The AKL Belfast Hypnotherapy Way
When dealing with losing weight we believe in a common sense approach. It is encouraging to see so much positive information in the press these days about our diet and in particular healthy eating. Food should be enjoyed, so let's choose to eat more sensibly. This is the real secret to lose weight, to become slimmer, healthier and fitter.
Our Belfast and Downpatrick hypnotherapists use modern hypnosis and NLP techniques to help you to regain control over the decisions you make about your diet. Hypnotherapy will also motivate you to increase activity levels and to develop healthy eating habits. At AKL we use analytical and suggestion hypnotherapy that incorporates positive mental imagery and visualisation techniques to encourage the sub-conscious mind to motivate you to become slimmer and more healthier.
Lose Weight to become More Healthy
It is well evidenced that being overweight can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, strokes, breathing problems, diabetes, joint problems, depression and lack of confidence. Our hypnotherapists can help you to live more healthy by investing in your long term quality of life.
Our Relationship with Food
Eat to live, not live to eat. Food has become ingrained in our lifestyle and we have learnt inappropriate eating behaviours. Often as children we were bribed or treated with sweet food. In adult life we celebrate a success in our lives by treating ourselves with a meal or a nice cake. Then when we are feeling down we eat to make us feel better.
Diets alone have short term results.
The simple fact is that diets alone do not work for the majority of people. A Diet's purpose is to lose weight by restricting the amount of food we eat for a period of time. Usually there are some short term results but without developing lifestyle changes and planning for the future, then motivation can waver. Research shows that over 90% of weight that is lost on short term diets is put back on and a person can often feel that they have failed. These diets are often labelled Yo-Yo diets and can have detrimental psychological affect. At AKL we believe that a healthy state of mind will help to bring about healthy lifestyle changes by exercising choice and control.
Cormfort Eating
Our hypnotherapists are trained to explore the many deep rooted reasons why people are overweight. People often eat to mask real feelings and this is often called ‘Comfort eating’. The AKL team will help you to focus on every aspect of your life rather than just what you eat.
