mental preparation,” Roger’s therapist Andrew Nelson said, according to Daily Mail. “The treatment begins with an initial discussion where I ask people to visualize themselves as they want to be and we talk about healthy eating.”
“People eat for a variety of different reasons and once we have realized the cause I then put them under hypnosis and reaffirm what we have talked about,” Nelson said.
