Another use for hypnosis: Weight loss
I've heard of using hypnosis to quit smoking, but this is a new one for me: using hypnosis to lose weight. It makes sense, really, because if hypnosis is successful in breaking an addiction, it could be used to break someones addiction to food, right?A hypnotist will delve deep into the subconscious of his or her patient to unravel deep set thoughts and beliefs regarding food. Does it sound like a load of hooey to you? Apparently it works, and the hypnotist quoted in the article claims that 100% of her patients have lost weight. Whether they've kept it off is another question.
What do you think? Effective dieting strategy or a scam?

To be honest, I think this is a scam. Mainly because two years ago, my mother underwent hypnosis to stop smoking. It worked for two weeks; however, the minute some serious stress came into her life, she started smoking again. Hypnosis to lose weight, I'm sure, would be the same problem. Especially those who are emotional eaters. The only way to effectively lose weight is to eat right, and exercise. Why can't America grasp this?
