www.insideHALTON.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Thursday, February 9, 2012 · 14 Take control of your life with weight management hypnotherapy Anyone who has tried losing weight knows that it is a process that can be challenging. Whether your desire for chocolate cake has taken over after a stressful workweek, or you continue to make excuses as to why you cannot make it to the gym `tonight,' for many people there will always be an excuse to fall back on. Thankfully, for those who are tired of making excuses and want to take control of their life and weight, Oakville's top rated weight management consultant Dr. Tanouja Rama Ph.D., CH, NGH Certified Hypnotherapist is committed to seeing you succeed. She knows that most of us do not eat just for nutritional value, but for a love of food as well as for an uncontrolled need to soothe emotions. To help make sense out of how she uses hypnotherapy to help her clients, Dr. Rama has answered some frequently asked questions about her services below. · How does hypnotherapy better help me in my weight loss journey more than good old-fashioned exercise? Hypnotherapy is a different tool to help you lose weight. Some people find it difficult to lose weight with nutrition and exercise only because eating is associated with emotions, stress, feelings, etc... There is no weight management program out there that takes in account nutrition and emotions, but mine does. Some examples of how eating is associated with emotions include, eating when you're stressed, sad, or bored, feeling that you need to eat to celebrate any moment in life, eating because of low self-esteem or having carvings for sugar, salt or fatty food. · Who benefits the most/ the least from this type of weight management? My weight management program is for people who want to lose weight and want to learn how to keep the pounds off by making healthier choices, however this is not a program for people who want fast results with restricted food options. This is also ideal for people with family, because the whole family benefits from healthy eating. My oldest client is 78 and youngest 11. · I have tried so many different programs and have never got the results I have wanted - how do I know I will do any better with your program? Yes you'll do better with my program because I take in account your lifestyle, your taste, your situation, your emotions and you leave my office with so much knowledge. Most of my clients lose weight the first week. My standard program is 8 weeks; clients have a special diet to lose weight as well as a maintenance diet that suits them on a long-term basis. · Will hypnotherapy be a constant part of my life now? Hypnotherapy is a tool to help you make changes in your life. Once the change is made in your mind, it stays like this unless you want to make another change. For example, hypnotherapy will help to dissociate food with stress and associate stress with relaxation (breathing, walking, reading...). · What are the health risks of weight management hypnotherapy? There is no risk when a certified professional performs hypnotherapy.
