Have you had it with dieting? Do you take off a couple of pounds, and gain back more? Do you get your hopes up each time a new “miracle” diet comes down the pike, only to find out that you still aren’t able to beat your cravings and urges?

What you really need is a diet that lets you lose weight by sitting in front of the television. Think it’s a dream? Keep reading.

You have read and heard the information: Society is getting fatter than any time in history. From young child to old adult, the numbers tell the tale: Obesity is a plague. Why?

There are lots of explanations, but here is one that I don’t think you’ve heard: We have been programmed, hypnotized–if you will–to procure and eat more and larger portions of everything, mainly junk food, sugary soft drinks and fast food.

How did this come about? What could possibly have such a dominant, insidious result on so many millions of people? The answer is sitting in your living room. It is your television.

Yes, advertisers have slowly and purposely hypnotized you. They sell their empty calories using the most powerful and effective marketing medium ever created: television commercials.

Commercials are carefully crafted to entice and motivate you. They can actually make your mouth water as you watch a sizzling steak being delivered to a table or a delectable candy bar being devoured by a happy, and physically fit actor.

What is happening during these commercials? You are being hypnotized! Your mind is being programmed to want…even NEED…a candy bar of your own, right NOW!

The image on the TV screen is zoomed in on the candy bar so it dominates the entire TV screen. You practically see every grain of processed sugar, because they get so close!

And guess what? You are probably salivating right now, at this very moment, just from this description? Your mind has conjured up images that were stored deep in your unconscious when you watched television commercials long ago. Can you see how potent the video images on television can be? Yes, they can control even your physical reactions!

If you are familiar with hypnosis, then you know that it’s the alpha level of consciousness. You pass through this daydream like state of mind as you fall asleep at night. And you pass through this daydream like state again as you wake up in the morning. Research has verified that if you watch much television, you are in this alpha state for two-thirds of your viewing time. What can you do to beat this indoctrination?

First, of course, you could stop watching television commercials. But what about the programming that advertisers have already embedded in your unconscious? How do you delete it and reprogram your thoughts? Video hypnosis made you gain weight, and video weight loss hypnosis will supply the solution to your problem.

If you have read this far and you still think that I am jesting, I can assure you that I’m not kidding! Video lose weight hypnosis is a reality and a US Patent was granted on the methodology! Here is a semi-technical explanation of why and how it works:

The average person experiences oral cravings and oral urges for two main reasons: A. When you feel tense, you feel compelled to put something into your mouth because it provides relaxation and pleasure.

B. When a person pairs eating with any other behavior, the other behavior will trigger cravings and a compulsion to eat.

Let us talk about Part “B” first. Over 70% of our population learns much more quickly and easily based on what they see, rather then by hearing. Think about it: If you experience an urge to eat or smoke as you watch television, it’s because your unconscious recorded the video image of either a cigarette in your hand, or food in your hand, and then associated that mental image, with the image of the television. From that point on, every time that you watch TV, your subconscious mind flashes the mental movie of the cigarette or food in your hand, and you get urges and cravings.

So you have actually “programmed” your subconscious to make you feel urges and cravings as a “conditioned response” to watching television. The same thing happens when you eat while working on your computer, etc.

Video weight loss hypnosis will erase the conditioned responses. It will reprogram your unconscious mind to have the television (or whatever) trigger unconscious images of you watching the television without eating.

When the video weight loss hypnosis makes you lose your unconscious image of food, then you will lose your appetite. When you see yourself in a behavior, you get a compulsion to generate that behavior. So with video lose weight hypnosis, you actually get a compulsion to reject food when you watch television.

But what about Part “A”? Our feelings of tension are created by our thoughts. If you think disturbing thoughts, you experience tension and upset. If you think joyful thoughts, you feel happy and relaxed.

If you think an offensive thought while you are working on your computer, your mind can associate that thought with the computer. And thereafter, when you sit down at your computer, you have a conditioned response, your mind flashes to that disturbing thought and you feel tense.

The methods used in video weight loss hypnosis are based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This technology works based on the utilization of a person’s existing thought processes instead of post-hypnotic suggestion. With Neuro-Linguistic Programming, we use the thought processes that are creating your problems, to eliminate your problems.

Video lose weight hypnosis can program your subconscious mind to use disturbing thoughts as a trigger for relaxing thoughts. So if you start to think of something that is disturbing, your unconscious will automatically change to a relaxing thought in a millisecond. You become relaxed, so there are no feelings of tension to cause you to feel oral cravings or urges. And when you lose your appetite to overeat, it’s much easier to lose weight and keep it off permanently. Medical research has proven that all of the popular diets work well. But it has also proven that most people fail with these diets because they cannot stick to them because their appetite is out of control!
