Hypnosis for weight Loss—Changing habits #1



Permanent weight loss is the result of permanent changes in habits of thinking, feeling and doing (behavior). Hypnosis can increase motivation for habit change, and accelerate the habit change process.

Which habits? That all depends on what current habits keep you overweight. Over the next several days I’ll suggest some habits you might want to replace, eliminate or adopt.

This aren’t in any particular order.

#1 Don’t drink calories, unless it is a full meal.

Eliminate any drink with calories. That
includes milk, coffee with cream or sugar, sodas (even diet soda—there are plenty of good reasons to eliminate artificial sweeteners), juices. The only exception is when the beverage, such as a fruit or vegetable smoothie is your entire meal.
Here’s some examples:

Banana-Strawberry Smoothie Recipe
1 banana, frozen
6 strawberries, frozen
1 ½ cups liquid (orange juice, soy, rice or skim milk)
1 heaping tbsp. high- quality protein powder
1 tsp. flax oil (optional)
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.

Chocolate Banana Smoothie

1 cup of skim milk
1 to 2 scoops of vanilla flavored protein powder
1 heaping tbs. of cocoa powder
1 banana, frozen
1 tbs. of natural peanut butter
4 or 5 ice cubes
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.

You get the idea. These smoothies are meal replacements. Don’t replace more than one meal a day with a smoothie.

Drink water, tea (green tea may have additional weight loss benefits) without sweetener, coffee without cream or sugar, and more water.
