Weight Loss through Hypnosis with Blane Driscoll

Our program for 1/31/12 was given by Blane Driscoll. He talked about weight loss, and methods to make a weight loss permanent.
His first point was to tell us that each pound of fat is 3500 calories. The way to reduce your weight is to increase your burning of calories daily, or to reduce your daily intake of calories. It is not quite as simple as that, however.
Just like quitting smoking, it takes a mental change to be successful. To quit smoking, you have to train your subconscious mind to think you are a nonsmoker, and your body, in about 25 days, will have accepted that as a fact, and your smoking will end. To lose weight, you have to either increase your activity, or reduce your calorie intake. When you reset the sensors in your brain, it takes about 20 to 25 days before the body accepts the lower calorie intake and the weight loss begins. One way to reset the sensors in the brain is to use hypnosis, where the change is immediate, but it still takes time for the weight to go away. (Story by Tad Shaw and photo by Steve Frazier)
