What should I eat?

"To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing".  ~Eva Young


Hypnosis is all about changing your mind to enable you to make better decisions AND TAKE ACTION....With that said when it comes to making good food choices.. we are consantly getting conflicting information about what is good for us to eat...I just read two articles from the same source and while one suggestion was to eat more of a particular food the other article suggested you stop eating that food altogether.


So now-you still don't know what is best to eat and you are THINKING MORE about FOOD.    No wonder being over-weight is a problem for so many.  Diets don't work in the long run, but you can change your habits.

anxiety about a diet

What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn't much better than tedious disease.  ~George Dennison Prentice, Prenticeana, 1860

The goal in any weight loss program is that the client (you) become comfortable with their eating patterns and that food is not a constant thought. You are  satisfied with only the amount of food that your body needs in order to live a long, healthy life.   When food no longer is a substitute for fulfilling emotional needs, comfort and a way to deal with stress you will find that your eating habits have improved, you enjoy the food you do eat and you are conscious of the choices you make.   Although mindless eating patterns must be changed in order for weight loss to occur...that doesn't mean you stop thinking about the food you are eating..no you focus as you eat in the moment, savour the wonderful taste, flavors, sense the textures and enjoy each bite.

Mind over (food) matter

"If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it." 
 ~Mary Engelbreit

Once you think differently about something the changes will come.    If you are consistantly thinking about food, then you will eat more food.  We form habits over a lifetime...eating becomes a habit...sometimes, totally out of control.   Typical diet plans make you think about food, and the more you think about food the more you want to eat it!!! On a diet-You are forced to consider these questions.
  • What can I eat for breakfast,..... lunch ...............and dinner?
  • What can I eat as a snack?
  • How much can I eat?
  • How much does the food weigh?
  • How many calories/points/portions are in that food?
  • When can I eat ?
  • What can I put on my grocery list?
  • How Many...... are allowed? 
Just reading this list makes you hungery....
Change your mind and your behaviours will change... Hypnosis deals with the subconscious mind, the mind that controls your autonomic nervous system. Changing patterns of behavior on a subconscous level and taking action will enable you to improve your quality of life.
