17 per cent of weight loss bounced back after 2.7 years

Dec 13th, 2009 by admin

According to the Centre for Nutritional Studies at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, on average, dieters are likely to regain 17 per cent of their weight loss after 2.7 years.   The study investigates 602 individuals who have taken the weight loss program organized by the Centre one to five years before the survey. It was found that the percentage of weight bounced back increases with the time lapsed after taken the program. For those who have taken the program one year before, the percentage is 18 per cent. But if it is five years before, the percentage increases to 61 per cent. Of 602 cases under studies, only 12 per cent did not have their weight rebounded, 49 per cent regained 1 to 25 per cent of their original weight loss while 39 per cent with weight rebounded 26 per cent or more which is beyond the acceptable range.  For those with weight rebounded within the acceptable range (i.e. 25 per cent or less of their original weight loss), the study found that:   In addition, they did not eat dinner late and they had not switched their job nature during the period. More noticeably, they did not lose weight too quickly. Only 2% had their weight regained within the acceptable range had they lost eight pounds or more in a month. A healthy weight loss should be one pound per week. On the other hand, of those with ‘rebound weight’ more than 50 per cent of their lost weight, less than 30 per cent of them followed the food quota, kept the daily record of their food intake or kept on doing exercise. And more than 80 per cent of them did not seek professional support from time to time. In fact, shedding fat is the easier part of the battle against obesity, avoiding ‘rebound weight’ is the most difficult part. This requires persistent healthy eating habits such as eating wholesome foods as well as taking a good amount of moderate exercise regularly. Persistent healthy eating habits require the will of mind. This is where hypnosis comes in for help “The most powerful tool available for sustainable weight loss is from our subconscious mind,” says Frank Y.S., the founder of http://www.LossWeightEbook.com and the author of an eBook “Learn Hypnosis for Weight Loss in One Day”. Under the hypnotic state, the suggestions go directly to our subconscious mind. As our subconscious mind is more powerful than our conscious mind, if the suggestions related to our eating habits go straightly to our subconscious level, the change would take place more effectively and permanently. In addition, we have to be congruent about the outcome we want and having the belief that it is possible for us to make the change. “Our belief strongly influences our behavior,” Frank adds. We need to have a belief that we can actually do something before we are likely to succeed. In this regard, hypnosis can help remove any deeply rooted belief that limits our success in losing weight permanently.

‘Mind over Matter’ Weight Loss

Dec 7th, 2009 by admin

Never before have we had such a range of options available for weight loss – it can be downright confusing! What’s more, many of us have tried many of the options out there – often more than once. There comes a time when you may need to stop looking for ‘quick fixes’ and just accept that if you are going to lose weight, it will be up to you and no one else. It’s simple ‘mind over matter’. Consider a parallel – another problem that many people struggle with – quitting smoking. There are all types of programs to help you quite smoking. There’s nicotine gum, and the patch, and counseling, and hypnotherapy. But for many people who have successfully quit, what it all comes down to is just making up your mind to do it – quitting cold turkey, as it were. Of course, weight issues are a little more complex because you can’t just ‘quit’ eating! But essentially, it’s the same issue. We each have control over what we put into our mouths, even if it feels out of control at times. We all have choices. Also, in this day and age, we all have a pretty good idea of which foods are causing us to gain weight. We all know what a healthy diet looks like, and we all know that exercise helps a lot, too. The trick is to start acting on all of these things that we already ‘know’! It’s simple mind over matter, really. The ‘matter’ is that the food is there, and we want to eat it. The ‘mind’ means having self control. If you know you shouldn’t eat it, then don’t. It really is as simple – and as hard – as that. Most weight problems, when you come right down to it, are behavioral issues. That means that there is seldom any medical reason for gaining weight and keeping it on (though there may, of course, be exceptions to this. Some people do have legitimate medical conditions that make it more difficult for them to lose weight.) For most of us, though, it’s because of bad habits. We all know what they are. We know that eating at night is bad, for example, because there’s no opportunity to work off those calories – but we do it anyway. Everyone knows that snack foods and candy don’t do you any favors, but the impulse to snack on them may seem overwhelming. Start by taking stock – make a list of all the unhealthy eating habits you plan to eliminate. Be firm, yet realistic. If you find it difficult to assess your eating habits by yourself, you can enlist some help, of course – ask your doctor to refer you to a nutritionist or dietician to go over your eating habits in detail, or join a personalized weight loss program where the same type of service is provided. Once you have a clear idea of which foods need to be eliminated and how you can improve the quality of your meals, just start doing it. Don’t wait until next week, or until after the holidays – just start. Be determined and single minded. Keep in mind that this lifestyle change may end up saving your life, or at least improving your quality of life in a big way. You are doing it for yourself, and for everyone in your life who would like to see you healthy and happy.
Here’s another hint – if you slip up and make a mistake, don’t let it stop you. Start again, with the very next meal. Your whole plan will not be ruined because of one or two mistakes, but if you use those mistakes as an excuse to abandon the plan altogether, that’s a totally different story. Here’s the last step – even after you have achieved your weight loss goal, make those changes permanent. All too many of us become ‘yo-yo dieters’ – we diet successfully, then gain everything back, then have to diet again. Over time, this can put more strain on your body than if you had never lost the weight in the first place! So make sure that you come up with an eating plan you can live with, and be prepared to live with it for the rest of your life. That doesn’t mean you can never enjoy your favorite dessert again – but it does mean that, the morning after, you get back to healthy eating. search engine optimization company

Losing Weight Has Never Been Easier When You Use Hypnosis

Nov 13th, 2009 by admin

Losing weight with hypnosis is easy with the reinforcement of a cd used daily for about a month and proven to be the most successful permanent weight loss. Hypnosis has been proven to be one of the best, easiest and absolutely the healthiest and safest while the most relaxing and least expensive ways to lose weight permanently while you feel happier and healthier. When you understand hypnosis and know what to expect, you’ll be successful in losing all the weight you want and need to lose, even if you don’t believe it will work, it will work anyway. Hypnosis works if you want it to work. Anyone can be hypnotized if they want to be. You will lose weight if you do desire to lose weight. The only thing that can keep you from being hypnotized is you, yourself. I often have people say to me, “I don’t think I can be hypnotized.” They are usually my best clients. They are usually people that have some big misconceptions about hypnosis and may have tried it but nothing magically happened so they gave up. They really wanted it to work but just didn’t really understand, how to make it work.To be a good subject, you must understand some basic facts about hypnosis. When you are hypnotized by someone with expertise, you will simply sit back and relax, close your eyes and listen to the hypnotherapist’s voice to guide you. You can’t do anything wrong, nothing can go wrong. There are no dangers in this type of hypnosis. All hypnosis is self hypnosis. You are always in control. You will never do or say anything against your will, desires, beliefs or morals, regardless of what some people think. It is like a mind exercise or mind game. You do not lose control of your mind. You are always in control. You do not lose your hearing or any of your senses. Your senses actually become keener and you become more aware, not less. You will always hear me whether you think you do or not. It’s up to you and only you to make it work because all the work is in your mind. You don’t have to say anything or do anything. The hypnotherapist is using their expertise to guide you in your mind, giving you directions but you don’t have to follow them if you’re not comfortable with any part of it. There isn’t ANY feeling of being hypnotized. You will not feel hypnotized. The only feeling you will have in this kind of hypnosis is slighly relaxed to very, very relaxed but you will not be asleep. Some feel only slightly relaxed and listen to every word and remember it all while others become so very relaxed, they snore but no one will go to sleep unless you’re home in bed for the night and you’re tired anyway when you turn on your CD. It may feel like sleep sometimes but it is not sleep. All the work is in your mind so you do have to participate and to participate, you think about what the hypnotherapist is saying. It is simply a guided meditation and incredibly powerful.With Hypnosis, you WILL reach your desired weight & figure. You will lose all the weight you want and need to lose, without the stress and mental battles of cravings, urges, over eating, stuffing yourself as you do when dieting. It is not a diet so you will not put the weight back on! You simply don’t feel as hungry, while you’ll crave the more nutritious, lower calorie, healthier foods. You will not desire the rich, fattening, greasy, high calorie, sweets, junk food and foods that are not good for you. You will not snack or eat between meals or late at night. You will eat what your body needs and when you are satisfied, you are completely satisfied. You will not lose weight so fast it could harm your health. You will focus on your desired shape and size and reach that desired size easily and without stress and maintain that size for as long as you want. You will desire to drink more water and be satisfied from one meal to the next. You’ll lose weight without trying! Your eating habits can change drastically, immediately or it may be gradually over time.Some people can be hypnotized one time and their eating habits change forever and others need that reinforcement of being hypnotized by having a cd to listen to daily. I know many people that have lost their unwanted weight using hypnosis when they were unsuccessful in everything else they tried, including diets, pills and surgeries. I too, was one of these people. I struggled with diets for so many years trying to lose weight and keep it off but as soon as I went off the diet, the weight came back on and then some. The mental anguish of my weight going up and down and never knowing what size I’d be wearing next month kept me in somewhat of a state of frustration over my weight. Go figure, when it I’m pigging out on potato chips, Pepsi and M&M’s for breakfast most mornings. I was hypnotized about 18 years ago and have not been on any kind of diet since. I have not drank a single soda or care for chocolate at all. I still have a hard time comprehending what a chocoholic I once was. I eat whatever I want now and never worry about my size or weight. I do have a desire for good, healthy, nutritious foods, especially vegetables (which I never cared for before). I’m a 5 ft 4 in, 53 yr old woman, about 120 lbs and I say about 120 lbs because I don’t know what I really weigh because I don’t own a scale or would want one. I only focus on my desired shape and size and I maintain it. You can reach your desired weight and figure with hypnosis if you want to.You use your sub-conscious mind, now more commonly known as the higher self, higher consciousness or super-consciousness. It never rests anymore than the heart does. This is where all the power lies. You will learn to harness that power within with practice of this guided meditation and that is all it is, a guided meditation and it is incredibly powerful. As a reinforcement to your hypnosis, it is best to listen to your hypnosis on a cd or ipod for 21 to 28 days. Some experts say you need to listen to the hypnosis cd for 21 days to change your habits for a lifetime while others say it takes 28 days. Nevertheless, 21 or 28, most people continue to listen to their cd for many reasons as there are so many advantages to continue listening to your cd whether it is for weight loss or other. When you are hypnotized, it is a mind exercise and you will soon find your memory improves. Your stress level will go down; you’ll sleep better and feel happier and healthier all the time. You will feel a new and vital energy that flows through your body and mind each day you awaken from a good night’s rest with a more positive attitude. You will be more motivated than ever to exercise, to take the time to be active each day. Well, in my hypnosis anyway, you will benefit all of these things, while losing weight. Good hypnotherapy will always leave you feeling good, no matter what you’re hypnotized for.
