People all over Europe have been saying for years that Virtual Gastric Banding really works to lose weight, and to keep it off. Yesterday, Dr. Oz put that same idea in the minds of millions of Americans. For most of us it is hard to wrap our brain around anything that we don’t understand. So let me explain how hypnosis can help virtually anyone lose weight.
Suggestion and visualization are two of several hypnotic techniques that can be used by a qualified Hypnotherapist to recreate the physical benefits of Gastric Banding without all the potential side effects. The person feels as though they have really been through the actual surgical procedure, and the reduction in weight is often quite profound.
The follow up sessions may also include hypnotic adjustments to the band in order to slow down or enhance the weight loss depending on the progress. As an individual continues to lose weight they begin to permanently adjust their thinking about food, and continue to adjust their belt buckle!
