Change the Way you Eat using Hypnosis

Change the Way you Eat using Hypnosis

Once you’ve identified what your unhealthy eating habit is- why you eat- the next step is to change the way you eat. Most of us eat mindlessly. We eat fast while we’re doing something else like watching TV. We are unaware of eating. Through hypnosis you can eat mindfully instead of mindlessly. Eating mindfully means to be fully aware of the eating experience. Now to lose weight, you must eat less. But you must still feel satisfied or else you’ll binge. By eating mindfully you can eat less and still feel satisfied.

Through hypnosis you can eat mindfully and cut your portions in half. Whatever you normally eat, you can cut it in half. Using smaller plates, you can have half the plate with vegetables, a quarter of your plate with lean protein, and a quarter of your plate with grains. And you can have fruit for dessert. Through hypnosis you can cut your portions in half and eat little and often.

Through hypnosis you can become more mindful of your food. You can make the eating experience pleasurable. When you’re at home, you can set the table using nice fancy plates. Smaller plates, but nice plates. Flowers on the table and a nice tablecloth. Make the eating experience enjoyable. Focus only on eating. No TV. No reading. Become aware only of eating. If you’re with your family and friends you can enjoy conversation with them. When you sit down to eat, you can visualize a fireplace. You can visualize your body burning up food and fat like a fireplace burns up an old log. You can say to yourself “my body burns up food and fat like a fireplace burns up an old log.” You can have an attitude of gratitude for your food, being grateful for all that it took to get your food to your table. And you can use all your senses. You can look at the color of your food, the shape of your food. You can hear the sound of your food when you’re chewing it. You can feel the texture of your food in your mouth. You can smell the aroma of your food and taste the flavor of your food. Every so often you can put down your fork or spoon and take some deep breaths, imagining you’re using a bellows to add oxygen to a fire to keep it burning.

I was watching my dog eat once, and he inhales his food. Remember, we’re not dogs. We can enjoy our food and eat slowly. Using hypnosis you can eat mindfully. When you eat mindfully, you’ll be more aware of when you’re almost full and stop. You’ll be able to eat less and enjoy it more.
