Virtual Gastric Banding for Weight Loss
Brisbane Hypnosis Clinic - Weight Loss
There's no denying it - trying to lose weight can be a long and challenging journey. If you've ever tried and failed to lose weight before then you probably know just how frustrating it can be especially when feelings like stress, low self-esteem and boredom crop up.
It’s not unusual for people to get into a cycle of dieting, overeating, feeling guilty and dieting again. This is known as ‘yo-yo dieting’ and makes weight loss difficult to sustain.
While diets and nutrition plans focus on what you eat and how often, at Phoenix, I support your subconscious through Clinical Hypnotherapy for weight loss changes, on how you feel about what you eat.
The Virtual Gastric Band is a remarkable weight loss program,and as the name suggests, the system utilises the concept of a ”virtual” gastric band and clinical hypnotherapy. It successfully harnesses the power that every individual holds within them to make changes to their lives. Many clients have benefited from The Virtual Gastric Band therapy.
The Virtual Gastric Band is a non-surgical technique which uses the power of hypnosis to retrain you to be satisfied with smaller amounts of food. It changes how you think about food and gives very safe, very predictable results. The clinical hypnotherapy convinces the brain that the stomach is full after a certain level of intake and that there is no need for more food.
It is most definitely NOT a diet – we know that diets only work in the short term. The Virtual Gastric Band allows you to eat what you want, but will enable you to intake smaller portions. And, because it’s not a diet, you won’t feel deprived, miserable or hungry, the issues which cause diets to fail.
As The Virtual Gastric Band effectively negates these issues, you are left with a long-term solution to your weight problems.
The medical procedure reduces the physical size of the stomach, and may achieve the same result, but The Virtual Gastric Band can be undertaken quickly and privately, without the lengthy delay of hospital waiting lists, and of course carries no costly invasive surgery, no risks and no on-going medical treatment.
We will create and work with visualisations designed to empower you so that you can take control of your choices. Through weight loss, Hypnotherapy will help you to learn to enjoy the taste of healthy food and stop craving sugary, fatty foods. You should also learn to enjoy your body and not see it as a source of anxiety. By tackling those deep feelings that form the foundations of your eating habits, hypnosis for weight loss can help you adopt a healthier lifestyle and a happier mind set.
Doesn't that sound refreshing?
