Weight loss is the decrease of bodily fluids, fat, adipose tissues and lean mass leading to a reduction of your body weight. Appetite is a desire to eat and drink for pleasure. It significantly differs from hunger, because hunger is felt when your body doesn’t have enough reserves to sustain itself and therefore calls for nourishment.
Medical science research at Tufts-New England Medical Center has proven that all diets are effective if you can stick to them. Atkins - low carb; The Zone - low glycemic index; Ornish - low fat; Weight Watchers - low calorie. Researchers have also proven that almost no one can stick to any diet because of his or her appetite. So to be successful with a diet, weight loss requires appetite suppression. Webster's Dictionary defines "Appetite" as: "The desire for gratification of some want, craving, or passion." So "appetite" is eating and drinking for relaxation and pleasure. Many people confuse appetite with hunger. Hunger is defined as "The body's call for nourishment." In other words, when the body needs sustenance, that's when you feel genuine hunger. By that differentiation, it is almost impossible for a person who is overweight to "be hungry." However, it is possible for you to have feelings that you interpret as "hunger." And the stomach contracting in expectation of being fed causes those feelings. When you were an infant and you became cranky, your mother would put a bottle into your mouth to calm you down. You would get distracted, become calmer and often go to sleep. That sequence of events was repeated hundreds of times so that your unconscious mind was programmed: When something goes into your mouth, you get relaxation and pleasure from it. Now that you are an adult, if you feel tense or anxious, you crave something in your mouth for relaxation and pleasure - food! People Also Get Cravings and Urges Because Of Conditioning. When you associate consuming food with any other action, the other activity will trigger cravings for food and a compulsion to eat. This is called a conditioned response. For example: If you eat when you drive your car, you will automatically get an urge to eat each time you drive your car. What About Compulsive Overeaters Who Eat Because Of Emotional Reasons? We define a compulsion as an "irresistible impulse." One of the presuppositions of NLP is: All behaviors are driven by a positive intention. In other words, our mind only motivates behaviors that benefit or protect us in some way. So in NLP terms, being fat is a behavior when it provides a positive outcome for us. You must be wondering what the possible positive outcomes of being fat could possibly be. The list is as long as the list of people who have an appetite that is out of control. But I'll give you a classic example: A person gets their heart broken in a relationship. So to protect the self from getting the heart broken again, the unconscious motivates the self to become fat to keep the self out of relationships and prevent another broken heart. A big secret to suppressing your appetite is called reframing. With an NLP six-step weight loss reframe, we respect the fact that the unconscious is pushing us to consume extra food for relaxation and pleasure. And if we are eating compulsively because being fat is protecting us, we respect that also. In an NLP reframe we compromise with our subconscious mind. In the scenario of eating for relaxation and pleasure, we ask our subconscious to assume the responsibility for substituting some other behaviors. The alternate behaviors must be as effective and available at providing the same relaxation and pleasure. But they must also be more acceptable to us on a conscious level. When the unconscious is motivating us into alternate behaviors that provide the relaxation and pleasure that we require - we lose our appetite on this score. If you are an emotional eater we do an additional reframe. We ask your unconscious mind to assume responsibility for finding new behaviors in place of being overweight. These new behaviors must be as effective and available at providing the same positive outcomes. But they must be behaviors that are more consciously acceptable to you. When your subconscious mind is motivating you into alternate behaviors that provide the same protections that you require, you lose the urge to overeat. As far as feeling cravings because of conditioning (conditioned responses), we utilize various NLP and hypnotic techniques that erase those conditioned responses. That breaks the connection between the behaviors, and dissolves the urges and feelings of compulsion. As soon as your appetite has been eliminated and any compulsion to overeat has been dealt with, you can easily stick to any diet that you chose on an indefinite basis so that it becomes a permanent lifestyle change. Weight Loss Through Appetite Suppression Using Hypnosis CD's Weight loss is the decrease of bodily fluids, fat, adipose tissues and lean mass leading to a reduction of your body weight. Appetite is a desire to eat and drink for pleasure. It significantly differs from hunger, because hunger is felt when your body doesn’t have enough reserves to sustain itself and therefore calls for nourishment. Appetite is often mistaken for hunger, but they are two different things with different causes. Hunger is a natural signal that your body needs nourishment and it would be unhealthy to try to fight it. Appetite, however, is mostly triggered by psychological factors and does not respond to any physical need. Indeed, stimulation of the mouth is a source of comfort and pleasure, which is why some people like to chew gum for example. It is the same reason that might explain why people like to have a cigarette in their mouths, or why they can feel hunger without actually needing to eat. This comfort and pleasure might be unconsciously sought after by the mind when experiencing a stressful situation, which is why stress and anxiety can often create the urge to eat. Our mind also often unconsciously associates two actions together, so that every time you do one of these actions your brain creates the urge to do the other at the same time. Thus you might feel the urge to eat when around friends, sitting at a table or watching TV. Weight gain is also a common side effect of many drugs. Even a small appetite problem can be seriously disabling and a potential health hazard. Not only can it make you increasingly self-conscious about your body and appearance, it may endanger your health on the long term. Excessive appetite can cause obesity, respiratory difficulties, musculoskeletal problems, high blood pressure, cholesterol and life threatening conditions such as cancer, diabetes and gallbladder disease. Having control over your appetite would allow you to easily get back in shape and get significantly healthier. You would not have to constantly worry about dieting anymore, nor about the nutritional properties of your food. You will be able to eat what you want, when you decide to. Many different drugs claiming to help control appetite or lose weight have been put on the market over the past few years. A lot of these miracle pills will at best only have a placebo effect. Others have shown better results but sometimes had to be withdrawn from the market because of their dangerous side effects. Most of these drugs have a chemical structure similar to that of amphetamines and present the same dangers. But there are also natural ways of achieving weight loss that do not have any adverse effects, such as weight loss through hypnotherapy. Most people will tell you that only diet or exercise are effective ways of losing weight. This is true to a certain extent, but it is nearly impossible for an active person to stick to a diet or find the time to exercise and it is also hard to find the necessary motivation. Moreover, neither dieting nor exercise can fight the psychological factors triggering appetite. This means they will not reduce your appetite, and that you will have to suffer from this urge to eat all the time, without being able to satisfy it. This is why weight loss hypnosis has seduced many people trying to lose weight. Weight loss through hypnosis CD's will work on a psychological level and can help you lose your appetite. But hypnotherapy weight loss CD's can also give you the willpower you need to go out and exercise. Through suggestion, weight loss hypnosis will help you find this motivation effortless! Weight loss hypnosis allows you to reduce your appetite in order to lose weight. This means it will be much easier to lose weight because weight loss through hypnosis will help you to eliminate the cravings for unnecessary nourishment. With hypnotism for weight loss, your unconscious mind will be programmed to adopt the eating behavior of a naturally thin person. In other words, weight loss hypnosis will use the power of your unconscious to alter your eating habits. Weight loss hypnosis sessions can eliminate the unconscious associations which can trigger the urge to eat, and will induce appetite reduction. Self-hypnosis weight loss, like all methods using hypnosis, will also allow you to become much more relaxed. Weight loss through hypnosis can thus quickly relieve you from any urge to eat that might be caused by anxiety. To summarize: Even though appetite is often mistaken for hunger, it does not respond to any physical need for nourishment but is strongly influenced by our emotional state. As such, weight loss hypnosis is much more effective than diets that only focus on physical factors. And unlike drugs, it is free of adverse side effects. Weight loss through hypnosis is a safe, efficient and effortless way to gain control over your appetite and lose weight.
