According to Brunilda Nazario, MD of WebMD (5/5/09), the health problems associated with obesity are numerous. Obesity is not just a cosmetic problem. It's a health hazard. Someone who is 40% overweight is twice as likely to die prematurely as is an average-weight person. This is because obesity has been linked to several serious medical conditions, including:
Doctors generally agree that the more obese a person is the more likely he or she is to have health problems. Doctors also agree that people who are 20% or more overweight can gain significant health benefits from losing weight. Many obesity experts also believe that people who are less than 20% above their healthy weight should still try to lose weight if they have certain risk factors. Dr. Keli suggests that you contact your physician to discuss any such risk factors.
Hypnosis can assist you to lose weight by easily changing your eating and exercise habits. It is important to realize that you must be willing to make some changes in order to release the weight. There have been many people who have come in to see Dr. Keli with a desire to lose weight but are unwilling to change their eating habits. It doesn’t work like that! Hypnosis is not doing to suck the excess weight out of your body without your effort! You must be willing to alter your eating and/or exercise behaviors. If you are willing to do so, hypnosis is an outstanding tool to help you easily lose weight.
Some people have a more complex issue with food, in that they are addicted to food. For many people, food is their “drug” of choice. It a case such as that, we will work on the addiction first and then work on food and or exercise changes that are needed for you to be a long term success.
During your first session, Dr. Keli will do an assessment to determine if your excess body weight is due to an addiction or poor eating and/or exercise habits.
