Many people seek professional help because of being “overweight”, but who decides what is a “normal” weight? For many it is a personal decision, because they are not happy with the way they look or feel.
For others it is a decision based on medical advice. Since 1972 the Body Mass Index has been used to indicate whether a person is carrying too much fat as a proportion of body weight. You can calculate your BMI here. A body mass index of 30 or greater indicates obesity, i.e. a person is carrying too much body fat for their height and sex.
The USA and the UK have the highest obesity levels in the world, with 48% of men and 43% of women in the UK predicted to be obese by 2030. Some experts believe obesity is responsible for more ill health than smoking. Being significantly overweight is linked to a wide range of health problems, including: diabetes, heart disease, High blood pressure, arthritis, indigestion, gallstones, some cancers (eg, breast and prostate cancers), snoring and sleep apnoea, stress, anxiety, and depression and infertility.
Dennis Richards offers a range of hypnotherapy techniques to support you in losing weight through modifying your eating and exercise habits. One particularly popular approach is hypnotic gastric banding, which involves hypnotising the client into believing that they have had a gastric band fitted, so that the client feels full after eating much smaller meals. A teacher recently lost 8 stones in 14 months using this method (see The Daily Mail, 30/12/11). Dennis also uses other techniques to eliminate cravings for particular foods and increase burning of fat.
Clinical trials have shown hypnotherapy to be effective in taking weight off and keeping it off, whereas crash diets are ineffective and unhealthy.
