Have you had it with dieting? Do you lose a couple of pounds, and gain back more? Do you get your hopes up whenever a "miracle" diet arrives on the scene, only to find out that you still are not able to beat your cravings?

What you really need is a diet where you lose weight by sitting and watching TV. Think it's a fantasy? Go on and keep reading.

You have read and heard the statistics: Society is getting fatter than any time in history. From young to old, the stats tell the tale: Obesity is endemic. Why?

There are plenty of explanations, but here is one that you probably have not heard: We have been programmed, hypnotized--if you will--to purchase and consume more and larger portions of everything, chiefly junk food, sugary soft drinks and fast food.

How did this happen? What could possibly have such a powerful, insidious effect on so many millions of people? The answer is sitting in your living room. It's your TV.

Yes, advertisers have slowly and methodically hypnotized you. They market their empty calories using the most potent and effective advertising medium ever created: TV commercials.

Commercials are carefully crafted to entice and motivate. They can literally make your mouth water as you watch a sizzling steak being delivered to a table or a succulent candy bar being devoured by a happy, and physically fit actor.

What is happening to you during these commercials? You are being hypnotized! Your mind is being programmed to want...even NEED...a candy bar of your own, right NOW!

The video is zoomed in on the candy bar so it covers the entire screen. You see practically every grain of processed sugar, they get so close!

And guess what? You are probably salivating right now, at this very moment, just from this description? Your mind has conjured up images that were memorized deep in your unconscious from when you watched commercials long ago. Can you see how powerful the video images on TV can be? Yes, they can control even your physical reactions!

If you are familiar with hypnosis, then you know that it's the alpha level of consciousness. You pass through this daydream like state as you fall asleep at night. And you pass through dream like state again as you wake up in the morning. Research has proven that if you watch much TV, you are in this alpha state for two-thirds of your viewing time. What can you do to crush this indoctrination.

First, of course, you can stop watching TV commercials. But what about the programming that advertisers have already embedded in your subconscious mind? How do you delete it and reprogram your thoughts? Video hypnosis made you gain weight, and video weight loss hypnosis will present your solution.

If you have read this far and you still think that I am jesting, I promise you that I am not kidding! Video lose weight hypnosis is for real and a United States Patent was granted on the technology! Here is a semi-technical explanation of why and how it works:

The average person feels oral cravings and oral urges for two main reasons: A. When you feel tense, you feel compelled to put something into your mouth because it provides relaxation and pleasure. B. When a man pairs eating with any other behavior, the other behavior will trigger cravings and a compulsion to eat.

Let us talk about Part "B" first. Over seventy percent of our population learns much more quickly and easily based on what they see, rather then by what they hear. Think about it: If you feel an urge to eat or smoke when watching TV, it's because your mind recorded the video image of either food in your hand, or a cigarette in your hand, and then associated that image, with the mental image of the TV. From that point on, every time that you watch TV, your subconscious mind flashes the mental movie of the food or cigarette in your hand, and you feel cravings and urges.

So you have actually "programmed" your subconscious to make you feel cravings and urges as a "conditioned response" to watching TV. The same thing happens when you eat while working on your computer, etc.

Video weight loss hypnosis will extinguish the conditioned responses. It will program your subconscious to have the TV (or whatever) trigger unconscious images of you watching the TV without eating.

When the video weight loss hypnosis makes you lose your unconscious image of food, you lose your urges. When you see yourself in a behavior, you get a compulsion to generate that behavior. So with video lose weight hypnosis, you actually get a compulsion to NOT eat when you watch TV.

But what about Part "A"? Our feelings of tension are created by our thoughts. If you think offensive thoughts, you experience tension and upset. If you think happy thoughts, you feel happy and pleasant.

If you think a disturbing thought while you are working on your computer, your mind can associate that thought with the computer. And thereafter, when you are working on your computer, you have a conditioned response, your mind flashes to that offensive thought and you experience the feeling of tension.

The methods used in video weight loss hypnosis are based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This technology works based on the utilization of a person's existing thought processes instead of post-hypnotic suggestion. With NLP, we use the thought processes that are creating your tension and cravings, to eliminate your tension and cravings.

Video lose weight hypnosis can program your unconscious to use offensive thoughts as a trigger for pleasant thoughts. So if you start to think of something that is offensive, your unconscious will automatically change to a pleasant thought in a millisecond. You become relaxed, so there are no feelings of tension to cause you to feel oral cravings or urges. And when you lose your appetite to overeat, it's easy to lose weight and keep it off permanently. Medical research has proven that all of the popular diets will enable you to lose weight successfully. But it has also proven that most people fail with these diets because they cannot stick to them because their appetite is out of control!
