Diet Pills and Fun Snow Time

“What do you think about diet pills?” a client asked me this week. “Not much” I replied. The side effects are too horrible to contemplate. If you fancy risking paranoia or wearing an adult nappy because your bowels are too loose then go ahead!

There are lots of people making lots of money from suckers who think diet pills will help. Some have herbs, some have talcum powder and none are medically endorsed.

I am tempted to shout this next sentence “THERE IS NO QUICK FIX”. The only way to lose weight permanently and safely is to change your eating and exercising habits. If you are indulging in self destructive behaviour we need to get to the bottom of this and help you change it. Hypnotherapy really helps this by changing how you think about many unhelpful situations. Under hypnosis the unconscious mind relaxes and becomes open to new behaviours and beliefs.

It’s snowing as I write this and how lovely to see the children all having fun outside in the school playground. If youngsters spent more time running around playing instead of holed up with computers and X-boxes etc we would have a lot healthier and slimmer teenage population. When did it become so scary to let the kids play out?

SIt Up Straight To Help Weight Loss

One of my top tips to help become aware of when you are full is to eat at the table. This is good for your digestion as your stomach is not squashed as it would be eating on the sofa.

Australian researchers have found that having good posture enables food to reach the lower part of your stomach sooner so letting you know you are full quicker.

My mother had a wooden spoon to hand to whack elbows that found their way onto the table! To put elbows on you have to slouch.

So to avoid eating more that you need (and the wooden spoon), do as your mother told you and “SIT UP STRAIGHT AT THE TABLE”

Sleep More and Lose Weight More effectively

Sleeping less inhibits weight loss and contributed to weight gain. A new study published by the University of Chicago verified this in a new study published in October 2010. They found that those on a diet who had less sleep lost less fat compared to those who had adequate sleep. Cutting back on sleep reduced fat loss by 55%.

People who sleep less also have higher ghrelin levels which reduce energy and stimulate hunger.

More information on the study can be found here.

It is a very common complaint of my weight loss clients that they sleep poorly. However the good news is that when they listen to my Hypnotherapy cd’s as they go to sleep they sleep better and wake more refreshed. I don’t tell clients that this may be a ‘side effect’ of our work together but hear the response of sleeping better again and again.
