Weight Loss Hypnosis CD

Posted by leigh on Thursday, 4 February, 2010

Hi there, it’s only Leigh again and I wanted to share with you how I managed to lose 30 lbs in only 7 weeks after I had my children.

I don’t know how old you are or what your situation is but i was one of the ‘older’ moms when I had Aaron – I was 35.

Then two years later I was blessed with my second son. After I had my second baby I just couldn’t shift my weight. I’d never been really slim, but the baby pounds just wouldn’t go. I tried every diet I found, but nothing worked. Then a friend suggested I tried hypnotherapy for weight loss.

I was skeptical because I didn’t see what weight loss hypnotherapy could do that the diets hadn’t, and I’d tried real hard with the diets! Plus with two young children and a part time job, trying to find time and money for regular sessions with hypnotherapists would be impossible. Anyway, my friend said I should try a weight loss hypnosis CD. I looked around to see the ones available, and to be honest I was shocked. Some of the weight loss CD s were so expensive it would be cheaper to visit a hypnotherapist, and other weight loss hypnosis CD s were just plain bad. There weren’t a lot of reviews online (which is one reason I’m writing this) but some of them were really poor! Really bad sound quality, no instructions, just a CD in a plastic case and from a company with no guarantees.

When I found www.weightlosshypnotherapy.info I was surprised. This weight loss hypnosis CD offered a 90 day money back guarantee which I thought was impressive. I didn’t have much to lose so I gave it a go, thinking if it didn’t work, I’d just send it back for a refund. Not only that it also came with three really great free bonuses, and I didn’t have to send these back even if I wasn’t happy with the product. That helped me decide that this was the weight loss hypnosis CD I wanted.

I didn’t need to worry about the guarantee and refund because the difference from the start was amazing. I set a regular time in the morning for my session with the weight loss hypnosis CD. I have to be honest that at first I found it hard to set up a time and stick to it, I’d rather fit it in when I could, but apparently it works better if you have a regular, uninterrupted time. After just a few sessions I noticed that my energy levels increased. I wasn’t tired all the time, and also I’d stopped craving the sugary snacks that made it so hard for me to stick to a diet. I found that playing the weight loss hypnosis CD was something I looked forward to each day to give me a little boost, and it was relaxing too – something that trying to find diet menus – and stick to them – wasn’t! The bonuses were great too, including Secrets to Looking and Feeling Younger, Insider Nutrition Secrets and Wrinkle Reduction and Skin Rejuvenation. Let’s face it, I might have bought those on their own anyway, but what great bonuses for a weight loss hypnosis CD!

I don’t know how the weight loss hypnosis CD works but it worked for me. Within a couple of weeks I noticed that the weight was starting to come off. What’s more I wasn’t even dieting really. Sure I was eating healthy food and was probably a little more active but I didn’t really think about those things. I started to believe I could lose weight, so I did. Maybe it was as simple as that…

Just in case your interested here is the site again that i found that has the CD program, and if it doesnt work for you i will be genuielly surprised but at least you get to keep the bonus’s

good luck

Hypnosis For Weight Loss

Posted by leigh on Wednesday, 23 December, 2009

What to do if the diets don’t work

Yo-yo dieting is extremely common among people trying to lose weight. It is the term used to describe starting a diet and losing weight, then giving up and putting the weight back on, before starting again, often with a different diet. These people come to believe that dieting doesn’t work. They are wrong! It does work, but in some cases a little extra help is needed, and that’s where hypnosis for weight loss can be useful.

Hypnosis is where the mind is in an altered state and becomes more focussed and more responsive to suggestions. It has been used by practitioners to help people with phobias and emotional or mental issues for many years. Weight loss hypnosis is thought to be particularly effective because hypnosis techniques can start to remove some of the subconscious thoughts that stop people successfully sticking to diets.

Studies have shown that weight loss hypnosis can increase the success rate of many diets and in some cases people can lose weight without even being on a diet. In weight loss hypnosis negative patterns of thought are replaced with positive ones, and new habits are introduced. For example, many people have developed the habit of snacking in the evenings and weight loss hypnosis can help them by getting them believe that they don’t need to do this. By changing this pattern of behaviour their weight loss starts to be more effective. Many people find that if they follow a weight loss hypnosis program that exercise becomes more enjoyable and something they really want to do. They are just some of the practical ways that weight loss hypnosis can help people.

People who have given up on previous diets find that they find it easier to stick to them after weight loss hypnosis, and also that the effectiveness of the diets increases because they start to believe the diets can work. So much about dieting is about the desire to lose weight and the ability to believe it is possible. There are many subconscious issues that can prevent this, and weight loss hypnosis is an excellent way of removing these subconscious obstacles.

So if you want to try weight loss hypnosis, what can you do? Well, there are lots of hypnotherapists around who can help, or you can also look at some of the hypnosis CDs that are out there. There are general ones for self hypnotherapy or there are specific weight loss hypnotherapy CDs. Weight loss hypnosis really could make the difference between sticking at a diet successfully and achieving your goals, or not doing it. Hypnotherapists may charge a lot, but are great if you want to see a real person. Weight loss hypnotherapy CDs are much more cost effective and, provided you follow the program, can be just as good for you. You can also follow the program when it suits you, rather than sticking to difficult appointment times.

If you decide to try weight loss hypnosis to help you lose weight, then you could be even closer to achieving your weight loss goals.

Weight Loss Menus That Work

Posted by leigh on Thursday, 10 December, 2009

Weight loss menus that work

A lot of people who are trying to lose weight have tried a number of diets. Some may have looked at unusual diets such as the cabbage soup diet, the grapefruit diet, and many people have tried low GI diets and the Atkins diet. Most diets work for some people but one problem with many weight loss diets is that people get bored not being able to include foods they like in their weight loss menus.

To make a diet work for you, you need to be interested in it. The best healthy diet plans include a variety of foods and flexibility so you can tailor your weight loss menus to suit your requirements.

A healthy weight loss diet includes weight loss menus that are easy to prepare, can sometimes be prepared in advance, and include a variety of foods which are interesting and contain all the essential nutrients you need.

There are many books and internet sites available which contain excellent weight loss menus. Look for ones which show you the calorific value, as low calorie diets are consistently shown to be the most effective. If you concentrate on the calorific value of your weight loss menus and the items you include in your meals, then you have the highest level of flexibility in your meal planning. If your diet plan calls for a lean steak and salad and you don’t like steak, all you need to do is to substitute the steak for lean chicken, some fish, or a vegetarian alternative.

Weight loss menus don’t need to be boring – you can also, within reason, add some treats sometimes. If you sometimes like a glass of wine or beer then you simply work out the number of calories in it and take out one of the other treats from the plan. Most weight loss diet plans include treats so this shouldn’t be too difficult. Obviously there are limits to this – it wouldn’t be a great idea to substitute all your weight loss menus with wine, the calories might be fine but you wouldn’t be getting many nutrients into your body!

If you are trying to lose weight but have other family members to cook for, then you can adapt your weight loss menus to suit others too. For example, they could have extra sauce with their meat, or dressing on their salad. It is especially important to make sure children are getting enough calories and fats in their diet and young children should always be given full-fat milk.

One thing to consider when choosing your weight loss menus is that studies show you should have more calories, and carbohydrates earlier in the day and your evening meal should be the lightest. Do not skip one meal from your weight loss menus and load on another, as your food intake should be spread throughout the day.

By following the weight loss menus you prepare, taking a little exercise, staying motivated and interested, and believing you can do it, you will lose weight.

How To Create Healthy Meal Plans

Posted by leigh on Thursday, 10 December, 2009

How to create healthy meal plans

Whether you are trying to lose weight or not, it is important to create interesting and healthy meal plans for yourself and your family. When you have a lot of demands on your time, this isn’t always an easy thing to do and it gets even more difficult when you have to cater for special diets such as weight loss diets or vegetarian diets as well.

One of the best things you can do to help prepare healthy meal plans is to create weekly meal plans so you can buy all your groceries in advance and you know what to make for each daily meal. This stops you from worrying each day about what you will cook. It also lets you look at the plans for the week and check that they are actually healthy meal plans, with a balance of all the nutrients that are needed.

Healthy meal plans needs protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and fats. It is important to include good (polyunsaturated) fats. Lots of fatty meat, high fat dairy produce and fried foods is not good for anyone. Healthy meal plans consisting of fish, lean meat, poultry, wholegrains and fresh fruit and vegetables are a great basis to work from.

If you are looking for some healthy eating recipes there are a lot on the internet. Most foods also come with the nutritional values on the packaging which will help you when you are preparing your healthy meal plans for the week. Generally pre-prepared foods, whilst useful, are not as nutritionally healthy as home-made alternatives.

Some methods of cooking remove nutrients from food. If you are trying to create healthy meal plans the method of cooking is as important as the foods you include. If you have a pressure cooker use it for some of your cooking. Not only will it save you money but it is also healthier as it preserves the nutrients due to the speed of cooking. Likewise steaming vegetables or fish instead of boiling or frying preserves more vitamins and minerals.

Healthy meal plans don’t need to include meat or fish if there are members of your family who don’t eat them. It is very easy for example to create vegetarian versions of the meals in your meal plans. Many soya based meat substitutes, tofu and quorn have low fat and high protein values so they can be substituted easily.

Healthy meal plans don’t need to be boring. There may be less chocolate, it is true, but there are some fantastic fruit based recipes, oat and nut based snacks, and your children may grow to love home-made oatie bars and cereals more than shop-bought varieties.

Whatever your tastes in food, it isn’t difficult to make a few changes to your eating habits to turn your weekly menus into healthy meal plans. In combination with a reasonable level of activity then substituting sugary and fatty foods for more healthy ones could see your health improve and you could lose weight easily too, without trying too hard.

Vegetarian Weight Loss Diet

Posted by leigh on Thursday, 10 December, 2009

Top tips to lose weight the vegetarian way

If you are trying to lose weight but don’t eat meat then you may find it difficult to find diet plans for a vegetarian weight loss diet. Even if you are a meat eater, vegetarian foods can be very healthy as a vegetarian menu is generally high in fiber, complex carbohydrates and vegetables, providing all the nutrients you need to stay healthy. Vegetarian food is generally lower in fat, and the fats it does contain are usually of the healthier, polyunsaturated variety. That is one reason why a vegetarian weight loss diet can be so good.

Some people worry about their source of protein if they are following a weight loss diet. This needn’t be a problem because there are many sources of vegetarian protein. Dairy products are a good source but these are fairly high in fat, so not great as the main source of protein in a vegetarian weight loss diet. Meat substitutes such as quorn or tofu are high sources of vegetarian protein too, as are beans, lentils, chick peas and other pulses.

Breakfast is the most important meal in any diet, whether as part of a vegetarian weight loss diet or not. You should make sure you eat plenty of carbohydrates at breakfast. Oats are a good source of protein and very low fat, so porridge (made with water) would be an excellent start to the day in a weight loss diet. If you don’t like porridge, then a good alternative would be home made muesli made with oats, dried fruit, a few nuts, and seeds, and soaked in apple juice overnight. During the morning it is a good idea to have a snack to keep your blood sugars up – fruit is great for this. Just because you are following a vegetarian weight loss diet it doesn’t mean you have to stop snacking!

Your lunch is a crucial part of your weight loss diet. You need enough to keep you going for the rest of the day but want to avoid fatty foods. You could have a baked potato with a small amount of cheese, a rice and vegetable salad, pitta breads with mixed beans and salad, or baked beans on toast. All would be good sources of carbohydrate and protein. Why not make up a snack box of nuts and dried fruit for the afternoon munchies?

For your evening meal you should make sure you include vegetables and fruit. You could have stir fried tofu and vegetables with rice, a lentil bake with salad, quorn bolognaise, chilli beans and rice. You could follow that with fresh fruit, a low fat yoghurt, even a low sugar, low fat pie – just because you are following a vegetarian weight loss diet it doesn’t have to be boring.

To lose weight successfully you can’t get bored with your food or you will lose interest. Have a look for some low-fat vegetarian meals as part of your vegetarian weight loss diet plan, keep things interesting and you will be more likely to succeed.
