Hypnosis, Meditation and Mindfullness Based Weight Loss

December 31, 2016 by Adam Kemp 10 Comments

Hypnosis, Meditation and Mindfullness Based Weight Loss

In terms of losing weight, the biggest challenge for many individuals is not the willingness to exercise, or the ability to know right from wrong in food choices.

Often, the biggest issue with people looking to improve their physique is that they cannot stay consistent in avoiding poor quality foods, or consistent with motivation to train.

To help with this, scientists and doctors have searched through a wide range of external assisting methods to improve focus and consistency, ranging from supplementation, to mental therapy.

Similar to yoga practice, practicing hypnosis and meditation have both shown the unique ability to help athletes (or anyone looking to improve their body figure) remain focused and diligent with their nutrition, and training by converting the brain to a focused tool which you can use to enhance your body.

The Research

Believe it or not, there have been many different studies done on the ability of hypnosis to assist with weight loss.

One study which was posted in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology from 1996 declared after 3 separate and independent studies that, “averaged across post treatment and follow-up assessment periods, the mean weight loss was 6.00 lbs. (2.72 kg) without hypnosis and 11.83 lbs. (5.37 kg) with hypnosis.”

Although the method of this study is not entirely clear, the result certainly is.

Due to the nature of the study itself, it can be assumed that the intention of the hypnosis was to correct cognitive brain recognition of positive and negative choices in life, which led to a greater overall weight loss following the hypnosis treatment.

Furthermore, the article goes on to state that, “correlational analyses indicated that the benefits of hypnosis increased substantially over time.”

Meaning, the more your practice hypnosis, the more results you will have! It certainly is unique, but it makes sense!

Mindfulness Based Weight-Loss

Hypnosis itself may be difficult for the average person to practice on their own, but it does not mean that you cannot find alternative ways to accomplish your goals in a similar fashion.

Mindfulness based weight-loss is essentially a group of concepts which would include hypnosis, meditation, yoga, and other forms of weight loss which value the concept of correcting cognitive brain recognition of right and wrong weight loss choices.

Simply, this would help you say no to that extra dessert or alcoholic drink, and help you stay more focused on your goals over the course of a day, a week, a month, etc.

As stated in the journal Eating Behaviors “Mindfulness-based approaches are growing in popularity as interventions for disordered eating and weight loss. Initial research suggests that mindfulness meditation may be an effective intervention for binge eating.”

To further expand on this statement and this concept, the journal Appetite conducted an experiment involving 62 women to determine the actual effectiveness of this approach to weight loss.

According to the study, “At 6 months’ intervention participants showed significantly greater increases in physical activity compared to controls (p < .05) but no significant differences in weight loss or mental health.

However, when intervention participants who reported ‘never’ applying the workshop principles at 6 months (n = 7) were excluded, results showed both significantly greater increases in physical activity (3.1 sessions per week relative to controls, p < .05) and significantly greater reductions in BMI (0.96 relative to controls, equivalent to 2.32 kg, p < 0.5).

Reductions in BMI were mediated primarily by reductions in binge eating.”

This study once again proves that this type of approach to weight loss can have significant positive impacts, and should be seriously considered by anyone looking to improve their physique on a long-term scale.

Concluding Thoughts

Although it controls just about every single function in our entire body, the brain is often overlooked when it comes to losing weight, and improving your physique.

Yoga, meditation, hypnosis and an overall mindfulness based weight loss approach all have significant benefits which most people probably never think of.

Ask yourself, when you think about losing weight, is a weight room or a treadmill the first though which comes to your mind?

This may be a short-term solution, but if you do not have the diligence or consistent attitude to stick with an exercise routine or a diet plan over the course of a month, 6 months, a year, 10 years, it will remain difficult to stay in the physical condition which you are dreaming of!

Look at these unique approaches to guiding you on your fitness journey, and help yourself find your best “you” ever!

  • Temple of Apollo Epikourios at Bassae, Greece. 
Wow! This place was enormous.. Today was the last of a 3-day break we have, and we picked a perfect place to visit! It was nice to learn some history of the Greek god Apollo as well.
Seeing as it’s Earth Day, I had to share one photo we took while driving to the temple. The picture doesn’t do it justice, but I had to try!

  • Today we visited the Temple of Apollo Epikourios. It took us ~2 hours to drive up through the mountains to get to the temple, but the ride was beautiful! Unfortunately, we hit some traffic on the way back down the mountain! hahaha

  • Ancient Elis, Greece.
In Greek Antiquity this was one of the largest cities in Greece. Although the Ancient city is just ruins now, you can still feel the aura every step! One of the biggest contributions of this ancient city was that the Olympic Games were “planned” here, and athletes from across the world gathered here before the original Olympic Games were officially hosted in Olympia. •

  • Katakolon, Greece. 
The town itself you can pretty much see in its entirety on my 2nd photo. @Anna_Targoniy and I spent about an hour just sitting by the sea, and watching the water and the people fishing off the docks. There are some great wine/olive tours here that we didn’t do, but it was still an amazing place to see!

  • Today @Anna_Targoniy and I visited Katakolon, Greece.

Later I will post some other photos from this amazing little town, but I was so excited I had to post this first 😂 @olybeea.gr is by far the best honey I’ve ever had in my life! I’ve ate local New York honey forever, but this was just a whole different level! Also they have an incredible “mantra” about the connection between bees, honey, and life in general that I think is great. •
Katakolon is a high-traffic port for excursions in the Mediterranean so if anyone happens to come through here, I highly recommend you check out their shop! Personally, I’m excited to go back and try their Royal Jelly and other honey products!!
