To begin here is a typical nine-step weight loss hypnosis program used by most clinicians.

The nine-step program for weight reduction is as follows:
Step 1: Devote the initial session of self hypnosis to making a definite decision about your weight challenge. Note: There must never be any doubt in your mind that you can lose the weight desired.
Step 2: Give yourself the post hypnotic suggestion that the best way to start is to schedule a complete physical examination by your physician.
Step 3: Explore your reasons for wanting to reduce weight.
Step 4: Establish your motivation for wanting to lose weight.
Step 5: Analyze your eating habits.
Step 6: Determine the reason you overeat, or indulge in the wrong foods, including nibbling between meals.
Step 7: To eat properly, educate yourself about food. (I hate the word diet.)
Step 8: Plan what you will eat daily. Weigh yourself daily keeping weekly progress records.
Step 9: Repeat daily that you are becoming your ideal weight, that you have now developed new eating habits, sensible ones, and that you are no longer susceptible to temptation, “that your mind is in command at all times”.

Dave Elman's view on Excessive Weight and its loss are also quite interesting, and i have personally found to be quite valid.
Elman’s view of using hypnosis for weight loss is similar to that of stuttering or any neurosis. He recommends hypnotically regressing the patient back to the point in her life that triggered the need for food. I agree with Elman’s view that overeating has much to do with insecurity, and everything to do with a need for comfort. Again, similar to his view of stuttering, Elman suggests that there are often much more than one experience affecting the present state.

As to whether I agree with Elman’s views or not, I think his work is worth considering and would prove beneficial for some, but that he is lacking a few important points which I will bring up. Elman does touch on the concept of a mother feeding a child, but I don’t think its relevance was stressed enough. When a parent has a child there is a new learning occurring for both mother and child and a difficult one at that because of a lack of understanding due to incompatible communication abilities. All too often, the instant the baby cries, the mother gives the infant her breast. The child could possibly be hungry, but it could also just want attention, comforting, a diaper change, or could simply be ill, yet with each incident the baby is fed and begins to associate every need with that of food. This in turn causes many to turn to having something stuffed in their mouth with every uncomfortable incident in life. Sound like anyone you know.

Elman continues that after successful hypnoanalysis, that weight loss is successful under a physician’s diet. This I completely disagree with, because although a doctor might have an idea about healthy eating, they are not nutritionists, and secondly, people will only follow a diet for so long, then it’s back to the same old thing. People must learn the basics about healthy eating on their own, and the proper amounts of food intake for their own system, and life style.

Thirdly, Elman mentions nothing about exercise, and this is the main aspect for a healthy fit body.

My own Personalized Weight Loss, and Maintenance Program.
I began a training cycle in the early eighties approximately 18 years ago. I practiced body building and then took up the martial arts, primarily Muay Thai. I have analyzed, applied, studied the effects of, adjusted, and combined many different eating, and exercise habits to learn their short and long-term effects.
Because of my studies and everlasting interest in the area of physical health, I am considered an expert in this area by my peers, and due to the visible effects present within my own person, I have become known as “Tarzan” in many circles.

I would first like to point out that “diets” do not work. The word “diet” suggests losing something. When we lose something our own inner child sets out to re-find it, and that child is usually quite successful. The other reason diets don’t work, especially “crash diets”, is that our bodies shut down (they crash), and will store what little food is provided during, and after the diet has ended. This in turn causes one to regain and generally double up on the weight initially lost, kind of a self-preservation/survival mechanism controlled by the subconscious.

It is imperative to understand a few concepts about losing weight in order to keep the fat where it belongs, “on creatures that require it, to survive out in the jungle”.

The program I implement on myself and those that desire to replace excess fat with lean, healthy, strong self-respecting frames incorporates a proper mind set, exercise and healthy eating habits.

1) It is assumed that the subject has the desire to lose weight and get healthier. Here the subject states clearly, and positively to themselves what they want, and they decide that they will achieve it with persistence. Self hypnosis is great for driving this point home and into the subconscious.

2) Determine where you are now. This is done with a visit to your physician, explaining to him your desired goal, and asking if there are any suggestions due to your own possible health implications.

Taking a full length picture of oneself at present should also be done as a push mechanism from where you are, and to have a comparison later.

There are two major items of importance with health. One is whether you like the way you look in the mirror and second, how you feel. Are you energetic enough to do what you wish, and do you feel strong enough?

3) Establish your motivation for the results desired, and how you will know when you have achieved the set goal. What will you see, how will you feel, and what might you hear once the goal is reached.

4) Begin an exercise program. Depending on the person’s present point of health, this could begin with simple brisk walks or swimming, leading towards heavy weight training and or long distance running, or any form of physically exerting activity.

The important point to the exercise program is to strengthen and increase muscle content and or density. Tests have shown that a muscular body burns more calories while asleep than a fat body in movement. And burning calories is a major factor in reducing fat.

The exercises should encompass the entire body for overall muscle development due to the fact that there is no such thing as “spot reduction”, except with hypnotic techniques.

The fastest way to grow and strengthen muscle is with slow, controlled repetitions. Studies have found that a count of one to ten on a contraction, and then a count of five to one on the release provides for best results. This also reduces the need and ability to do excessive repetitions, preventing the possibility of pulling something or causing some form of repetitive musculo-skeletal disorder. The program should be implemented at least every second day.

5) Adjustment of eating habits. First split your meals up into smaller portions to a frequency of five times a day.

One major factor in fat loss or storage is insulin. Insulin is produced by the pancreas, and its functions is to drive fat and sugar through your bloodstream and into the fat storage cells. It is also the most powerful profat hormone and the primary promoter of “fat preservation”. Large meals cause the production of large doses of insulin to be dumped into the system promoting fat storage. Small mini-meals cause small production of insulin promoting easy digestion, and faster burning of calories.

6) Super-hydration of ice water. This consists of sipping a gallon of ice water throughout the day. The principle is based on a few factors.
a) Water flushes the system.
b) Water promotes digestion, and
c) Water has zero calories.
d) Ice water has the effect of causing the body to constantly work, to reheat the body. Work means a transfer of energy to heat, causing the constant burning of calories. In effect, one is putting into the body a substance of zero calories (water) and causing the burning of calories approximately 8 calories per glass of ice water. Nice formula: zero calories in = 8 calories out.
e) As the body ages, it dries out. Dehydration causes headaches, eye irritation, back pains, and body numbness. Water combats all this and helps promote healthy, young looking skin, and improves overall health.

7) Education. Set a little time aside each week to learn about nutrition from foods and vitamins.

8) Rest. The body and mind need rest. Too much work on the body (exercise) causes muscle atrophy and undeserved stress on the system. Adequate sleep is necessary for muscle recuperation and subconscious mind processing to evaluate and work on things.

9) Repeat daily that you are achieving your desired weight and form. Think positively, and in your self-induced hypnotic state provide positive affirmations.

In summary of all that has been stated, when dealing with obesity, a patient’s desired results are often difficult to achieve, but these needs are best met with the use of hypnotherapeutic measures due to the ability of reorganizing one’s thought patterns as elaborated upon above.

The many uses of hypnosis allow a person to reorganize old thinking patterns, as well as develop strong motivational factors. Triggers, or anchors that have at one time directed a person towards food can be altered towards healthier measures of fulfilling the need desired, weight loss.

It has been my experience that the successful treatment of obesity with hypnosis works wonderfully for short-term gains, but long term maintenance requires periodic re-evaluation along with new learnings, and a willingness upon the patient to practice the use of self hypnosis to maintain strong motivational goals in order to continue achieving or maintaining one’s desired results of weight loss, maintenance, and control... it is for this reason that I have put together the Supreme Weight Loss and Maintenance Power Pack which you can have a quick look at here below, or visit our Supreme Weight Loss page and learn even more about weight loss and this special plan.
