Ok, so you have had enough, but the problem is you just can’t stop!  The days roll by and you buy a pack and then another.  Your behaviour is compulsive.  You really can’t control it.

So to stop smoking you must take control.  Take control away from cigarettes and nicotine. You are very good at controlling other aspects of your life, but you need some help with this one.

One session of “Stop-Smoking” hypnotherapy will enable you to win control back. Hypnotherapy is the most successful way of helping people to stop smoking fast!  We use the most successful method.  It has helped thousands of smokers to stop in just one session. It has not been a struggle for them and it won’t be for you.  After all, you have had enough. It’s time to make the call….

The weight loss journey is a hard old road!  The Hypno-band program deals with the emotional issues which cause people to over eat.  It helps to address these issues.  We devise alternative behaviours, which don’t involve food, for the client to follow when the emotion tells them (falsely) that they need to eat.

Partners and brother and sister combinations have an easier time on the program as they make a point of supporting one another.  Eating habits in the home change straightaway as they pursue a common goal.  So it’s going to help a lot if your partner is on-side.  Of course we are happy to tell them how the program works and how they can help.

Hypno-band clients are encouraged to think hard about their support network extending it beyond the family to close friends who will support them.  If they use a personal trainer to help them with weight loss, the trainer should understand the program as well.

Last night’s Horizon on exercise and weight loss was pretty good, as one might expect.  So it looks like HIT immediately lowers the fat being transported in the bloodstream.  No bad thing.  But, does it tackle fat stored elsewhere in the body?  I don’t think it can have any marked effect on this.

It’s undoubtedly true that we should all be more active.  I do see more and more people walking to improve their health. We should all do more of it.  It strengthens our muscles and bones and burns fat, but only if you walk fast enough to get your heart rate up.

Talking of heart rate, HIT definitely gets that up for a period of some minutes. If you really want to burn fat your heart rate has to be up at a sustained level for 20 or more minutes.  In the average Spin class (45 mins) you can expect to burn 400 calories plus.  That’s a lot of effort for not much gain, but I’m hopelessly hooked!

So the right exercise will help you to lose weight, but not much weight.  What it will do, is build muscle mass and those muscles will burn fat when you use them properly.  It will also improve your metabolic rate, which means that your body will burn fat more quickly.

All good stuff, but the very best method of losing weight is to control what you eat and how much you eat.  This is where the Hypno-band program really helps.  You will be discouraged from eating too many carbohydrates and you will eat small portions of nutritious food.  You will cut back your alcohol consumption and take regular exercise.  If you do this you will start to lose weight in week one.

Many Hypno-band weight loss clients are having difficulty with bread and carbohydrates in general.  Carbs are addictive.  There is plenty of evidence to support this.  We know that eating carbohydrates raises insulin, which then lowers blood sugar. This causes a desire (or craving) for more food and, in many people, carbohydrates.

So if you are trying to lose weight watch out for the carbs!  Eating too much bread, pasta, yes pasta and potatoes has probably been responsible for your weight gain.

On the Hypno-band programme we won’t ask you to stop eating bread, pasta, and potatoes, but we will advise you to cut down. We will ask you to eat only one carbohydrate in any meal.  You will be eating smaller portions anyway, doing more exercise and drinking more water.  This will deliver sustained weight loss.

Clive is literally “walking the walk” on the Hypno-band weight loss program.  He is walking every day and losing 3 pounds a week.  Potatoes and bread have disappeared from his diet.  He hardly drinks any alcohol at all.

Clive has taken control of his eating and drinking habits.  The hypno-band program has helped him to replace bad eating and lifestyle habits with good ones.  The chances that he will achieve sustained weight loss are very good indeed.
