Thirty Days To A Slimmer You

If "lose weight" is on your New Year's resolutions lists, one of the simplest ways is via hypnosis.

People who want to lose weight choose hypnosis because it's a natural way to lost weight - no pills and potions are involved. The reason given in this article Hypnotherapy to lose weight is common: "'I've tried different routes, I've tried -- I'm a healthy eater, umm, I recently had a baby a year ago and I decided that I needed to do the holistic part of the whole weight losing spectrum, so I decided to come to Shannon and ask her for help,' said Keating."

Can you lose weight with hypnosis?

That depends on you. If you want to lose weight, you can, however it's worth finding a hypnotherapist rather than trying to do it on your own.

Hypnosis "reprograms" your subconscious mind. It removes all the unconscious triggers to eating which cause you to put on weight. A hypnotherapist has lots of experience with helping people to lose weight, so getting his help makes it more likely that hypnosis will work for you.

Weight loss can be confusing. What foods should you keep in your diet - should you eat bread, should you ban cheese because of its fat content?

However, as this article Counting calories: Getting back to weight-loss basics points out: "Your weight is a balancing act, but the equation is simple: If you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight.

Because 3,500 calories equals about 1 pound of fat, you need to burn 3,500 calories more than you take in to lose 1 pound. So if you cut 500 calories from your typical diet each day, you'd lose approximately 1 pound a week (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories).

Cutting calories doesn't have to be difficult. In fact, it might be as simple as forgoing one extra item a day, swapping foods or trimming serving sizes. The number of calories you save is likely to translate into pounds lost."

So it really doesn't matter what diet you choose. You don't need to follow any diets at all: you just need to eat fewer calories than those you expend. If you do that, you will lose weight.

Sitting down is a primary cause of weight gain. So if you have an office job, take every opportunity you can find to move around - you'll lose weight.

If this sounds simple, it's because it is.

Newsmax.com - Lose Weight by Getting Off Your Duff – Literally! notes: "‘It was hard to believe at first,’ said research team leader Marc Hamilton, associate professor of biomedical sciences at the University of Missouri-Columbia. When the team began investigating what happens to fat when we sit for extended periods, they really didn’t expect to find much, and certainly didn’t expect to find anything that turned out to be ‘huge.’"

It turns out that if you spend eight hours a day sitting down, fat collects on your tummy and hips, and aside from the weight gain, it's bad for your health.

So make a new resolution - walk around when you speak on the phone, and get out of your office chair at least a few times an hour.
