Fed up with yoyo
dieting?
Would you like to banish cravings?
Would you like to eat to live and not live to eat?
Would you like to stop obsessing about food?

Research shows that the majority of
diets fail long term, and not only do dieters usually put on the
weight they have lost, but often they put on extra weight too.
You only have to look on the front of any magazine to see the
new ‘wonder’ diet that promises to help you lose lbs quickly.
Studies have also shown that people following a diet over a two
year period gained more weight than others that didn’t follow a
diet. Yoyo dieting can mess up your metabolism and is also
linked to cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and altered
immune function. |

The Fad Diet
Mentality |
|
|
|
Usually one of
the first things that needs to be done when seeing a slimming
client is to de-hypnotise them from ‘fad diet’ living. Being on
a diet makes you obsess over food, so you find yourself thinking
about food most of the time – making it extremely difficult to
eat less. You only have to ask a few people who are naturally
slim to find out that this is not the case for them, they mostly
only think about food when they are hungry. Also if you try to
deprive yourself from certain food, what usually happens is that
after a period of abstinence and strong willpower the ‘rebel’
inside us takes over and we end up binging on the food we were
trying to avoid. This can then lead us to feel angry, guilty and
depressed which in turn can lead to more cravings, and so the
cycle starts again.
Many people continue to believe that there is some magical quick
fix answer to weight loss. The truth is there isn’t a quick fix,
if that was true then the magazines wouldn’t need to invent a
new ‘wonder’ diet every issue. To lose weight the individual
needs to be committed to long-term changes to their eating
habits and lifestyle. 90% of people are overweight because they
eat too much and don’t exercise. |

How Life Clinics
Can Help |
|
|
|
Marcia has been working
with clients for weight loss for nearly a decade. During that
time she has developed a system for weight loss that is unique
to the individual. Hypnotherapy and CBT methods are used to
identify and help re-programme the faulty thought patterns and
behaviour that leads to weight gain. New messages are created
for the individual that encourages them to recognise the
difference between physical hunger, and emotional
hunger. The subconscious mind is encouraged to get back to the
basics of eating when hungry, and stopping when full. Some
people overeat because of emotional reasons that can be from the
past or the present. The Counselling relationship is used to
explore these issues in a safe, confidential, warm and empathic
way. Overeating is often a reaction to anxiety, loneliness and
depression,. Again these issues can be explored in the most
appropriate way for the individual. Motivation techniques are
used to encourage exercise. Some people suffer with intense
cravings for particular foods like chocolate or crisps. Marcia
teaches these clients a quick, easy and effective way of
reducing and banishing these cravings. For overweight people
with a high BMI (25 and above), then the Hypno-Band weight loss
system may be an option. This is a technique that involves
having a virtual gastric band fitted. For more information on
the Hypno-Band system click here.
What is paramount to the success of any of the treatments
offered by Marcia is your commitment. You must be prepared to
make lifestyle and behaviour changes – no-one can do that for
you. You need to be realistic about your weight loss goals – a
healthy and realistic weight loss is between 1-4 lbs a week. You
will be required to do some work between sessions like listening
to a reinforcing Hypnotherapy CD, keeping a food and thought
diary, or practicing other techniques that you may be taught.
What Marcia offers to you is her commitment and expertise in
finding the best way to assist you to achieve a happy, slimmer
and healthier you.
