NOW the clocks are set to daylight saving time, people are headed for summer and the silly season- barbecues, the beach, picnics, pools and parties.
For those who are carrying a few extra kilos, now’s the time to start slimming into summer.
More easily said than done, of course, with the party season looming, but help is at hand.
Acumen Clinical Hypnotherapy has developed a five-week program that motivates clients to make healthy food choices and engage in physical exercise, incorporating the popular gastric band hypnotherapy.
The program is safe and simple: a clinical hypnotherapist talks through a simulated gastric band procedure, prompting people to imagine that you have had the gastric band fitted.
This trains the mind to think the stomach capacity is smaller, so that people feel full and are satisfied with much smaller portions of food.
Clinical hypnotherapist Sergo Olortegui said: “The five-week program is tailored to each individual’s weight-loss goals and challenges.
“We work through negative food associations, self-esteem issues and subconscious barriers to help clients develop a healthy relationship with food.
“This program offers a fresh and effective approach to reaching and maintaining a healthy weight.
“I myself lost 11 kilograms and 12 centimetres around the waist in just six months—my GP and my friends are amazed and I feel great.”
Combined with healthy food choices and regular exercise, gastric band hypnosis provides a powerful support for those aiming to lose weight.
Sergo added: “The lead up to Christmas and the party season is an ideal time to prepare the mind to take better care of the body by eating and drinking in moderation.”
