In the western world we enjoy rerlative luxury compared to the rest of the planet but it comes at a price. There are more than sixty million Americans who are obese with the UK increasing in obesity numbers every year also. Our children are also following in our footsteps as child obesity has doubled in the States since 1980 and has gotten so out of hand in the UK that the government had to step in and ban certain foods from schools!

Developing a weight problem or being obese is much more than just an uncomfortable or embarrassing condition. With it comes a dramatic increase in the risk of developing debilitating illnesses or even death through the likes of diabetes, clogged arteries or heart disease. These are serious illness that can cause lifelong hardship or even lead to early death!

So how do we combat this? Well hypnosis is one solution! Hypnosis is a technique that spans thousands of years and is designed to gain access to your subconscious mind where your beliefs and behavioural patterns are stored. Through the use of hypnosis it is possible to reprogram these beliefs and behaviours relatively quickly and easily. It has consistently worked well with smoking cessation, nail biting, nervous disorders, eczema and other health and behavioural conditions. So it should come as no surprise that it can also be used to re-program your eating and exercise habits. The process is simple – a hypnotist will usually get the client to understand where their eating behaviour started and the reasons behind it. This behaviour is usually linked to emotional issues rather than a physical need to eat. The client is then gently guided into a state of deep relaxation. The mind and body are brought to a resting state before the hypnotist gives them carefully worded post hypnotic affirmations that are designed to create deep changes in their behaviour and habits.

Post hypnotic suggestions are extremely powerful and work very effectively to change your habits and former conditioning. The use of post hypnotic suggestions is of utmost importance when using hypnosis. However, a competent hypnotherapist will always address the deeper emotional issues connected to overeating and also remove those before replacing them with good habits.

The key then to any weight loss program is to first address the reasons why you are overeating and eliminate them. Using hypnosis and the hypnotic state is the quickest way and most efficient way of achieving this. It is also the quickest way to retrain your mind into good eating and exercise habits. Try it, you may just like it!

As a dietary fat, it’s no surprise that people generally treat all oils as fattening. However, oils from palm family can help burn fat and lose weight instead. Coconut oil is one of them.

Much credit goes to the way the saturated fat in the tropical oil behaves.

While most vegetable and animal fats are almost chemically structured as long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) which are difficult to break down by our body and be used as energy, coconut oil holds a significant amount (about 64%) of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) that our body can readily convert to energy and step up its metabolism.

In other words, it doesn’t work like other dietary oils as what people think it will. It works very similarly to carbohydrate except for the fact that during energy conversion, coconut oil doesn’t trigger insulin release as opposed to carbohydrate since MCFA does not require insulin as a carrier. MCFAs can permeate the cell membranes and supply energy directly to cells.

On top of that, coconut oil makes you feel full easily so you won’t think of eating more food which may cause over-eating and thus consume more calories than you need to. It’s a natural appetite suppressant, more effective than slimming pills that are typically designed to help suppress appetite and lose weight.

In fact, all coconut products like coconut water, coconut cream (or coconut milk), coconut meat help promote weight loss. But the oil of coconut carries more concentrated medium-chain fatty acids which can help boost metabolism to a greater degree and longer duration. It can provide thermogenic effect (fat-burning) up to 24 hours.

That’s why you hear more about the effectiveness of coconut oil on weight loss than its other products.

However, you have to consume to the point where it will step up your metabolism to help you burn fat and lose weight as a result. The recommended amount of coconut oil for weight loss is at least 3 tablespoons a day. Spread out the amount over the day. Make sure all your meals contain some amount of coconut oil.

However, there’s one thing you need to know before you get started. Because coconut oil is a potent detoxifying food, it may cause nauseousness and diarrhea-like symptoms as it tries to expel toxins out of your body if you start taking 2-3 tablespoons in the beginning. So, start with just 1 tablespoon first and let your body get used to the effect of coconut oil for about 5-7 days before you increase the amount to 2 and then to 3 tablespoons.
