No, it’s not just you.

According to the Stress in America™ poll conducted by the American Psychological Association, 61% of adult Americans say that the pandemic has been bad for their weight.

While the pandemic provided a lot of fodder for jokes when it first started in early 2020, the ‘pandemic body’ is now a very real concern, even though it’s been difficult to understand the full scale of the problem.

A recent, albeit very small, study suggests that on average, adults gained about two pounds a month while sheltering-in-place.

As it turns out, hypnosis might be able to help. Below, we discuss it in detail:

What is Weight Loss Hypnosis?

Hypnosis for weight loss is more popular than people think.

When it comes to addressing the core problem at its root, the effectiveness of hypnosis is unparalleled. In a weight loss hypnosis session, a trained hypnotist puts you in a hyper-aware, almost trance-like state and explores your feelings towards food, your body, and your weight.

This is the fundamental difference between hypnosis and other methods. Whereas other methods work from the outside in, hypnosis works from the inside out.

Your habits, fears, associations with food, inner voice, and self-esteem all originate from your subconscious. Learning to lose weight is about a lot more than eating less, it’s also about learning how to identify feelings you may have towards food.

Is Weight Loss Hypnosis for Everyone?

Yes, it can help just about everyone.

If you’re facing difficulty in adhering to a diet and exercise regimen, it might be possible that your plan needs further modifications before it can work for you. Another reason, however, is that your regimen could be triggering something within you at the subconscious level.

Since hypnosis goes straight to the heart of the matter within your subconscious, it can help you learn how to express emotions related to your body image or your relationship with food, and cultivate healthier habits.

Reasons Why You Should Try It

Here are some reasons why you should give weight loss hypnosis a shot:

1. Rewire Your Brain, Rewire Your Body

Through the use of suggestions, hypnosis helps rewire your brain.

This leads you away from issues such as impulsive eating, stress eating, negative self-talk, and low self-worth, all of which contribute to weight gain.

2. It Empowers You with a Positive Attitude

A lot of people try negative reinforcements in their efforts to lose weight, and lose hope when they don’t work.

Hypnosis encourages you to break your old ways of thinking about what you can’t do, and focus on all that you can achieve.

3. You Learn to Treat Yourself Well

In addition to the positive mindset and feeling identification, hypnosis also enables you to develop a positive relationship with your body.

The suggestions given by the hypnotist will motivate you to respect your body with nutritious food and good exercise.
