"CHANGE
BY
HYPNOSIS"
The Fattening of America:

It’s headline news and a health disaster. Two-thirds of Americans are overweight and one-third is
obese. This major expansion happened in less than forty years. In just about half a normal life span,
we’ve more almost tripled our fat stores.
Biology just does NOT change that fast

We blame our growing posteriors on all kinds of things, like genetics, food addictions, even larger
food portions. The fact is, before World War II, the average person consumed more calories per day
s/he does now. Look at the high-fat, high sugar diet of the Amish.
Our obesity rate is eight times  
that of the Amish.

The Amish levels of overweight and obesity today are almost identical to that of the general
population of seventy years ago. What’s the difference?

Inactivity makes the huge difference:

Your grandmother was lifting, carrying, bending, stretching, and walking for eight or ten hours every
day: Carrying water to heat for laundry, bending for each towel, sheet, shirt,  rubbing, sloshing,
wringing, lugging twenty pounds of wet clothes to the line, bending, pining, unpinning, folding,
ironing (and that’s just part of what she did on Monday).  By spending four hours a day at the gym,
you may get the same effect.

Lifting the car keys, the cell phone, and the computer mouse, pushing the buttons on the washer and
the microwave just doesn't compare. And you are being programmed to believe this is good. Every
year, millions of dollars are spent on persuading you it’s good to do less. Do you believe it’s too much
work to dip a mop in a bucket, yet? Do you buy your lettuce already cut up?

You have been programmed to value fattening food:

Why do you choose the calories you do? Most of your likes were programmed  in childhood. Mom and
Grandma pampered you with high calorie taste-goods when you were unhappy, sick, or especially
good, on your birthday, holidays, and as a bribe for your affection. Red Lobster, Pillsbury, Lays, and
their competitors spend billions to capitalize on that, bombarding you with carefully researched
commercials calculated to push those same buttons.  Day after day, year after year, you are blitzed
with primary-colored loud commands to indulge yourself (“you deserve a break today“).
After a few
thousand repetitions, it becomes part of your belief system.

Three times as many second graders can recite MacDonald’s commercials as know the Pledge of
Allegiance. What does that tell you about the effectiveness of this programming?

A band aid is not going to fix it:

Overweight and obesity are chronic problems. They are not temporary conditions that can be cured
by a few months of Atkins and an exercise machine.

The truth is, more people recovering permanently from cancer than from obesity.  You have to
change the way you think, alter your relationships with food, and increase the activity of your body.  
It means unlearning and relearning, forming new habits, re-educating the subconscious mind and
learning to enjoy being healthy.

Hypnotherapy makes changes in habits and beliefs:

Hypnotherapy has an established history of helping people modify their eating and activity levels. By
changing habits and beliefs in the subconscious mind, your behavior changes automatically.

Reinforcement and follow-up are very important for most people. An effective program can take
anywhere from four to ten sessions, during which you learn to defend yourself against the perpetual
appeal to your infantile appetites.  Often there are also issues in self-esteem, stress, or childhood
trauma that need to be resolved. Any medical issues should be addressed by a physician.

Hypnotherapy makes it much easier to maintain commitment to exercise and nutrition programs.
Every person is unique and those differences must be addressed. Changes become as natural as  
breathing once the inner mind is convinced.

Fortunately, you were not born with negative self-concepts. Since, they were learned, they can be
unlearned.  Hypnosis is not the only way to change them, but it is the fastest, most efficient, and
least expensive way to do it. One-to-one individualized programs work best, but it is possible to
make changes through CD programs. Several programs have been designed with written instructions
and recommended timetables. These programs are now available for purchase. Just click on

Whatever you would like to change, it is simple to achieve when you know what you want, you
believe you deserve it, and you really want it.
