Do diets really fail, or is it easier to blame the diet rather than to admit the truth?

Wallington, Surrey (PRWEB UK) 19 May 2013

Pretty much every expert will agree that for someone to achieve long-term weight loss they have to make a lifestyle change. But what does lifestyle change actually mean and what needs to be done to achieve it?

These sorts of statements generally are high on you should type of advice but low on how to advice.

So, what is lifestyle change and how is it achieved with regards to long-term weight loss? When the experts say a lifestyle change what they really mean is a behavioural change. To create lifestyle change with regards to food there needs to be some significant changes in behaviour around food.

The problem with diets, and in particular fast weight loss diets, is that they rarely achieve behavioural change because the diet is seen as something they do for a while and then they can go back to enjoying themselves. So the thought processes around food stay the same, i.e. food is still a treat or reward or it will make them feel good in some way.

Paul White, the behavioural change specialist at the Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy, said Most clients have developed very negative patterns of thought and behaviour, blocking out potential long-term negative outcomes of their weight problems. By using weight loss hypnotherapy we are able to turn around those thought processes and, in doing so, change the behaviours around food on a more permanent basis.

With weight loss hypnotherapy the clients notice very quickly how their behaviours around food change. It becomes very obvious when they start developing more appropriate behaviours, not only when eating but also when buying food.

At the Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy in Surrey they seek to change their clients relationship with food. The hypnotherapist will work with the client to change the way they view food, even the way they think about food, so the client eats to live, rather than lives to eat. By doing so they remove the guilt, reduce consumption and feel happier around food.

Whilst running their weight loss programme at the Institute, they have come across virtually every type of inappropriate behaviour around food and have strategies to deal with all of them. The great thing about using something like hypnotherapy is that it does not matter if the client is dieting or not, as it works on the behaviours and when they change, the food consumption changes naturally.

Paul White has been Chairman of the National Council for Hypnotherapy for five years. He has been a Director of The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy for 11 years. He has a special interest in weight control and problem behaviours (addictions).

New Research Shows Diets Often Fail Due to Feelings of Restriction, Making Sustainable Weight Loss with Supplements Like Liproxenol More Promising

Australia (PRWEB) May 23, 2013

Most often when a person diets, he or she ends up gaining back all the weight theyve lost, if not more. Now researchers are recognizing that this happens due to feelings of deprivation, making appetite control supplements such as Liproxenol beneficial to sustaining lifelong weight loss.

On May 11, 2013, a study was released in an issue of NeuroImage which involved two groups of teens who agreed to limit the number of calories they consumed. They essentially mimicked what happens when people, generally adults, diet.

Researchers studied the brains of these adolescents to see their responses in the attention and reward areas when they were shown pictures of foods that looked appealing and unappealing, as well as images of glasses of plain old water and chocolate milkshakes.

They found that the more the teens diets were restricted, the greater responsiveness they showed with foods that were unhealthy. This may account for why people tend to gain weight when they go off a diet as they have increased their mental triggers for wanting the very foods they limited themselves from having while practicing caloric restriction.

This suggests that weight loss supplements such as Liproxenol may ease this response as it also suppresses the appetite, resulting in reduced feelings of restriction. Liproxenol is a weight loss supplement that contains all natural ingredients such as green tea, vitamin B6, cayenne powder and dandelion root. It was created by Liproxenol Nutraceuticals to increase metabolism, decrease appetite and burn excess fat.
