- NO DIETING
- HEALTHY EATING based on the Glycemic index ,eating foods that stay longer in your system, helping you to feel full for longer
- THE GLYCEMIC INDEX measures the speed the body converts carbohydrates to glucose, your body’s energy resource. The quicker the food breaks down, the higher the number on the index. The index sets glucose at 100 and scores food in relation to that number. Eating foods with a high rating increases the production of insulin which results in a drop in blood sugar levels and the body then demands more food to boost the sugar levels and the food is more likely to be stored as fat. Eating foods that are low on the index helps your blood sugar levels to be stable and you avoid the cravings and mood swings associated with fluctuating blood sugar levels.
- CDS or Audio downloads included in the programme.

What part do unhealthy beliefs play in failure to lose weight?
Unhealthy beliefs can sabotage a healthy eating programme. Typical unhealthy beliefs that can surface are as follows:
- I must clear my plate, if I don’t I can’t stand it!
- I must not waste food!
- I must be full and totally satisfied, if I am not full, I can’t stand it!
- I must be comfortable all the time!
- When I am bored, I must eat, if I can’t eat when bore, I can’t bear it!
- When I am stressed I must eat, if I can’t eat when stressed, I can’t stand it!
- I must get fast results!
Join this programme to find out how you can change these typical beliefs to healthy beliefs which will help you to get to your goals.
Why diets don’t work
Many people go on diets expecting a quick fix. Lose weight for that wedding, summer, Christmas etc. Extremes in dieting can be dangerous and you lose muscle as well as fat, so that when you eat normally there is not enough muscle to burn off the same amount of calories as before, hence weight gain.
In fact they should be looking at the longer picture, a new way of life that can be followed easily, no extremes, no starve binge cycle.
Many diets do not look at the person as a whole. They only address the dietary issue and the quick fix dramatic weight loss that may not be healthy.
Self worth and weight
Many people with weight problems have issues related to self esteem and self worth. They are very critical of themselves. They often comfort eat to anaesthetise any negative feeling they have about themselves.
Separating moods from foods
Many diets only look at the dietary issues. They do not look at the feelings associated with the foods. Hypnosis can separate the moods from the foods. It seeks to release the associations that some people have with food. I am upset, so I will eat. I am angry so I will eat. It dulls the pain, but that is only short lived and then the guilt feelings start and the low opinion of yourself only gets worse and you need to comfort eat again. It is a vicious cycle that can be broken with hypnotherapy and cognitive techniques.
Many people say “There is a part of me that wants to eat healthily and there is a part of me that rebels”. That is true with many problems such as weight loss and other problems such as smoking.
The person with the weight problem indeed has a thin part and a fat part (Your mini me fat person inside and your mini-me thin person) and at any one time, whichever one is strongest wins the battle. Hypnotherapy and cognitive techniques aim to integrate the two parts to have a balance and to have moderation in your life.
Hypnotherapy can help you feel good while losing weight
While you are losing weight with a hypnotherapy programme, you can feel really good about yourself through the positive suggestions given while in hypnosis. It is very important to feel good about yourself, whatever size you are. Some people, even when they reach their target weight still do not feel good about themselves, so it is not just about losing the weight. Feeling positive about yourself is of the utmost importance. Hypnotherapy promotes feeling positive about yourself no matter what size you are.
Hypnotherapy and cognitive techniques strengthen motivation, focusing you towards your goals allowing you to visualise yourself as you really want to be. It can help change your bad habits into positive ones
Stress also causes the body to produce more insulin, which promotes storage of fat so it is very important to lessen stress and hypnotherapy can help to do this very effectively.
Johan now uses a Hypnocom which blocks out distracting sounds and noises and really enhances the hypnotherapy experience. It involves wearing a headset so that you hear Johan’s voice mixed with background music, a whole new relaxing experience!
