Weight Loss Hypnotherapy-A Different Approach To Weight LoSS
If dieting has left you frustrated, exhausted or skeptical you are not alone. Most people who follow a traditional dieting system will lose weight while on the diet, but as soon as they stop the diet the weight returns. It is estimated that 95% of people who diet experience this cycle. Most diets include some form of deprivation or denial; some involve counting calories or points but what this does is programme the mind to think about food more than it ever did before. When in denial or eating different foods than the rest of the family, three things happen: the brain fights against it, the body fights against it, and the day to day environment fights against it and the good intentions quickly lapse and its misery all over again. Karen offers weight loss hypnotherapy, including Virtual Gastric Band and the Weight Loss Jab, which is designed to address the subconscious patterns behind emotional eating, habits and self-sabotage. This approach focuses on long-term change, not restriction or willpower and when the mind is included in the weight loss process, it works!

Why The Virtual Gastric Band Worked, And Works!
Using Hypnosis for Virtual Gastric Band weight loss was described as one of the biggest things to hit Europe since the Dyson Vacuum Cleaner, it become a global phenomenon. After gaining massive public awareness of how hypnosis can be the go-to solution it allowed hypnosis practitioners to help their clients to achieve weight loss success.
· A potential client can imagine it – and the outcome for them
· Gastric band surgery is talked about a lot, so information available
· It attracts people that are ready to make a change
· It’s a full weight-loss programme - not a surgical trick
· It focuses a person around portion sizes (just like the band would)
· It eliminates cravings and snacking – reduced food noise
· Eliminates trance eating
· Builds in the motivation and “can do” for success
Hypnosis helps you to deal with head hunger. Head hunger refers to a condition in which you think you need food but your body is not actually the one demanding energy. Something else is triggering you to respond to food. Some ways to deal with head hunger:
· Take a sip of water
· Wait it out for about 10 minutes
· Exercise – walk, stretch etc
· Concentrate on deep, slow breathing
· Tell yourself the feeling will pass
· Eat a little bit of something nutritious
Your Weight Loss VGB Programme
It is important to recognise that as you through the VGB programme and the changes that are required for you to make, that for the virtual gastric band to be successful, you will at times have to be your own support person. To do so requires that you take some ownership of the process. In other words, make it “your” weight loss programme, take pride in what you are doing and each goal that you have achieved.
It is helpful for you to write down why you want to lose weight and your short and long term goals. Outline any strengths and weaknesses you might have. For example, if you have a weakness for chocolate state that you are not going to keep any chocolate in the house. Make it a practice to reward yourself when you reach a smaller goal. For example you might say, I am going to treat myself to a facial or a massage for every 1 kilo that I lose. Resetting your mind with hypnosis works better than trying to diet and helps you to focus on a healthier lifestyle.
It's very important with the virtual gastric band that you take some form of exercise for at least 30 minutes a day; it can be as simple as going for a walk. As you will be eating less than your body needs to operate, it has to make up the difference by burning reserves. If you do not exercise daily, your body will metabolise your unused muscle and you will lose muscle mass and strength. Exercise will communicate to your body that you want to use your muscles and force it to burn fat instead. So, walk, skip, hula-hoop, dance around the house, whatever it is that will make you move!
Hypnotherapy Changes Lives
Hypnotherapy is changing lives with its approach to mindset and it is now recognised by the medical profession in some countries as a powerful alternative therapy. The potential of the mind plays a big role in helping with weight loss. Hypnotherapy works by tapping into how the brain learns and in this natural state, the brain can learn and receive new suggestions, eliminating toxic thoughts and unhelpful behaviour patterns and replacing them with healthy ones.
Hundreds of clinical trials have been performed on hypnotherapy’s effect on stress, pain management, stopping smoking, anxiety, addiction, weight loss, menopause/hormonal changes and many more issues. To make a permanent physical change, you must also change your mind. With hypnosis it can disconnect the link a person may have learned earlier in life between emotions and food, or stress and food. Hypnosis can also help to stabilise and de-stress the body so that digestion functions more effectively. Mindset could be the missing ingredient in most weight-loss programmes as it helps to `prevent the yo-yo syndrome common to many. Through hypnotic suggestion you begin to naturally feel more motivated to move your body, choose smaller portion sizes and healthier options. Your mind is ultimately rewired so you naturally want what’s best for your body.
The Hypnotic Weight Loss Jab
There are several weight loss injections that are available one being Ozempic this is a drug given weekly to manage blood sugar levels for people who have type 2 Diabetes. The primary objective is to increase hormone levels of incretins. These are
a group of metabolic hormones released by the small intestine into the bloodstream within minutes after eating, which helps the body to produce more insulin. However, it also suppresses the glucose production in the liver.
A safe, natural alternative is getting the Weight Loss Jab using hypnosis. Hypnosis sessions help by getting you to let go of old beliefs around weight. Family attitudes towards food and weight, what you were told as a child about food. With hypnosis if you have a needle fear/dislike, then this can be helped with the wording that is used. As always when wanting to lose weight, it’s important to consider diet, eating right and exercising, your lifestyle. It would be a waste of time to have the weight loss jab and just continue as before.
So, using the hypnotic weight loss jab can change your mindset around weight loss, to get a successful result you must complete the full package and that is your responsibility, by doing the things that are your job and being honest about your daily habits and what needs to change. Real transformation doesn’t happen in the arm, it happens in the mind and that is why hypnosis works. The world is obsessed with quick fixes, but people crave authenticity and learning from people who walk their talk. Shortcuts very seldom work long term, for real transformation, motivation, confidence and lasting change then hypnosis is a healthy, natural alternative to jabs.
Ozempic works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone. As the hormone levels rise, the molecules go to the brain, telling it you’re full. It also slows digestion by increasing the time it takes for food to leave the body. According to research the active ingredient in Ozempic, is semaglutide which works for weight loss. Weight loss is a common side effect when using Ozempic to treat diabetes so some doctors may also prescribe it for weight loss. This is because it works on slowing the food movement through the stomach/gut, in other words it slows down your digestion and reducing your appetite. Both helps the individual to stay fuller for longer.
Ozempic is not approved for weight loss but semaglutide is approved under the name of Wegovy. When you start taking these drugs for weight loss your body may get used to it, so establishing a new normal, which can cause your weight to plateau. Research has shown that if you stop taking Ozempic (or Wegovy), it’s likely that you will gain back the weight you lost. It is designed for long term use. Wegovy is a weekly injection that was approved by the FDA in 2021 for long-term weight management containing higher levels of semaglutide which was formatted to help with weight loss.
A benefit of taking Ozempia for weight loss would be if there was a risk for other serious health conditions, such as heart problems. These treatments can also be used as an alternative to bariatric gastric band surgery for some patients who are obese. The amount of weight loss achieved with surgery is usually much greater and lasts longer than with medications. It’s very important to discuss the risks and benefits, of any weight loss treatments with your health provider, making sure that they are aware of your full medical history.
Known Side Effects From The Weight Loss Jab
Commonly known side effects are constipation/diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Serious side effects could be a change in taste & acute pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), thyroid tumours & cancer. Gallbladder stones & inflammation, hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar), nausea and some eye conditions due to diabetes could also be made worse with the use of the drug. It is also known that once you stop taking the drug the weight you have lost can go straight back on. Any concerns must be discussed with your doctor.
