With so much publicity now abounding around gastric band surgery on the NHS for the morbidly obese, it might be a good time for some of those at risk of type 2 diabetes to consider less risky alternatives,after all baratric surgery carries with it huge risks and “should only be considered as a last resort if serious attempts to lose weight have been unsuccessful” Simon O’Neill Director of Health Intelligence at leading charity Diabetes UK.
This is where hypnotherapy for weight loss and hypno gastric band treatment could be a safer, cheaper and potentially more effective option for many people. These two treatments can be used separately or jointly as part of a planned treatment programmed tailored to each indivduals needs, combine the both with CBT and you have a most dynamic weight loss system which can be highly successful. As with everything in life there are no guarantees but one would have thought it would be worth a serious try before signing up for drastic sugery.
Many of those who are over weight have tried numerous times to lose that weight and on occassion they do succeed by dieting but most people who diet end up putting not only the amount of weight they have lost back on but sadly they often end up weighing even more. Diets alone do not work for many people long term and will power is often not enough. There are a myriad of reasons why some people over eat and many of them are emotional and not amenable to rational thought, emotional eating can be notoriously difficult to change.
Your mind is a most powerful organ and by utilising it and all its potential from both the conscious mind and the subconscious mind to obtain your desired weight can be extremely effective. For this method to work you must be willing for it to and as with everything you need to really want the changes. Using either hypnotherapy for weight loss alone or combine that with the CBT and the hypno gastric band you can retrain your mind and begin losing weight from day one. This is no miracle cure and you may find that once you have acieved your desired weight that from time to time you need a top up session, then again you may not, this is still far preferable to years of yo yo dieting and has to be a far better option than gastric surgery.

The Best ‘How To’ Sex Book I’ve ever come across.
28 April 2013 By Jonathan Amaz Format: Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book has a lot of great information. I thought it might be a bit ‘heavy’ as it’s written by a psychotherapist… in fact quite the contrary. It’s succinct and easy to read. I sent it originally to my partner for fun, after reading it though I realised there were a couple of useful things which I was unaware of. Looking forward to putting them to practice. Highly recommended reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tells it like it is.
14 May 2013 By Karen G. Harrill – Published on Amazon.com Format: Kindle Edition.
Lots of information and advice packed into this book. It explains from the male and female; first-timers to experienced; and includes a chapter for the change of life where what was working goes crazy and so does the loving couple dealing with hormones AGAIN, and no kid at the end of the troubles. Matter of fact, the kids are moving out at the same time. Seriously, there is information in here that could be useful to anyone old enough to be in a physical and emotional relationship (you have to want to improve things…and a good deal of that requires talking!) or wants to expand the boundaries a bit more. Above all, be willing to laugh with each other, give lots of hugs, kisses and remember RICE rest, ice, compression, elevation…for sprains, strains, bruises, rug burn and assorted bumps. Otherwise fluids and cuddling along with rest are all you need
Diets don’t work, well actually that is not 100% true, they can work for a limited period of time but for most people the sad truth is that after they finish the diet they not only gain the weight they originally lost but end up weighing even more than they did before they started the diet. Amazingly only 1% of people who diet lose weight (Datamonitor 2007). Many people who diet are dieters for most of their adult lives, with their weight see sawing between diets and un beknown to the majority of dieters is that repeated dieting has been linked to heart disease, to strokes and to adversley affecting your immune system. Time to give your body and mind a break I think and ditch the diet. Did you know that people who are happy with their weight and slim don’t actually try they just think differently and the good news is that thinking in this way is easy, anyone can do it. Reprogramming your mind via hypnotherapy combined with CBT and Mindfulness achieves outstanding results which leave you feeling empowered and in control.
In this blog I am going to get you started with a few easy to implement tips, they do not involve depriving yourself or starvation or following an expensive regime. After all eating is one of lifes great pleasure and denying yourself one of the greatest pleasures known to man seems counter productive, not only that but depriving yourself leads to feelings of misery and martyrdom….. not most peoples idea of fun at all, certainly not mine.
One significant difference between those that are over weight and those that are not is that those who slimmer tend to only eat when they are hungry and to stop eating when they are satisfied or full…. although I think full is too late personally, at that point yoiu have over eaten, so let’s aim for a feeling of satisfaction instead. Along with this I want you next time you go to eat a snack is to ask yourself if you are actually hungry…..if you are not then what is driving you to eat ? are you bored, depressed, anxious, lonely, irritable,sad,angry ? ask yourself what is going on with you ? instead of depriving yourself and berating yourself for wanting to eat just check it out first …..try to identify the emotion that is driving you. Don’t worry if you can not at this stage recognise the feeling but may be have a glass of water instead and give your self a break of say 30 minutes. If you still want your snack after 30 minutes then fine go ahead, after all you are all grown up and you can choose to eat something when you are not hungry or you can choose not too.
When you eat your snack it is very important that you place all your attention on it-being mindful- do not eat whilst engaged in another activity like watching the tv or sitting at your computer for there is no enjoyment in this. Place all your attention on what you are eating, savouring every bite, focus your mind on your snack to the exclusion of everything else and when you are satisfied simply stop eating, as you really can not take another bite. Thye same principle applies to when you eat your meals, put all your attention on what youare eating, do not eat infront of the tv, concentrate instead on enjoying your food, talk with your family if you are eating together but if you are alone focus on savouring every mouthful, try to put your knife and fork down between every other bite and this way by eating more slowly, you will enjoy your food and you will simply stop eating when you recognise that you are satisfied even if this means
