NLP for Weight Loss

NLP for Weight Loss

Weight loss is simple - not easy, often far from easy, but simple, and using NLP for weight loss can make the process easier.

Weight Loss ispurely about the numbers - Calories in verses Calories out.

And while it is true that for some people there are other issues such as glandular problems that stop them losing weight, for most of us there really is no excuse for not being reasonably healthy and trying to blame our genes or our glands is counterproductive.

So how can we use NLP to improve those numbers? Can we speed up the process by using NLP for weight loss?

Calories In

Firstly looking at the left part of the equation - Calories In.

So how do you cut the calories?

There are a number of ways to make this easier. Firstly, many people eat too quickly. This means that they do not realize that they are full until too late.

Also many of us our brought up believing that we should clear out plate!

If you believe that you should clear your plate, then use the Belief Disintegrator to get rid of this one.

Most people have particular foods, that they just cannot avoid.

For some people its chocolate, or it could be cake, or fizzy drinks.

To deal with these, use the Compulsion Blowout.

Calories Out

Now lets look at the other half of the equation for using NLP for weight loss - Calories Out.

There is only really one way to increase you calorie output.

That is to get your body moving.

The more the better.

Now depending upon you current weight and health, the idea of going to a gym may be absolutely frightening or even unhealthy.

Assuming that you are not endangering yourself by going to the gym (please check with your doctor), use the swish pattern so that you think of the gym in a more resourceful way.

Also run through the Get Motivated exercise to get yourself motivated to get down the gym, or to get outside and walk or run.

Remember you do not need to bust a gut to lose weight, and for many people this isn't practical or safe.

You just need to get moving and raise your heart rate a little.

A regular (daily if possible) hours walk will help tremendously, especially if you cut out some of those compulsive foods.

Do you believe you can lose weight?

Do you believe you can avoid the foods that are bad for you?

If you have any doubts run the Belief Creator with the following concepts:

  • I can control my weight and lower it at will
  • I enjoy exercising
  • I can improve my health
  • I am in control of my own body

And finally, learn to read the food labels and choose your foodstuffs wisely.

As well as using NLP for weight loss, major weight loss is a long term prospect, made up of lots of little changes.

While NLP techniques can help tremendously, you still have to put in the work yourself.

While using nlp for weight loss should give you a good boost, there is a related article about weight loss using Hypnosis on HypnoticPlanet.com, along with an article on using self hypnosis for weight loss, along with a self hypnosis script for weight loss.

Good Luck!

I've been trying to lose weight for years. Is NLP really going to help me? I don't feel that confident doing the exercises. Is there something else I can do that isn't as complicated?

Perhaps you need to work on your confidence or beliefs first. NLP can definately help you, but you are going to have to put some effort in whether you use NLP for weight loss or another approach.
