Have you had it with dieting? Do you take off a couple of pounds, and gain back more? Do you get your hopes up whenever a "miracle" diet comes down the pike, only to find out that you still cannot beat your compulsions?

What you really need is a diet that will let you lose weight by sitting in front of the television. Think it's a daydream? Continue reading.

You have read and probably heard the statistics: We are 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 numerous explanations, but here is one that I don't think you've heard: We have been programmed, hypnotized--if you will--to procure and devour more and larger portions of everything, principally junk food, sugary soft drinks and fast food.

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

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

Commercials are carefully crafted to entice and motivate you. They can literally make your mouth water as you watch a sizzling steak being delivered to a table or a delicious candy bar being devoured by an overly happy, and healthy looking 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 video is zoomed in on the candy bar so it covers the entire television screen. You practically see every grain of processed sugar, 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 stored deep in your unconscious when you watched commercials long ago. Can you see how influential the video images on television can be? Yes, they can control even your physical reactions!

If you're familiar with hypnosis, then you know that it is the alpha level of consciousness. You pass through this dream like state of mind as you fall asleep at night. And you pass through dream like state again as you awaken in the morning. Research has demonstrated that if you watch much television, you are in this alpha state for two-thirds of your viewing time. What can you do to overcome this programming?

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

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

The average person feels cravings and oral urges for two main reasons: A. When a man feels tense, he feels compelled to put something into his mouth because it provides relaxation and pleasure.

B. When a man 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 seventy percent of our population learns much more quickly and easily by seeing, rather then by what they hear. Think about it: If you sense an urge to eat or smoke while watching television, it is because your mind recorded the video image of either food in your hand, or a cigarette in your hand, and then associated that image, with the mental picture of the television. From that point on, every time that you watch TV, your unconscious flashes the mental movie of the cigarette or food in your hand, and you feel urges and cravings.

So you have actually "programmed" your unconscious to make you feel urges and cravings as a "conditioned response" to watching television. The same thing happens when you eat when you see someone else eating, etc.

Video weight loss hypnosis will erase the conditioned responses. It will retrain your unconscious 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 after watching video lose weight hypnosis, you will 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 shocking thoughts, you feel stressed and upset. If you think blissful thoughts, you feel happy and cheerful.

If you think a disturbing thought while you are working on your computer, your mind can associate that thought with the computer. And thereafter, when you are working on your computer, you have a conditioned response, your mind flashes to that shocking 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 symptoms, to eliminate your symptoms.

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