In the modern world millions are spent every year on diet products. Yet for all their ubiquity obesity is a problem that is increasing globally year on year. There are numerous explanations for this. One that you may not have considered is your mental approach and this is where a weight loss hypnotherapist may help.
The problem with losing weight is that the advice about what you should or should not do can change every day. Often one week a food will be described as a miracle cure all and the next it will be one to avoid. A food group that was once considered untouchable becomes the key to getting fitter.
A lot of the problems with people going on a diet is that they are not sustainable. Often people focus on a specific goal. They may want to get fit ready for a vacation they always wanted to go on or to look good for their wedding. In the short term they will be able to achieve this because they are motivated to reach their target.
The good news is that with a change of approach you can create more positive routines to replace unhealthy vicious circles. In the case of diet it is about finding a healthier substitute for an unhealthier snack. For example if you enjoy pasta then using less oil and not topping the pasta with cheese is often a good start.
The first is that if a food becomes forbidden it inevitably becomes more attractive. Therefore when the goal has been achieved dieters often put on weight. Often this will result them gaining more than when they first started as they overcompensate for the period they did not eat.
Unfortunately a lot of the time it is more the loss of motivation rather than the diet or exercise that is at fault. Therefore a better approach is to change your mental perspective in the long term. Often these psychological traps can be in our minds for long periods of time. For example a lot of people may go for drinks after work and consider their glass of beer or wine as a reward for a hard day of work.
What a professional hypnotherapist will do is get their patient to remove certain associations. For example they may often turn to cakes because they remember their mother baking them and making it for them when they felt sad. Therefore there is a subconscious association that this comfort food is linked with that memory. With hypnotherapy it is possible to disassociate the two things and get people to recognise that the cake is only personal to them because they have given the food that symbolic comfort value.
In short therapy to help you lose weight is not necessarily about deprivation. Indeed if anything deprivation will result in more problems in the longer term as it means food and drink you are not supposed to eat or drink become more tempting. It is more about creating ways of improving your behaviour and losing weight in the long term. Look online for more information and to find therapists in the Eastchester NY local area.
