Weight Loss Hypnotherapy Manchester

Many people are turning to weight loss hypnotherapy as a viable alternative to “willpower”. In this article, I’ll explain the fundamentals of weight loss and how weight loss hypnotherapy can help you.

In 2021 to 2022, 63.8% of adults aged 18 years and over in England were estimated to be overweight or living with obesity. Today’s obesity levels are more than three times what they were in 1980, when only 6% of men and 9% of women were obese.

The secrets to weight loss with hypnotherapy

Calories in vs. Calories out

You’ve probably heard it a thousand times…If you take in more energy than you burn, you will gain weight. Most people understand this fundamental concept, yet still struggle with their weight.

The “three pillars” of weight loss

Pillar 1. Diet/Nutrition

By far the largest factor in losing weight is what you eat and drink, and how much. As the old saying goes, “you can’t out-train a bad diet”. Some of the main factors to consider are:

• Food choices – Highly processed, fatty and high-sugar foods play havoc with your blood sugar levels. This can contribute to weight gain, diabetes risk and more.
• Alcohol intake – Alcohol is laden with “empty” calories. It has zero nutritional value and can therefore cause rapid weight gain.
• Portion sizes – The healthiest foods in the world can cause weight gain if over-eaten.
• Hydration – Lack of sufficient water intake can cause low energy levels, which can then trick your brain into thinking you’re hungry.
• Lack of nutrients – Vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by a poor diet can cause a huge array of problems in your body, including reduced metabolism.

Pillar 2. Exercise/activity levels
