Have you had it with dieting? Do you take off a couple of pounds, and gain back more? Do you get your hopes up every time a "miracle" diet comes down the pike, only to find out that you still can't beat your cravings and urges?

What you really need is a diet that lets you take weight off by sitting in front of the TV. Think it's a fantasy? Go on and keep reading.

You have read and probably heard the statistics: We as a society are getting fatter than ever. From young child to old adult, the stats tell the tale: Obesity is epidemic. Why?

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

How did this come about? What could possibly have such a powerful, insidious result on so many millions of people? The answer is sitting in your living room. It is your television.

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

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

What is happening 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 television screen is zoomed in on the candy bar so it dominates the entire television screen. You practically see 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 stored deep in your subconscious when you watched TV commercials long ago. Can you see how influential 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 is the alpha level of consciousness. You pass through this dream like state of mind as you fall asleep at night. And you pass through it again as you wake up in the morning. Research has verified that if you watch much television, you are in this alpha state for two-thirds of your viewing time. What can you do to overpower this indoctrination?

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

If you have read this far and you still think that I am jesting, I promise you that I'm not! Video lose weight hypnosis is a reality 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 cravings and oral urges for two main reasons: A. When a man feels tense, he feels compelled to put something into his 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 70% of our population learns much more quickly and easily by seeing, rather then by what they hear. Think about it: If you sense an urge to eat or smoke as you watch television, it is because your subconscious mind recorded the video image of either food in your hand, or a cigarette in your hand, and then associated that mental image, with the mental picture of the TV. From that point on, every time that you watch TV, your unconscious mind flashes the mental image of the food or cigarette in your hand, and you get cravings and urges.

So you have actually "programmed" your subconscious mind 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 erase the conditioned responses. It will retrain your subconscious to have the TV (or whatever) trigger subconscious images of you watching the TV without eating.

When the video weight loss hypnosis makes you lose your subconscious 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 will 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 distressing thoughts, you feel stressed and upset. If you think cheerful thoughts, you feel happy and blissful.

If you think an upsetting thought while you are doing work on your computer, your mind can associate that thought with the computer. And thereafter, when you sit down at your computer, you have a conditioned response, your mind flashes to that distressing thought and you feel tense.

The techniques 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 Neuro-Linguistic Programming, 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 mind to use distressing thoughts as a trigger for soothing thoughts. So if you start to think of something that is distressing, your unconscious will automatically change to a soothing thought in a millisecond. You become relaxed, so there are no feelings of tension to cause you to feel oral urges and cravings. And when you lose your appetite to overeat, it is easy for you 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 those diets because they can't stick to them because their appetite is out of control!
