GASTRIC BAND Hypnosis

Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.  ~Author Unknown

Sheila Granger's Virtual Gastric Band Hypnosis program is a safe, effective , highly successful alternative to bariatric surgery.  The VGB program makes eating enjoyable, satisfying and weight loss easy to accomplish.   Over eating becomes habit and hypnosis is effective in eliminating  harmful habits.  When is comes to weight control, the issues are vast, family eating patterns,  eating as a substitution for something missing in one's life, eating for comfort and in some situations a form of protection.  Sheila and Marc's recently published workbook outlines the 8 rules and gives the reader the tools to keep track of food choices.    Hypnosis gives the client the mind set to reach their goals.  An article in Elle magazine describes one type of hypnotic band program.

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. 

How large are your food portions?

My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four.  Unless there are three other people.  ~Orson Welles

The USDA has realeased a new food guide... finally one that makes visual sense... we eat one meal at a time, usually on a round plate and understanding what a healthy portion size looks like is key to filling that plate properly.   Finally a guide that can be duplicated on your plate. As a home ec teacher, although I used the pyramid to help students sort food groups, we always used paper plates to plan a meal.. not only considering the portion size but the appeal of color combinations and even being able to image the flavors and how well they work together... Now my suggestion ,. when you sit down to enjoy your fantastic meal...use a smaller plate.. 9 inch is a good size..  

The Rules

To lengthen your life, shorten your meals.  ~Proverb

Three small meals a day can make all the difference in the world when it comes to a healthy life.   Feeling full and enjoying every bite takes  conscious effort.  Do you really know how many calories you are consuming in one sitting or for that matter while you are watching TV or at the computer?  Research shows that minimal caloric intake can add years to your life... we are not talking about a restrictive diet..let's talk about a realistic plan.. eating the foods you enjoy... tasting the favors and pushing away from the table .. visualizing a smaller portion and knowing that you are not being deprived of anything.    Changing habits and setting realistic goals, that reinforce and encourage you to stay on task.. hypnosis is a powerful tool..it allows you to change habits.. and forgive and release limiting beliefs you may have when it comes to food and your self image
