Have you had it with dieting? Do you lose two pounds and gain back five? Do you get your hopes up whenever a new “miracle” diet arrives on the scene, only to find out that you still cannot beat your cravings?

What you need is a diet that lets you lose weight by sitting and watching the television. Think it’s a fantasy? Go on and keep reading.

You have probably read and probably heard the data: We as a society are getting fatter than ever before. From young to old, the stats tell the tale: Obesity is epidemic. Why?

There are many explanations, but here is one explanation that I don’t think you have heard: We have been programmed, hypnotized–if you will–to pay for and consume more and larger portions of everything, especially junk food, sugary soft drinks and fast food.

How did this come about? What could possibly have such a powerful, insidious outcome on so many millions of people? The answer is sitting in your living room. It is your TV.

Yes, advertisers have slowly and knowlingly hypnotized you. They market their empty calories using the most potent and effective advertising medium ever invented: TV commercials.

Commercials are carefully crafted to entice and motivate. They can literally make your mouth water as you watch a sizzling steak being delivered to a table or a delectable candy bar being devoured by an overly happy, and physically fit actor.

What is happening to you during these commercials? You are being hypnotized! Your mind is being programmed to want…even NEED…a candy bar of your own, right NOW!

The commercial is zoomed in on the candy bar so it dominates the entire screen. You see practically every grain of processed sugar, they get so close!

And guess what? You are probably salivating right now, at this very moment, just from this description? Your mind has conjured up images that were memorized deep in your unconscious from when you watched TV commercials long ago. Can you see how potent the video images on TV can be? Yes, they can control even your physical reactions!

If you are familiar with hypnosis, then you know that it is the alpha level of consciousness. You pass through this daydream like state as you fall asleep at night. And you pass through it again as you wake up in the morning. Research has demonstrated that if you watch much TV, you are in this alpha state for two-thirds of your viewing time. What can you do to overcome this programming?

First, of course, you could stop watching TV commercials. But what about the programming that advertisers have already embedded in your subconscious? How do you eliminate it and reprogram your thoughts? Video hypnosis made you put weight on, and video weight loss hypnosis will present the solution to your problem.

If you have read this far and you still think that I am jesting, I promise you that I am not kidding! Video lose weight hypnosis is for real and a United States Patent was granted on the methodology! Here is a semi-technical explanation of why and how it works:

The average person feels oral cravings and oral urges for two main reasons: A. When people feel tense, they feel compelled to put something into their mouths because it provides relaxation and pleasure.

B. When a man pairs eating with any other behavior, the other behavior will trigger cravings and a compulsion to eat.

Let us talk about Part “B” first. Over seventy percent of our population learns much more quickly and easily based on what they see, rather then by what they hear. Think about it for a moment: If you feel an urge to eat or smoke as you watch TV, it is because your unconscious recorded the video image of either a cigarette in your hand, or food in your hand, and then associated that image, with the image of the TV. From that point on, every time that you watch TV, your subconscious flashes the mental image of the cigarette or food in your hand, and you get cravings and urges.

So you have actually “programmed” your unconscious to make you feel cravings and urges as a “conditioned response” to watching TV. The same thing happens when you eat when you watch a movie, or when you talk on the phone, etc.

Video weight loss hypnosis will snuff out the conditioned responses. It will retrain your subconscious mind to have the TV (or whatever) trigger unconscious images of you watching the TV without eating.

When the video weight loss hypnosis makes you lose your unconscious image of food, you lose your appetite. When you see yourself in a behavior, you get a compulsion to generate that behavior. So with video lose weight hypnosis, you will actually get a compulsion to reject food when you watch TV.

But what about Part “A”? Our feelings of tension are created by our thoughts. If you think upsetting thoughts, you experience tension and upset. If you think happy thoughts, you feel happy and relaxed.

If you think an unpleasant thought while you are doing work on your computer, your mind can associate that thought with the computer. And thereafter, when you sit down at your computer, you have a conditioned response, your mind flashes to that upsetting thought and you feel tense.

The methodologies used in video weight loss hypnosis are based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This technology works based on the utilization of a person’s existing thought processes instead of post-hypnotic suggestion. With NLP, we use the thought processes that are creating your problems, to eliminate your problems.

Video lose weight hypnosis can program your subconscious to use upsetting thoughts as a trigger for joyful thoughts. So if you start to think of something that is upsetting, your unconscious will automatically change to a joyful thought in a millisecond. You become relaxed, so there are no feelings of tension to cause you to feel oral urges and cravings. And when you lose your appetite to overeat, it is easy to lose weight and keep it off permanently. Medical research has proven that all of the popular diets work well. But it has also proven that most people fail with those diets because they cannot stick to them because their appetite is out of control!

How many inner dialogs have you had with yourself about your smoking compulsion? How many times have you complained to family and friends that you want to end the habit but seem to go on smoking despite the health risks and the expense? And how many programs have you tried that just failed? If you are like most people struggling with smoking, you will remember such inner dramas and may have felt nothing will really work for you. Unless you tried NLP and hypnosis to quit smoking, you may have been on target.

If you fervently want to quit smoking, hypnotherapy is the rational choice for reliable results. Hypnotherapy to quit smoking can address the most significant issues that keep you smoking as well as equipping you with resources and boost to be successful once and for all. This is not a mere parlor trick, but a real medical therapy approved by the AMA since 1958, and one with accreditation and a strong code of ethics.

Hypnotherapy doesn’t change your moral values and a reliable hypnotist will honor your privacy and protect your rights identical to any other medical professional. You do need a practitioner who is verified by the National Guild of Hypnotists and who adheres to their stringent code of ethics and professional conduct. Included in their code is making the mental and physical welfare of all clients foremost. They also defend clients from verbal, mental or physical, and make outside referrals as needed.

A well trained practitioner has the skills to address problem behavior, and quit smoking hypnotherapy is the second most regular type they practice. Using methods that are considered state of the art which may include the precision of NLP hypnosis and the ongoing enhancement of self hypnosis stop smoking CD’s as well as any medical modalities a doctor might also suggest for a patient. Using medical hypnotherapy does not mean other measures are excluded, but they may not be at all necessary.

The reason that skillfully used smoke cessation hypnotherapy is the most effective method to reach success is that it addresses the three basic factors in smoking. No method can truly work that does not address each issue fully and correct the problems each causes. Most people feel that the physical addiction to nicotine is the most important aspect and the biggest problem, but this is simply not true. If the addiction to the substance called nicotine were the only reason for failure, most smokers would not fail so many times in their efforts to end smoking for good.

Yes, nicotine is a horribly addictive substance and for most smokers the physical dependence is very real and there are withdrawal sensations that are also real. But did you realize these last only a very few days? In fact, every bit of nicotine is metabolized out of the system in just three days or less! For many smokers, it is the fear of withdrawal discomforts and not the reality that causes the most dread and which may prevent even attempting to quit. Yet quitting without training has an average five percent success rate! Stop smoking hypnotherapy reduces fear of withdrawal problems and greatly reduces the effect of any that do happen.

Another characteristic of smoking cigarettes is that it provides comfort and calming, just as using a pacifier calms and soothes an infant. Many people treat anxiety and stress with some form of oral activity like smoking cigarettes or eating. Hypnotic relaxation can replace the comfort factor obtained from smoking cigarettes, which reduces the insistent urges and produces the benefits of quitting instead. The mind can be trained to substitute the same feelings from other activities that are beneficial, not harmful. NLP techniques can train the brain to remove any linkage between smoking cigarettes and comfort.

In conclusion, part of the smoking bondage is plain old Pavlovian habit formation to stimuli. Smokers learn to connect smoking with certain activities, from the movie cliche of smoking immediately after physical relations to automatically lighting a cigarette while having a beer or cocktail or watching television or chatting on the phone. Here quit smoking hypnotherapy can permanently remove the connection, and when the link is no longer there, there will be no trigger to have a smoke when the coffee is poured or the cocktail is served. The mind is conditioned to associate positive things with the former triggers, or to recall the helpful effects of quitting or the created by having the tobacco.

A highly qualified clinical practitioner will use both negative and positive associations to replace conditioned associations with smoking, selecting those most powerful for an individual smoker who wants to quit. Stop smoking hypnosis is the only treatment modality that can precision tune the treatment to each of the three factors in smoking and root them out. Everyone quitting requires support, but only smoking cessation programs using hypnotherapy effectively make you your own instant and always available support system.
