Are you desperate to lose weight but nothing seems to work? Have you tried many diets but you keep on falling back to binge eating? Do you want a good way to lose weight? You are not alone.
Losing weight is not easy at all. However, we have a solution. And it is not medicines, surgery, or yoga.
Enter hypnotherapy. You will find out: What is hypnotherapy? How does it work? Does it have enough scientific proof? If yes, is it positive? What can you expect if you try this method to lose weight? In this blog post.
People gain weight because of many factors, i.e. genetics, family influence, lifestyle, and environment. You might read or hear that it happens because of an imbalance between how many calories you take and how much you spend. However, it is more than that. Your emotional stress, psychological patterns, and subconscious beliefs and habits play influence your weight gain.
You may be repeating your unhealthy behaviours which might make it difficult for you to lose weight. You need a treatment method that helps you get rid of those behaviours. That method must make you realise that being healthy is better for you instead of binge eating.
The Role of the Subconscious Mind in Behaviour and Habits
Your subconscious mind handles your habits, behaviours, and emotions. It is like an autopilot that controls your daily actions without you even realising it. It can either help you lose weight and exercise more… or stop you. Your unhealthy eating patterns and sedentary lifestyles can happen because of your subconscious behaviours formed over years or even decades.
How Beliefs and Attitudes Influence Eating Habits and Weight?
Your beliefs and attitudes make up your eating habits. As a result, they can also control your weight gain or weight loss. You may not know it, but you have inner thoughts and beliefs about food, body image, and self-worth. It might force you to stay healthy or let yourself go.
For example, if you see food as a comfort… you might eat whenever you feel stressed. As a result, you put on more weight. Also, you might have some cultural beliefs about how your body must look. It can make or break your eating routine, too.
Positive attitudes towards healthy eating and exercise build better habits. On the other hand, negative self-perceptions can push you into unhealthy eating habits.
Changing Attitudes and Feelings Towards Food and Exercise
Hypnotherapy helps your subconscious mind to change your negative feelings towards food and exercise. Your hypnotherapist can help you build positive thoughts through different methods. It can help you see that healthy eating and physical activity are good habits… not burdens.
Overcoming Emotional Eating Through Hypnosis
Emotional eating is a common roadblock in your weight loss path. Hypnotherapy targets the hidden root causes of emotional eating. It helps you recognise and resolve them in a healthy way. Hypnosis can reduce cravings and build healthier eating habits by breaking the link between emotions and food.
Addressing Underlying Issues Contributing to Weight Gain
Your weight gain can be a symptom of deeper issues, i.e. low self-esteem, unresolved trauma, or chronic stress. Hypnotherapy can help you recognise and resolve these hidden issues. It is a holistic method to help you lose weight. You can create a solid foundation for achieving and maintaining a healthy weight if you upgrade your subconscious mind.
Review of Studies and Research on Hypnotherapy and Weight Management
Many studies found out how effective hypnotherapy is for weight loss. A research published in the International Journal of Obesity showed that participants who received hypnotherapy lost more weight… compared to participants who did not. Also, they managed to maintain their weight loss for a long time.
Another study in the Journal of Clinical Psychology says that hypnosis increased weight loss results in people who followed a calorie-restricted diet.
Hypnotherapy helps with immediate weight loss. It also helps you to maintain your weight long-term. Hypnotherapy is successful because it can reprogram your subconscious mind. This can change your behaviour and attitude for a long time. Many clients continued losing weight and improved their well-being even years after their hypnotherapy sessions.
Real-Life Success Stories

Bronwyn C. struggled with emotional eating for years. She developed healthier mechanisms and lost weight within a few months after a few sessions.
She says:
“I definitely recommend ‘Make It Happen Hypnotherapy’. Even after the first session, I could feel and see the results in my life. Now, after several sessions, I feel that the hypnotherapist at MIHH has guided me to recognise and then get rid of the root causes of my old problems.
I went to MIHH as I wanted to lose weight: one of their therapists took me on a journey of self-discovery to help me understand why I had always struggled with my weight, and how to resolve these issues. Certainly, I have lost weight, but more importantly, I have also lost bad habits, anxiety, fears, and anger. MIHH has helped me to become a better self, a more confident, happier, and more fulfilled self – and slimmer too.”
