Since you are reading this, I'll assume that you have gained weight, that you have an idea in mind about how much you would like to weigh to be healthier after you lost weight, and that you want to accomplish this in a way that is pleasant, fulfilling, and without undue hunger pangs and fighting against appetite.
In Seattle, Portland, Oregon and elsewhere in your area, many counselors, therapists, hypnotists, hypnotherapists and other kinds of professionals offer weight loss programs and processes to lose weight quickly, and keep it off. My approach to attaining and maintaining your ideal body weight relies on extensive research, is unique, is based on my work in my practice with clients over many years, and I'm glad you are looking into it. I have an approach that may work well for you.
The Difficulty of Losing Weight and Keeping it Off
The difficulty in weight loss is the requirement of eating with an energy deficit. To lose a pound a week, a person must eat about 500 calories less then they use on a daily basis. That way, the body draws on stored energy—extra body fat—for its energy requirements. The body normally resists this and uses an increased appetite to motivate itself to eat more food. To solve this problem, and to eat fewer calories than the body expends, not only must the quantities of food eaten be less, but for involuntary, automatic, sustainable appetite suppression, the types of food and the amounts of exercises must change. And with this change, while weight is lost, the body must also learn to live, eat, and exercise, to maintain the same weight for periods of time. Why? Because otherwise, what will happen is this: the up-and-down of weight loss and weight gain will counter any weight losses with subsequent gains. Creating sustainable weight loss over a period of the rest of one's life is a puzzle worthy of Sherlock Holmes.
Fortunately there are a number of new areas of knowledge that can be blended into a tasty recipe for unraveling the mystery and puzzle of weight loss that works, that lasts, and that is comfortable for the person seeking his or her ideal healthy body weight.
The goal of my Portland, Oregon weight loss program is this: get your excess weight off, and keep it off, without having to fight appetite.
Since I began practicing in the 1970s, my approach evolved from simple suggestions to something more complex, resulting in better results. I've combined a number of factors that affect the achievement of one's healthy, ideal body weight—and maintaining it. What are these factors?
Here they are:
". . . lose weight deliberately, relatively fast, without inner conflict or struggle with hunger pangs"
NLP slender eating strategy--Anticipating bodily satisfaction in the near-future
At the time we eat, when we are in a weight-gaining mode, we tend to eat unconsciously, according to immediate appetite. With carbohydrate addiction, this becomes a self-reinforcing cycle where the more we eat the hungrier we get. One way to offset this pattern is to insert a conscious step just as we are in the process of preparing food and/or eating. That is, to anticipate how to eat so as to feel satisfied in the near future. This can be done with a thoughtful key question.
Imagine adjusting your own thinking so you anticipate how you will feel in the near future, and so you automatically adjust your eating in the present!
Understanding the Different Functions of Different Types of Food for Fitness Levels
By examining the body's metabolism, I've found a key insight for eating to reduce appetite. Proteins and fats have a different set of functions for the body than carbohydrates. This insight defines the functions of different kinds of food for different types of exercise. Resting requires one combination of foods. Engaging in low or moderate-intensity exercise like walking, jogging slowly, or riding a bike slowly, require another combination of foods. Intense exercise for advanced athletic training requires still another combination of foods. My program takes into account your fitness levels as they are, and your goals for fitness levels in the future.
Imagine determining your combination of food for weight loss that enables you to lose weight and exercise in a delightful, easy combination!
Achieving Appetite Suppression by Varying Food Types and Exercise
It is well-known among athletes and body-builders that certain kinds of foods and certain kinds of exercise, in combination, will suppress appetite or the desire to eat. Eating carbohydrates enables us to exercise intensely, but also has a downside: stimulating appetite for more carbohydrates. Eating a diet low in carbohydrates tends to suppress appetite, but is not suited to some forms of intense exercise. My own work in this area has led me to help my clients to find the proper balance for them, given their own goals and unique requirements for food.
Imagine learning how to eat and exercise so your desire to eat becomes suspended for hours!
Using Counseling, Hypnosis and CD Recordings to Combine these Factors into a Unique Program for YOU
The hypnosis part of this system brings together and integrates these different factors into your own process for losing weight, and keeping it off.
The effectiveness of this approach to weight loss comes from the way the hypnosis sessions combine and integrate the different factors that make your weight-loss process work. Through your hypnosis sessions, you will hear suggestions and envision your life, in a focused state of mind, to transform your way of eating—your eating habits—to become healthy and satisfying, tasty and sustainable. You will hear suggestions and envision your future, while you are mentally receptive, to exercise in a way this is healthy, satisfying and fun.
Your new way of eating and new way of exercising will combine to give you two modes: the weight losing mode, and the weight maintaining mode. You practice both, so when you reach your ideal weight, you will know how to stay there. This ends the weight loss Yo Yo or roller coaster. It creates the way of living so that the body you envision is the one you have.
Imagine this approach for creating a new way of eating and a new way of exercising to achieve your healthy body weight and maintaining that weight, that health!
In Conclusion
This balanced approach to weight loss, and keeping it off, involves a blend between the types of food we eat, the amounts we eat due to appetite, and the amounts and types of exercise we can enjoy and sustain.
