Everybody has that one food weakness they just can't seem to quit. Maybe it's buttery popcorn, salty chips, or maybe it's a sweet like soda, chocolate, or ice cream. Whatever your food vice is, chances are that it's one major factor that is holding you back from your ultimate weight loss goals. The good news is though, that the food you choose is probably not be the main issue. It's how you approach food that's the problem. While treats should certainly not be a part of your everyday eating plan, you can still eat the foods you enjoy, while losing weight. You just need to do so mindfully.
That is where hypnosis-or, more specifically, clinical hypnotherapy-comes in. With hypnosis, you learn to retrain your mind, to gain a different perspective on the foods you eat. When you can change your attitude towards food, you stand a better chance of finally kick your addiction to mindless snacking., so that you can get healthy for the long term.
Train Yourself To Enforce The Barrier Effect
When most of us reach for our favorite snacks, we do so in ways that set us up to overindulge. We grab the party-sized back of chips, the full pint of ice cream (and a spoon,) or whatever food item we're craving, and simply dive in. The problem with this is that there is no caloric accountability when you eat this way. And this lack of portion control- or lack of barrier- is a huge part of the problem when it comes to eating healthy. In fact, scientists have proven that when we eat straight from the source, we consume 40% than if we portion out our food.
So to avoid this mindless eating, it's important to portion out your food. Through hypnosis, you can retrain your mind so that when you are going to plate up your food, whether it's at meal time or snack time, you will always give yourself a barrier, or a stopping point. With portion control in place, you force yourself to decide-consciously and deliberately- if you actually want another bag or bowl worth.
Train Yourself To Stop Once The Food No Longer Tastes As Good As It Initially Did
With hypnosis, you can learn how to listen to your body so you know when you've had enough to feel satisfied without overeating. One way to do this is to train your mind to stop when your food no longer tastes as great as it did on the very first bite.
For instance, when you've had ice cream for the first time in a long while, it's a very satisfying experience. It's sweet, and cold, and your serotonin is running, and it feels great! But, this feeling will start to wear off fairly quickly. When you've trained your brain with hypnosis for weight loss, you'll notice that you don't necessarily need to reach the bottom of the bowl before your craving has been satiated.
These tricks are deceptively simple but are highly effective ways to avoid the temptation to eat mindlessly so that you lose the weight and keep it off.
