The modern world offers many methods for people to effectively lose weight. Losing weight through hypnosis has gained popularity in recent years.

However, people have a number of misconceptions about hypnotism. This method does not include the use of any drugs, which leads people to think that it is a safe way to lose weight. Hypnosis can be dangerous if done by amateurs or people who lack the proper qualifications to practice it.

The French hypnotherapist doctor Jean Marc Benhaiem reveals in “Le Journal Sante” a few hypnosis secrets which give hope to overweight people. According to him, hypnosis can contribute in modifying the eating behavior of these persons.

If a person can consider sweets a reward for a good result, he / she could also, through hypnosis, view sweets as a powerful enemy for a healthy living. So the perception that one has on sweets can be changed. In the same way, vegetables can be perceived not only as a “sad” food. Gradually, the person undergoing a hypnosis treatment can be couched into thinking that overeating is bad and that a new lifestyle is required in order to achieve the goal of losing weight.


THE EATING BEHAVIOR


Gaining a normal weight with the help of hypnosis can be done by everyone. But, according to Doctor Jean Marc Benhaiem, not so many obese people are ready to give up the pleasure of eating and to undertake this huge step towards adopting a healthy and balanced eating style.

Doctor’s Benhaiem method begins with two hypnosis sessions of adaptation, and then it continues with small group therapy, of only 2 to 4 persons. Group therapy involves an opinion exchange regarding the subjects’ eating habits.

Doctor Benhaiem does not conceal the fact that the modification of the eating behavior can be very difficult and that often the succeed rate of the hypnosis treatment is higher in quitting smoking than in losing weight. This is a reason why the specialist thinks that on the candy packs should be written “Obesity risk!” Anyway, he states that the success rate of the hypnosis used for medical reasons is higher than 50%. Weight loss hypnosis advantages the persons in which the Body Mass Index does not indicate morbid obesity. The faster one does something, the higher the chances to succeed are.

Doctor Jean Marc Benhaiem claims that medical hypnosis is effective in changing a person’s eating behavior, but the strong will to lose weight and to change the view upon eating are essential. Hypnosis cannot do miracles as long as the one and only huge pleasure in someone’s life is eating.
