If any diet actually worked, there wouldn't be so many of them!

The reason why diets don't work is because food isn't the problem! Just like alcohol isn't the problem! Just like drugs are not the problem! etc, etc.

About 15-20 years ago, if you had anorexia, the "experts" would bang on and on about food! Food! Food! And guess what? It didn't work. Then one day, someone thought "Wait a minute, it may be that the anorexic has a few bottled up emotions and/or some cognitive problems which are affecting her in some way, so that the only comfort and control she can get is by not eating and the anorexia is in fact a sign / cry for help?”

And there lies the answer. It’s often what’s bottled up inside us that causes us do the things that we do - that is the problem. It's also often the case that the person has cognitive problems which are equally problematic. So you can see, it's whatever is 'driving' the person to over-eat, comfort eat, drink too much, or take mind-bending drugs which is the real problem.

And the real problem is simply down to 'bottled up' emotions and/or cognitive issues!

Take a simple case of comfort eating and over-eating. You have someone who is a couple of stones overweight and who is unhappy with their size and shape. They can go to their local “weight watchers" type slimming club and they will lose weight, become slimmer and feel better - until they stop going to the meetings, then they over-eat and put weight back on and they feel worse than they did before!

If this person then went to their G.P, chances are, they would be given drugs to help them lose weight (while having to live with the side-effects in the process)! Then what happens when they come off the drugs? They put weight back on and feel worse than they ever did before they started taking the drugs.

If this person undertook any one of the new 'wonder therapies' that relied on, say, tapping certain points on their body; or chanting a special mantra to themselves day in, day out; or trying to convince themselves that 'it is only chocolate, not love'; or reliving their previous life as the Queen of Sheba or whatever...... then they will probably experience some weight loss for a while, then over-eat again and put weight back on and then again feel even worse than before they ever saw the advert in the 'personal column' of their local newspaper.

Surely, it would make much more sense to find out WHY the person comfort eats in the first place and then resolve whatever is driving this need? This way, they wouldn't go back to their old unhelpful behaviours 'as soon as the spell wore off'. In fact, their self- esteem and self confidence would just grow and grow and grow.

Does this sound like the treadmill that you have been on?

Well, I can help you reach the ideal size that you want and help you build your self- esteem and self confidence in the process using hypnosis and hypnotherapy. The hypnotherapy will only take about 8 to 12 weeks and, by that time, you will be well on the way to achieving your goal.

As an alternative to hypnotherapy, you may be better suited to the specialised cognitive training I am a licensed consultant for, known as The Thrive Programme™, to tackle any really unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns you unwittingly have; or perhaps a combination of the two. The best approach for you will be discussed during the free initial meeting.

But, if you're 'sure' none of the above applies to you...

Due to popular demand and as seen on National TV I now offer the
Hypno-Band Weight Loss System™

What is the Hypno-Band Weight Loss System™?
The Hypno-Band Weight Loss System™ is a non-invasive hypnotherapy technique that simply uses a combination of visualisation, suggestion therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques together with the power of your mind to fit a "virtual gastric band" to your stomach, to achieve virtually the same results as would be expected from the real thing. This means that, not only will you will eat less and less often but, more importantly, it’s without the risks or complications normally associated with surgery and it costs a mere fraction of the £4,000 to £9,000 price tag it would cost you for the pleasure of going 'under the knife'!

How does the Hypno-Band Weight Loss System™ work?
One of the key elements to the Hypno-Band Weight Loss System™ is that you will be encouraged to change your beliefs, behaviours and habits when it comes to over-eating. If these underlying factors are not addressed, ‘fitting’ a virtual gastric band would be futile. Using a combination of cognitive training techniques and visualisation, it is possible to address ‘some’ of the emotional and psychological reasons** of why you over-eat. Once this is done, you can then move on to the virtual gastric band phase where you are taken through the gastric band surgery using visualisation and utilising actual surgery sound effects. In only six easy sessions. you will be taken through the process of having a gastric band fitted.

**Often, people over-eat because of ‘deeper rooted’ emotional problems (it's not called "comfort eating" for nothing); in these cases their over-eating behaviours go deeper than average, therefore the actual problem would have to be addressed and resolved using a course of Pure Hypnoanalysis.

Please note: Surgeons cannot guarantee that an actual gastric band will work! However, the Hypno-Band Weight Loss System™ has been proven to be an effective aid when it comes to significant weight loss.

Remember: It is YOU who holds the key to you losing weight...like everything else in the world, for this to work, you need to be 100% committed. Your mind is a incredibly powerful instrument; using the Hypno-Band Weight Loss System™ you will be given all the tools and power to change your eating habits forever... but the fact remains that the only way to lose significant amounts of weight is to eat less and/or do more exercise!

Reviews show that the Hypno-Band Weight Loss System™ is a genuine and very real alternative to gastric band surgery.
