Hypnosis for Weight Loss

Welcome to the start of your hypnosis weight loss journey with Breakthrough Coaching!

Misconception of Hypnosis for Weight Loss

When it comes to weight loss therapy, many people turn to hypnosis for weight loss or virtual gastric band procedures, hoping for quick results. However, these methods often fall short, providing temporary solutions that fail to address the underlying issues driving unhealthy eating habits. Hypnosis for weight loss, when used solely to mimic a physical gastric band, tends to focus on symptom suppression rather than root cause resolution. Studies have shown that while some individuals may experience initial success, the long-term efficacy of these approaches is questionable, with most people regressing to their previous weight and habits over time, often gaining even more weight back than they lost with the virtual gastric band.

From a Professionals' perspective

Before becoming a therapist, I have been a certified personal trainer with additional qualifications in nutrition since 2013. As a result of working with PT clients and from my own personal weight loss struggles, I have come to understand that the only way to lose weight healthily and keep it off is to take a more holistic approach. Every aspect of a sustainable healthy lifestyle is significantly easier to maintain when you work with your brain instead of against it. Why make things more difficult for yourself than they have to be?

FAQs

about Hypnosis for Weight Loss and Gastric Band Hypnotherapy


  • Gastric band hypnotherapy, also known as a virtual gastric band, is a technique where hypnosis is used to simulate the effects of a physical gastric band, aiming to reduce appetite and food intake.

  • While some people may see initial results, gastric band hypnotherapy fails to address the underlying issues that contribute to weight gain and struggles to lose weight. Without tackling these root causes, the changes are very unlikely to be sustainable, leading to relapse and often putting on even more weight than you lost in the first place.

  • Studies indicate that while some individuals experience short-term success with virtual gastric bands, the long-term results are often disappointing, with many people returning to their previous weight and habits. A 2013 study on the effectiveness of gastric band hypnosis in the, 'International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis,’ found that only 25% of participants experienced any weight loss, and only 10% of them were able to maintain this after 6 months.  

    Addressing the root causes of weight issues has proven to be a more effective and sustainable approach. Research from 2016 found that by addressing the root cause, the rate of weight loss success 1 year after therapy was 75%. Since this research was conducted we have learned even more about how the brain works and how best to work with it. As such, the techniques available now, as used at Breakthrough Coaching, will provide even higher success rates as further studies are conducted. Further statistics on the effectiveness of virtual gastric band hypnosis as well as other forms of therapies can be found in the Blog section.
