Recently I read an article by some researchers who had come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter what kind
of diet you try. Any of the popular diets will work to help you lose weight if you follow them. I was a little
surprised, but very encouraged to read this. Of course, the hard part about all of this is actually sticking to the
diet plan.
You know, I've always found it really hard to stick to a diet, no matter what I've tried. Those cookies and candies
and ice cream are sometimes just too appealing to resist. After reading that article I was pretty much convinced
that I was stuck with all these extra doughnuts on my hips for the rest of my life.
Then I read this information about a proven appetite suppression program that was released by Alan B. Densky, the
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) expert. He claimed his weight loss hypnosis videos could help almost anyone lose
weight. I don’t know that I’m the most challenging case in the world, but I do struggle with keeping weight off. So
I thought - well, why not give it a shot.
I was surprised to find that after watching the first couple of sessions, I noticed a big reduction in my cravings
and appetite. I could stick to the foods on my diet, and I didn’t crave those extra carbs and fats that have
plagued most of my adult years. In fact, after watching all of the videos, I found that I really don’t miss them at
all. They aren’t even appealing to me anymore.
These are not videos of a man hypnotizing you. The videos use powerful visual NLP techniques, which eliminate food
cravings, and which work quite well for people who have a poor imagination or difficulty using visual imagery. They
are also the only hypnosis videos that have ever been awarded a United States Patent. Before watching the videos I
used to tell people, "I never met a doughnut I didn’t like." Now, the doughnuts really just don’t seem to matter to
me because of "Lose
Weight In A Flash!"
Vaporize Your
Appetite!
By Veronica McNale
Do you get food cravings or eat out of stress? I do, and I have been getting fairly tired of it. After gaining
the first 30 or so pounds, I started looking at different programs and diets. One of the weight-loss strategies I
found involved a Neuro-Linguistic Programming approach called “Vaporize Your Appetite!”
The NLP practitioner who wrote it, Alan B. Densky, CH, recorded six sessions using a combination of techniques from
Ericksonian hypnotherapy and NLP. It was developed for people who, like me, struggle with overeating because of
boredom, stress responses, or habit. I thought; why not give it a shot. After all, it was inexpensive, and I hoped
it would work better than my diets had.
I started listening to the sessions on the CD's and quickly noticed a difference. I was less likely to turn to food
at the least excuse. I also began to notice that I stopped eating when I was full, and pretty much lost my cravings
for the snacks between meals.
This program isn't designed to be a miracle diet program, because to tell you the truth, it isn't a diet program at
all. What this program actually does is to suppress your appetite. No, to be really accurate I'd have to say that
what this program does is to eliminate your appetite. How? It helps you to get rid of your cravings, compulsions,
and feelings of hunger so you automatically eat less. And when you just don't have the drive to shove food in your
mouth anymore you lose weight.
My sister used this program and she lost 47 pounds. But it also works very well for those, who like me, put on a
few extra pounds each year and then struggle to get them off. If you are considering this program, remember that it
isn’t a diet plan; it's a say goodbye to feeling hungry plan.
You do have to find or make time to listen to the CDs, or they won’t be of any use. Time is the key to any weight
loss program. The weight gain didn't happen overnight, and the weight loss won't happen overnight either. If you
are looking to lose 50 lbs. within the next 30 days, then I suggest that you look in the yellow pages for a good
magician.
But if you are willing to be realistic, with this program, your eating habits will quickly change and become
healthier. Your self-esteem will improve, and you will like the way you look and feel after you check out
"Vaporize Your Appetite!" and shed those extra pounds!
My name is Sally, and I review products for a living. You've probably read many of my reviews on everything from
toasters to televisions. So I was intrigued when my boss assigned this review to me because I've had a weight
problem for years. And I've even tried hypnosis before, without any luck. For some reason, I would do well for a
while, but then I'd always lose my motivation and put the weight back on.
From my studies on the topic, I knew that when people feel stressed, they feel an urge to eat. My favorite foods
are potato chips and ice cream. And I also found out that people learn to unconsciously associate food with
whatever activity they are involved in when they eat. So if you eat when you watch TV a couple of times, sure
enough, every time you sit down to watch TV, you'll feel an urge to eat. But what was this thing about me losing my
motivation every time I started to make progress, all about?
Some people call it "yo-yo" dieting. Losing weight and then gaining it back again has become a vicious cycle, and I
felt like I would never be able to escape from it. Then I got the assignment to review this program, "Reframe
Emotional Eating!" The program utilizes Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques.
Now I'm not a therapist, so I don't have a technical explanation for you. But unlike traditional forms of
hypnotherapy, where the hypnotist gives you post-hypnotic suggestions, I understand that NLP is the science of
getting the brain to use the same thought patterns that are creating your problems, to eliminate them.
I'm a very analytical person. And the first thing that impressed me with this program is that rather than try to
sell me on the premise that it will work because it is somehow going to re-program my mind, the hypnotherapist who
made the program explained what "compulsive emotional eating" is really all about.
I always thought emotional eating was when I got upset and ate, but it turns out that type of response is actually
eating for relaxation and pleasure. Compulsive emotional eating is all about your unconscious mind doing everything
it can to intentionally make you get fat! Now I know that doesn't make much sense. But that's because you are using
conscious logic to try to understand an unconscious behavior.
The hypnotherapist on the CD, Alan B. Densky, explains that being fat can provide all sorts of emotional
protection. Like if somebody got their heart broken, becoming fat could keep them out of new relationships. That's
because staying out of relationships will eliminate the pain and heartache of any more breakups.
Or being fat could keep a married person from fooling around on their partner, so their marriage would stay intact
and the children wouldn't have to suffer. It turns out that there are as many potential benefits to being fat, as
there are overweight people.
So I started to test this program. It is really different. Rather than relaxing with my eyes closed, the program
taught me how to communicate directly with my unconscious mind with my eyes wide open. The CD was able to guide me
into arranging a set of signals, which my unconscious mind would use to answer my questions with "yes" and "no"
answers.
After I became comfortable with the process, the real fun began. The technique is called an NLP six-step reframe.
The CD guided me into asking my unconscious certain questions regarding the motivations for eating emotionally. In
my case, which is pretty classic, my unconscious motivated me to eat to intentionally make me fat.
When I'm fat I stay away from the opposite sex and out of relationships. This makes perfect sense because all of my
relationships have failed and I've had my heart broken way too many times. So now I understand why I am able to
lose a certain amount of weight, but then feel a resistance and put the weight back on. It all makes perfect sense
to me now.
Okay, so how is me knowing that information going to help? Actually, what I found out is that knowing that kind of
information is NOT going to help me. So how did this CD help me eliminate my compulsive emotional overeating? This
program works by using the process of the NLP six-step reframe. Think about it. My unconscious makes me get fat to
keep me out of relationships and protect me from being hurt. But there is more than one way to accomplish that
goal. The CD helped me negotiate with my unconscious and get it to assume the responsibility for making
me substitute some other more consciously acceptable behavior in place of being fat, which will keep me from
getting my heart broken again.
Are you wondering what the new behavior is? Well, it's personal, so I'm not going to tell you. But I will tell you
that I am now able to stay slim, and have a relationship at the same time.
The bottom line: Did the Reframe Emotional Eating! work? You betcha! I no longer lose my motivation
to eat the right foods in the right amounts. As a matter of fact, I find it easy to live without junk foods
because I just don't crave them anymore.
It feels wonderful to be slim and have a sexy body and a social life. The program recommends that you
use another program to help you with the other aspects of an appetite that is out of control. Namely stress type
eating, and unconscious associations (like food and TV) that cause you to have cravings. For that they recommend
either the "Vaporize your
Appetite!" CD's or the "Lose Weight In A Flash!" video hypnosis program. I used the video hypnosis program because
it's just easier for me to let the video do all of the work for me.
Slim & Sexy! A combination of Hypnosis
programs
By Mary Matson
I've had a weight problem for years, so when I got the assignment to review this hypnosis program I was very
excited. After all, how many other jobs actually pay you to improve yourself?
My last experience with an Internet hypnosis program had been moderately successful. I started losing weight in the
beginning, but I lost my motivation and ended up putting it all back on in the end. So I was wondering if this
program would somehow be the magic elixir that would help me to lose my weight once and for all.
The program is a combination program which actually consists of four different programs, each with its own purpose.
The hypnotherapist has bundled together all of the different programs that you'll need to be successful and he's
reduced the price to make it more affordable for you.
The quick start instruction sheet that is included in the package gave me a schedule that clearly describes when to
listen to each program.
First Day: Listen to sessions one and two of the six session "Vaporize
Your Appetite!" program. Session one gives a clear overview of how the program works, and what one must do to
be successful. It's like the consultation you would have with the hypnotherapist, Alan B. Densky, CH, if you
actually visited his office and paid the $250.00 per session fee.
He clears up all of the common misconceptions about hypnosis, and explains what makes this program different from
others on the market. While most hypnosis CD's utilize what he called "Traditional Hypnosis" as the bulk of their
program, this program only uses a small amount of Traditional Hypnosis, which is simply offering the client
post-hypnotic suggestions. Mr. Densky explains that most people of our generation were raised and trained to
analyze and question everything. And this creates a resistance to following simple post-hypnotic commands.
He explains that this program is based mainly on modern technologies that bypass this resistance. Ericksonian
Hypnotherapy is a sort of conversational hypnosis that uses stories, conversation, and metaphors to hide the
suggestions so that the conscious mind doesn't create resistance to them. And Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP),
which is a technology that is based on training the unconscious to use the same exact thought patterns and
processes that it uses to create a problem, like cravings and compulsions, to eliminate them.
Session two is the first induction of hypnosis. So I sat back in my chair and listened to Mr. Densky's soothing
voice, with some pleasant background music. It was very, very pleasant, and I sank down into the deepest state of
relaxation that I can ever recall feeling.
Day Two: Watch the entire "Lose Weight In A Flash!" video. This video is about
an hour long. And forty minutes of it is a real education that is presented in a very amusing fashion. I
learned how our excess appetite is caused by two different factors. We crave food because of stress. Putting
food into the mouth provides relaxation and pleasure.
And we also feel cravings because of unconscious associations called conditioned responses. For example, if you eat
while you are working on your computer, your unconscious will associate the two activities together, and then every
time you get in front of the computer, a picture of the food in your hand coming towards your face, flashes at the
unconscious level of mind. It is that unconscious mental picture that makes you feel cravings, and a compulsion to
eat.
Some people have a compulsion to eat because being overweight can provide emotional protection. But I'll tell you
more about that in a few minutes.
The last twenty minutes of the video is the magic elixir. It is not a video of a hypnotist hypnotizing you. It is a
programming video. This is a great technology for those of us who have a poor imagination and have a problem
visualizing. The video is really effective because it actually does the visualizing for you. You will see a series
of scenes that are exactly what the hypnotist would ask you to visualize during a hypnosis session. The scenes are
based on NLP patterns.
So for example, if one of your problems is that you've unconsciously associated food with watching the TV, what you
would see in the video is a hand. You are told to imagine this is your hand. You see your hand coming towards your
face (the screen) with food in it. Just as the food is about to go into your mouth, the picture slowly starts to
zoom away. As the picture zooms away into the distance, several changes take place in that picture. Eventually the
picture disappears, and a new picture starts to emerge from a tiny spot in the distance.
As the new picture gets closer and larger, you see a profile view of yourself, sitting and watching TV, without any
food. And you see yourself with a thin and sexy body. The video process then repeats itself several times, each
time zooming faster and faster. Within a few minutes, your unconscious mind has been programmed so that every time
you sit down to watch TV, instead of it flashing a picture of food in your hand (which makes you feel cravings), it
flashes a disassociated image of you, watching the TV without eating, and you have a slim body.
The video goes through a number of different common scenarios where people tend to associate food, but shouldn't.
It also uses the same technique to train your brain to have stressful thoughts automatically trigger thoughts that
are supposed to relax you.
Later that evening when I sat down to watch TV, which is when I generally do a lot of snacking, I didn't even have
a single thought about food. It was interesting, because I wasn't aware of anything in particular happening, but I
just didn't feel like eating at all, and it was wonderful.
Third Day: Listen to "Vaporize Your Appetite!" session three. I like the fact that Mr. Densky
prefaces each session by telling you what he is going to do and how it's going to work. This session uses an
Ericksonian metaphor. Once again, I found myself in an even deeper state of tranquility, as I listened to an
interesting story. The metaphor carries hidden messages that help you ignore the chaos in life and become a much
more relaxed person overall. Somehow it also instructs your unconscious to diminish your appetite.
Fourth Day: Listen to "Vaporize Your Appetite!" session four. Putting something into your mouth
relaxes you! Once again, in this session I felt myself enter a profound state of very deep hypnosis. The
hypnotherapist uses this session to program your unconscious to substitute pleasant memories and fantasies in place
of food and drink. This makes you feel the relaxation and pleasure that your mind and body is seeking without
consuming food, so you lose your appetite to overeat.
Fifth Day: Listen to "Vaporize Your Appetite!" session five. This session utilizes deep hypnosis
to program your unconscious to adopt new eating behaviors. Since powerful motivation is a key to success,
programming for self-esteem to create that motivation is reinforced. You are instructed to watch only the
appropriate mind programming sessions in the Neuro-VISION "Lose Weight In A Flash!" video. This takes about twenty
minutes.
Sixth Day: Listen to "Vaporize Your Appetite!" session six. Long story short, you lose your
cravings, urges, and appetite to overeat so you eat a lot less. You actually lose weight without the need for
willpower!
At the end of the first week, I did find that I felt a lot better, and interestingly, I was sleeping a lot better.
Food had become much less important to me. As a matter of fact, I just didn't seem to think much about it anymore.
I was thrilled because I had lost 5 lbs.
Twice per week from this point on: Watch only the appropriate mind programming sessions on the
“Lose Weight In A Flash!” video. This takes about twenty minutes each time. As I watched the video, even though my
eyes were wide open, I found myself entering a nice deep state of hypnosis and mellowing out.
After The Second Week: If you are finding excuses to NOT listen to and watch
the programs, or you are finding excuses to NOT stick to proper foods, listen to the “Compulsive Over Eating”
CD.
There I was at the beginning of week three, which is typically when I start to lose motivation. Sure enough, I was
starting to find excuses to NOT listen to the weight loss hypnosis sessions or pay attention to what I was eating.
I still didn't have any real cravings for food, but it was as though some part of me was trying to make my weight
loss program fail.
So per the quick start sheet, I got out the "Reframe Compulsive Overeating" CD. This is an interactive CD. You must
take an active part in the use of this program. The CD shows you how to set up a channel of communication with your
unconscious mind so it will send you signals, which either mean "yes" or "no" in answer to the questions that you
ask it.
The instructions on the CD explain that being fat can provide all sorts of emotional protection. Like if somebody
got their heart broken, becoming fat could keep them out of new relationships. Staying out of relationships will
eliminate the pain and heartache of any more breakups.
Or being fat could keep a married person from fooling around on their partner, so their marriage would stay intact
and the children wouldn't have to suffer. It turns out that there are as many different benefits to being fat, as
there are overweight people.
Weight Loss Hypnosis works by using a process called the NLP six-step reframe. Think about it. My unconscious makes
me get fat to protect me from being hurt. The CD helped me negotiate with my unconscious and get it to assume the
responsibility for motivating me to substitute some other behavior that is as effective and available at providing
the emotional protection that I need. And the beauty is that the new behavior is more consciously acceptable to me
than being fat is.
The bottom line is that this process works and my motivation to continue to do all of the things that help me to
lose my appetite, and my weight has returned with a vengeance. So I was able to continue on with my regular
schedule of listening to “Vaporize Your Appetite!” sessions and watching the programming sessions on the “Lose
Weight In A Flash!” video.
After The Third Week: Start listening to the “Urge To Exercise!” CD. If you can
get in more than one session of self-hypnosis daily, then use the “Urge To Exercise!” CD for one of those
sessions. Exercise has never been a great interest of mine, but now that I was feeling more relaxed, and I was
losing weight, I felt open to at least listening to this CD to see what would happen. The short version is
that, as the title so aptly puts it, I did start to feel an urge to exercise. So I started a simple exercise
program and found that now I actually do enjoy exercise and I even look forward to it!
Conclusion: Slim & Sexy! isn't a crash diet program. As a matter of fact, it isn't a diet
program at all. It's an appetite elimination program through weight loss hypnosis. And, it's a motivation and
self-esteem program. The program includes every session that you will need to build up your motivation, feel more
relaxed and happy, and best of all, to lose your cravings, compulsions, and appetite to overeat.
If you enlist the help of any experienced hypnotherapist, you'll pay $200.00 or more for a single session. And
forget the fantasy of a one session cure and get real. Hypnotherapy is just that, therapy - NOT magic. Everyone
will need multiple sessions, especially when you are dealing with a long term and complex issue like weight
control. And that makes the moderate fee for this all inclusive program a real bargain.
In the end I lost 42 lbs. in three months. I never felt deprived or hungry or like I had to use willpower, and I've
now been able to keep the weight off for over a year. If anyone wants to forget about food and permanently lose
weight, I highly recommend the Slim & Sexy weight loss
hypnosis program.
