Slimfast
Mark Giordani, using Slimfast started to complain of hunger all the time. And nothing seemed to satisfy him. "I went back to the attitude where I'm hungry, I'm going to eat and I don't really care."
Despite expert intervention that is not available to most people, he couldn't wait for the diet challenge to end. To quote Mark: "I'm going to IHOP tomorrow, and I'm getting the whole left side of the menu."
Obviously, if it needs expert intervention, it's not likely to work on its own. Also, a lot of specialized food has to be bought. Hardly a recipe for success if you attempt to live life normally.
Atkins
The Atkins participant, Rick Burnes, had headaches, terrible constipation, and developed a painful case of gout, that he believed was a result of the diet. Even with help from a top Atkins researcher, special "Atkins at home" meals and medical intervention he ended up gaining 24 pounds. Enough said.
So, could this plan be called a lifestyle? Definitely not. As well as having to buy expensive food, there had to be intervention from an expert.
Weight Watchers
Kathy Wynters, doing Weight Watchers, refused to weigh in, but after the diet immediately went for deserts and chocolates. To quote her: "The desserts and the chocolates. I had them, I wanted them and I had them."
And she began putting on weight. This happened twice, even with expert supervision.
It was significant that this woman had tried this program before. The fact that she was even more overweight when she started the program this time was a perfect indicator that the program had not produced any serious change in her lifestyle or metabolism. Also, expert 'supervision' was required again. Obviously things go downhill when the supervision is ended?
Jorge Cruise
Eleanor Talbot, did the Jorge Cruise program. After having problems, Dateline arranged a weekend retreat to help Eleanor, and intervention from the programs founder.
Later, she had to go back for even more support in dealing with emotional issues. This support is not readily available for most people. And it didn't really help her.
Again, she needed constant, expensive personal support. Keep in mind that although it is often vital to address emotional problems when losing weight, this is generally ignored with most programs.
Marathon Training
Lynn Frank tried marathon training. She also stuck to 1300 a day. She was trained by a leading expert. But progress was unsatisfactory. So Lynn received expert intervention from a nutritionist and exercise physiologist. Even though she did lose weight, she required extensive coaching and suffered a lot of pain and injury.
Let's face it - expert coaching is not a realistic lifestyle.
Keep in mind that all the above participants had expert intervention not available to most. This shows that it's not likely to work "out of the box". Much expensive, specialized food had to be bought. Even with the extra help the results were poor at best.
Hypnosis
Marc Merlis tried Hypnosis. No doubt he was the toughest case - a pastry chef with cravings, and a difficult schedule. After only three months Marc had lost more than any of the other participants - an incredible 40 pounds.
Hypnosis motivated Marc to enthusiastically work with a fitness trainer, and to eat properly and with natural control
That's when his wife got in on the action. She went to the hypnotist to quit smoking. And guess what? Smoke free, and fat free.
Very interesting is that using hypnosis, Marc did not suffer. He was happy. Changes occurred naturally. Not to mention other positive benefits and feelings. AND he established a true and realistic lifestyle.
In summary, losing weight successfully is not about dieting, but rather a sensible lifestyle that can be readily accepted. Hypnosis facilitates this admirably. It is not a quick-fix, but a solution aimed at lasting and long-term success. It is also interesting to note that a hypnotist could also have addressed the problems the other participants were having with their motivation, emotions, attitude and willpower.
Study after study shows that hypnosis is the most successful and affordable method for weight loss, as well as many other behavior changes. Hypnosis can truly be a light at the end of the tunnel for so many who have failed with other methods, or simply given up hope.
I hope you agree that hypnosis was the clear winner.
