Losing weight starts with your mind

January 5th, 2012 by Marianne Elizabeth


Losing weight consistently and keeping it off requires sustained effort and commitment. With regard to our health, wealth or happiness every significant change starts with the mind. To assist you in your weight loss I will outline some tips for moving quickly toward your goals.

1. Define your dream.

What is your desire with regard to weight loss? Is it to lose ten pounds? Twenty? A hundred pounds? Perhaps it is more of a picture in your mind, such as looking good in a bikini on your next holiday. Take some time to sit quietly, take a few deep breaths and let the idea come to you. Refine your desire to one or two sentences. Then write it down. ( I keep a special notebook just for this purpose).

2. Distill your desire into a goal.

Have you identified your desire? Great! The next step is to make your desire a goal. For example, if your desire was to lose 50 pounds, think of a time frame that would be attainable for you. How many pounds would you like to lose per week? How many weeks will it take to reach your goal? Once again, write it down. “By (enter date here) I am (enter weight goal) and feeling great”. Of course you can paraphrase and write how good you are going to feel, what you are wearing, and how you are looking. Use your imagination as vividly as you can to come up with a picture of yourself at your goal weight.

3. Define the steps to take.

Sit quietly once again and brainstorm the methods available for you to achieve your dream goal. Online tools can really help here..there are many available to count calories, or to find out how much energy is used in a variety of kinds of exercise. You will need an average deficit of 3,500 calories to lose one pound of body weight. Use tools to plan your meals and workout time. This is much easier than you think!

4. Avoid processed foods.

There is no doubt that whole foods (foods with a minimum of processing) provide far more nutrients than highly processed foods. For this reason they are far more satisfying than highly processed foods, such as packet cakes, sweets, pastries, ready meals and snack bars. Natural whole foods include meat, eggs, dairy, leafy greens, nut butters, and sprouted breads and grains. These foods provide the body with the essential vitamins and nutrients it needs and therefore it is not necessary to go on eating as much in volume as with “junk” foods. Homemade foods are best. A home made cake is not the best weight loss food, however it contains at most 4-5 ingredients whereas a packet cake contains many ingredients including preservatives and artificial flavours that the body has to break down. Stick with simple, wholesome foods. The bonus is they taste better too!

5. Use your imagination.

Did you know you can harness your imagination to lose weight easily? Affirmations used daily will mean that you start to find your mind accepting them and healthy choices around food become easier. Hypnosis for weight loss is one way of making this much much easier.

So there we have it. Desire, Goal, Plan, Eat well, Imagination. Use these simple steps and start achieving your goals today!

If you want to jump start your slimming, try slimming hypnosis. BodyMind hypnosis recordings are available right now in Mp3 format for immediate download.

Not Sure if Weight Loss Hypnosis Can Work for You? Take This Short Quiz & See

April 9th, 2011 by Chel Hamilton

So you’re looking to try something different to help you reach your weight loss goal, but hypnosis might seem downright weird. It’s true, there’s no shortage of discussion (and controversy) when it comes to hypnosis. It seems that people either believe it in (and love it) or don’t believe in it (and think it’s all a big scam). Even when confronted with the potentially powerful benefits that hypnosis can offer for weight loss the most common response is, “That sounds great for other people, but I just don’t think I can be hypnotized.” I get it. I used to be a skeptic too.

Did you know…

1) Scientific research shows 90-95% of the population CAN be hypnotized?

2) Those same studies demonstrated the smarter you are, the more hypnotizable you are?

So, what exactly is hypnosis? Well, according to the Mayo Clinic “hypnosis (also referred to as hypnotherapy, or hypnotic suggestion) is a trance-like state in which you have heightened focus, concentration and inner absorption. When you’re under hypnosis, you usually feel calm and relaxed, and you can concentrate intensely on a specific thought, memory, feeling or sensation.”

In this hypnotic trance state some people find they are more easily able to block out distractions, while others find themselves in a state of hyper-awareness…more alert and aware of the sounds and distractions around them. Neither way is more “right” or wrong than the other. And neither way has been shown to adversely affect the hypnotic process.

While under hypnosis the subconscious mind is more open than usual to suggestions — and this can be used with weight loss to modify your perceptions, behavior, sensations and emotions about food and exercise in your innermost mind. Therapeutic hypnosis is used to improve your health and well-being (and is very different from so-called “stage hypnosis” used by entertainers). Perhaps most importantly, although you’re more open to suggestion during therapeutic hypnosis, your free will remains intact and you don’t lose control over your behavior.

So, how can I know if I am “hypnotizable?”

The great news is that there’s a simple quiz you can take to find out just how “hypnotizable” you are so you can know for sure if weight loss hypnosis can work for you. 14 easy questions, and when you’re done, you will know exactly how hypnotizable you are:

1) Have you ever awakened in the middle of the night and felt you could not speak and/or move?

2) Are you able to highly focus your concentration on a thought or task when it’s of interest to you?

3) Do you consider yourself an analytical person?

4) Do you sometimes “tune out” when someone is talking to you, not hearing exactly what was said, because your mind drifts to something totally unrelated?

5) Have you ever experienced being “in the zone” when playing sports, music, or other such activities?

6) As a child, did you feel that you were more affected by the tone in your parents’ voice rather than by what they actually said?

7) Do other people consider you a caring, empathetic and “feeling type” person?
8) Have you ever become so involved in a book, movie, or TV show that you’ve cried during a very sad (or very happy) moment in the story?

9) Have you ever “zoned out” while driving and missed your exit on the freeway because you were thinking about something else?

10) Are you able to follow important yet simple instructions?

11) Have you ever looked for something (purse, keys, sunglasses, etc.) that was right in front of you — but you just didn’t seem to see them at the time?

12) Have you had the experience of someone calling your name, but you happened to be so deeply absorbed in other thoughts (or actions) that you didn’t hear the person calling you?

13) During adulthood, have you ever walked and/or talked in your sleep?

14) Are you able to picture and/or imagine things in your mind?

1-5 “Yes” Answers: With a strong conscious commitment, and some extra hypnosis practice, you may be able to get weight loss hypnosis to work for you.

6-11: Congratulations! The power of hypnosis is yours to use to help you reach your weight loss goal more easily and effectively than anything you have tried before.

12-14 “Yes” Answers: Do you feel more sensitive than others? And/or more easily overwhelmed? I’m not surprised! Your answers indicate you are probably in a light state of hypnosis all the time. But don’t worry. The first time you use therapeutic hypnosis just pay attention to the steps used to come out of hypnosis — and use those steps any time in your day you are feeling overwhelmed so you can bring yourself to a less suggestible state of awareness. The best part? Hypnosis of any kind, especially weight loss, will work really well for you. (Just promise me you will stay away from any Hypnosis Stage Shows!)

Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Specialist on Harley Street

February 20th, 2011 by Clare White

Clare White is based in London’s Harley Street and is an experienced, professional hypnotherapist with a personal weight loss of over 4 stones.

Having had first-hand experience of any situation helps you to understand other people’s struggles. Clare has managed to keep her weight off for over 9 years and now focuses on helping other people do the same with an understanding that only those who has fought the same battle would understand.

Clare also has a NCFE level 2 qualification in Nutrition and Health and a BTEC Certificate in Life Coaching Skills.

Clare is fully insured and on the General Hypnotherapy Register.

Losing the weight through Hypnotherapy helped clare to gain the control over food that she needed. Always a yo-yo dieter before, having control was a major priority for Clare. Each person is unique in their dieting and eating habits and most people know exactly what they need to do to lose weight. Hypnotherapy gives you the powerful subconscious tool in order to STOP.

Treating your over eating and food cravings with dieting, slimming pills, weight loss tea or the extreme of weight loss surgery is treating a symptom rather than dealing with the real issue.

In most cases there are real reasons why we overeat – and these reasons are rarely about food, but more about what is going on in our heads and our lives. “If you can change your mind” believes Clare “you can change your life.” Hypnosis is a very powerful and exciting way to finally change your eating habits and your food choices.

Having a Hypnotic Gastric Band is an option that Clare gives her clients. It gives you the feeling that you have had an actual gastric band fitted and the full results from that procedure BUT without actually having the surgery. The mind is that powerful, it can send your body the physical reactions as though you have had the gastric band fitted and you won’t be able to eat as much as you will feel fuller quicker.

HYPNOSIS is so powerful it can help you regain your old, happier self again before you started your struggle with weight. Making you the happier, more confident person that you were and can be again.

For more information about the above and a free telephone consultation, without obligation, please get in touch via telephone (07723 012987) or visit my website:

20Day Master Cleanse Diet – How Efficient They Are?

December 3rd, 2010 by Katie A. Jones

Having 20 days of master cleanse can be an amazing feat for you. This kind of diet plan can be effective if you have done this previously. But for beginners, it can be hard but it is just mind over matter.

However, they can surmount their weakness with strong presence of mind. For beginners, a 10-14 day diet plan will also work, which is considered as the most desirable lemonade plan. Longer diets will provide better results but if you are not in your good health, it may not make sense.

After a few more days, you will surely feel weakened. To alleviate hunger and weakness, you can drink more of the lemonade mixture. In this way, your hunger will be suppressed since you are consuming liquid. Remember that water as a main ingredient in the lemonade mixture is a hunger suppressant so you will always feel full.

A lemonade mixture is a great substitute that will help you to get going because it contains plenty of water, which will keep your stomach occupied. For working people, carrying lemonade mixture along with them is a good idea so that they don’t have to search for it whenever they need the same.

To keep you distracted from the urge to eat, a good idea is to sleep as much as possible or involve in activities like reading books or watching television. Keep yourself away from dinners and lunches so that you won’t feel as if you are missing your food.

If you are on your last days of having the diet plan, occupy yourself and think positively since two or three more days and your target date of doing the master cleanse is almost done. Remember not to give up on the 20th day. Make it worthwhile and for sure your goals are achieved.

December 2nd, 2010 by Katie A. Jones

We all are aware that a good diet plan is important to make your dreams for a six pack abs to be a reality. There is no doubt that nutritional foods have an important role to play. However, burning your belly fat and showing up your abs can take more time.

Some of the important things that you should keep in mind are;

Lower Calorie Intake – Make sure that the food you’re consuming have lower calorie than what you used to consume. A lower calorie food is very important for you to avoid fat getting accumulated at your belly area.

Salt Consumption – Salt is required for you to have sufficient iodine but that doesn’t mean that you need to consume excessive amount of salt. The excessive consumption of salt will eventually dry up your muscles that will lead to hypertension. Make sure that your salt intake is within the limits.

Water Consumption – Consuming plenty of water is very essential to have a healthy diet. Water not only helps you to keep your body hydrated but it is also a great idea to suppress your hunger. By drinking plenty of water, you will always feel that you had sufficient food.

More Meals, Lower Amount – A great idea is to split your meal into several small courses so that you do not have to worry about fat getting accumulated in your belly. Splitting your meal into five or six times makes it perfect to a six pack diet.

Eat healthy foods – Healthy foods will be your primary diet plan. Instead of eating sweet candies, eat fruits that contain natural sugars. High fiber vegetables, whole grains should also be included. Meat can also be added to your menu as long as it is fat free.

These are some of the best techniques to create your own perfect six pack abs diet. If you could follow these rules and make sure to consume 5 to 6 meals each day, you’re most likely going to have that healthy ab.
