THE HYPNOTIC CENTRE

Weight Loss – The Virtual Gastric Band

The Virtual Gastric Band Programme is a four session programme of Hypnotherapy that is conducted with a client face to face. The program is designed to change how someone thinks about food, to enable the client to adopt a new set of eating habits, by making some small realistic changes that the client can realistically live with.

It is not a diet - clients eat what they want - but are trained to be satisfied on smaller amounts. Portion control is addressed from the very first session, by utilising the concept of a virtual gastric band.

The programme also has numerous elements to address emotional aspects of eating:

• craving control
• food choices
• motivation and exercise
• using metaphors for change, and
• goal setting.
