Fast Effective Weight Loss

Hypnotherapy Can Help You Forget About Dieting So You Start Losing Blubber

Virtually everyone trying to lose weight will try dieting at some point. However, most dieters rarely achieve long-term success. This is because it is often difficult or impossible to commit to a diet and stay on track with a weight loss plan. However, there are several options for people who want to lose weight.

Unlike a diet, hypnotherapy for weight loss will help motivate you to naturally have a healthier diet and exercise more. Here, I will discuss some popular diet plans, the keys to weight loss, and how you can achieve weight loss through hypnosis.

The high numbers of online searches for dieting tips and online diet plans indicate that many people are interested in losing weight. Some popular diet plans are:

The Atkins diet, which is a popular low carbohydrate diet, is centered around the limited intake of “refined carbohydrate” foods such as white bread and sugar. By limiting carbohydrate intake, this diet plan is supposed to make the body switch from burning carbohydrates to burning fat for energy (a process called ketosis).

The Ornish diet is an extremely low fat, vegetarian diet, is a totally vegetarian diet, and when followed correctly, a scant 10% of total calorie intake will be from fat. The Ornish diet also requires exercise and stress-management, and has been used successfully to help reverse heart disease in many people.

The Suddenly Slim diet program involves taking diet pills and meal replacement shakes in hopes of stimulating the body’s metabolism to use up more calories. The products include many ingredients typically found in diet pills. The Suddenly Slim diet is supposed to work without more exercise or making other significant lifestyle changes, although exercise and better eating habits will improve results.

The Zone diet balances protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake, with 30% of calories coming from fat, 40% from carbohydrates, and 30% from protein. Like the Atkins diet, this diet is often categorized as “low carb.” The Zone diet pays close attention to calorie intake and physical exercise to deliver results.

The Cabbage soup diet can be found in numerous diet plans and is largely regarded as a fad diet. It consists of eating only low calorie cabbage soup for a week. Following this plan will typically lead to a few pounds of weight loss, but when you resume normal eating habits, the weight will usually come back. Additionally, continuing this unbalanced diet plan for longer than one week may lead to poor nutrition and poor health.

There are hundreds if not thousands of diet programs all promising fast results, but what many of these popular diet plans claim is not what they actually offer. They focus around meal plans that are unbalanced, unsustainable over a long-term period, or downright unhealthy. The truth is permanent weight loss is rarely achieved through a short, one-time diet session.

Successful dieters know that the keys to weight loss are not in fad diets or even diet plans, but in portion control, selecting healthy and satisfying foods, and exercising regularly. This sounds quite simple to do, but it can be hard to stay motivated to keep healthy habits and undo a lifetime of bad dietary habits.

We often lose our motivation to stay physically active and eat healthy. Hypnosis can be used to change our bad habits and lack of motivation. Hypnosis weight loss programs work by tapping into the power of your unconscious mind to motivate you to exercise and improve your physical health.

Even the best free diet plans won’t work if they aren’t followed through. Research shows that most diets fail because dieters just cannot stick to them. After years of consuming oversized portions, many of us compulsively overeat and our appetites are out of control. This is where hypnotherapy for weight loss is especially effective. Hypnosis weight loss programs are excellent at helping to control food cravings and control the appetite.

For many people, another key to weight loss is stress management. Many people eat for emotional reasons. We eat in response to our emotions, such as when we are sad or bored. This emotional attachment to food can make it all too easy to gain weight. We can use hypnotherapy to create alternative strategies for dealing with stress and to quit associating food with our emotions.

It is easy to learn hypnosis by yourself with a good self-hypnosis program. There are weight loss hypnotherapy CDs specifically developed to help you achieve your goal of permanently losing weight. With simple techniques from self hypnosis CD programs, you can quit struggling to lose weight and become naturally motivated to shed pounds.

Alan B. Densky, CH, a specialist since 1978, has developed a powerful tool known as Neuro-VISION video weight loss NLP. Everyone is different, so he offers several ways to suppress appetite and lose weight with hypnotism and NLP. Visit his Free self improvement video index.

Easy Weight Loss — 5 Steps to Lose Weight

Is it easy to lose weight? Yes. Losing weight is easy. I see it everyday. Patients of mine come into the office as happy as can be because they lost 15 pounds on the newest easy weight loss plan.

It’s easy but can you keep it off?

My patients may feel great but none of them keep the weight off. Just as quickly as they lost weight, my patients following easy weight loss plans, gain it back…fast!

Gaining weight, specifically re-gaining weight lost while dieting, should be the focus of weight loss programs. Other things, like easy weight loss, are distracting and costly for all of us. Every year thousands of obese and overweight people do not lose weight because of easy weight loss distractions.

Why are fast and easy diet plans so attractive? Well, what could be better than losing weight and looking good fast? How about lasting healthy weight loss?

Why do you think diet plans focus solely on losing weight and say very little about keeping it off? Because it’s easy to lose weight and it’s next to impossible to prevent weight re-gain.

Diet plans take the easy road and provide dieters a quick short lived solution.

From Atkins to the Zone, weight loss diets have perfected colorful ways to disguise one simple easy weight loss principle. All diets can lead to easy weight loss by following this one easy principle.

Low carbohydrate diets, low fat diets, negative calorie diets, low energy density diets–all apply this one principle. And this one principle leads to easy weight loss. Do you know what it is?

To experience easy weight loss…eat fewer calories.

Holding other things constant, like exercise, simply eat fewer calories and you will lose weight easily. Whether or not you keep the weight off depends on how easily you lost it.

The Easy Weight Loss Steps

1. Week One — Cut calories by 100

2. Week Two — Cut additional 150 calories (total=250)

3. Week Three — Cut another 150 calories (total=400)

4. Week Four — Final cut 100 calories (total=500)

First month weight loss total = 2-4 pounds
500 calories cut = 1-2 pounds/week of weight loss
End of second month weight loss total = 6-12 pounds

The chance of keeping the weight off = 5%

To accelerate weight loss and weight re-gain, just cut more calories…fast. Or you can hold off on the weight loss plan above and learn more about weight re-gain and how to prevent it. Stay tuned for Weight Re-gain Prevention.

Until then, healthy living!

Weight Loss – Before and After

Look here:

What’s Your BMI?

The body mass index, or BMI, helps clarify an important distinction between being overweight or being obese. If you weigh too much, you’re obviously overweight. But if you have a very high proportion of body fat, you’re obese. Based on your body mass index, your doctor or other health professional will classify your weight as healthy, overweight, or obese.

According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the BMI “describes body weight relative to height and is correlated with total body fat content in most adults”. In almost all cases, this means that the BMI will accurately reflect your weight and proportion of body fat as a function of your height and weight when categorizing you as healthy, overweight or obese.

Calculating your approximate body mass index is relatively straightforward, although you’ll probably need a calculator just to save time. To get your BMI, multiply your weight in pounds by 703. Next, divide that result by your height in inches. Then divide that result by your height in inches one more time.

As an example, let’s say you weigh 180 pounds and are 5 feet 10 inches tall.

Multiply 180 by 703 to get 126,540. Next, divide this by 70 (70 inches is the same as 5′ 10″) to get 1807.7. Now, divide 1807.7 by 70 one more time. The result — 25.8– is your approximate BMI or body mass index. If you don’t have a calculator handy, you can get the same result using the free interactive BMI calculator at www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmicalc.htm.

If the above example sounds you, you might be surprised to learn that you’re ever so slightly heavier than your doctor might like. A BMI from 18.5 up to 25 is considered healthy, from 25 up to 30 is classified as overweight, and 30 or higher is obese.

Generally, says the NHLBI, the higher a person’s BMI, the greater the risk for health problems. In addition to causing your BMI to skyrocket, excess body fat is a well recognized health risk. Men and women with waist lines in excess of 40 and 35 inches, respectively, are much more at risk for health problems like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Like every rule of thumb, this one also has it exception. Body builders, for example, often have a body mass index above 25 and sometimes even above 30. In this case, however, the higher BMI reflects the fact that body builders have more muscle mass without having more fat.

Finally, there’s still only one sure way to lower your BMI if you’re overweight or obese: Eat less and exercise more. Your body will burn more calories than you eat and your body mass index will go down over time.
