The Self-hypnosis Diet: Use the Power of Your Mind to Make Any Diet Work for You Customer Reviews:
Lost weight, started sleeping better
I have been using these CD's for a couple of months now. My weight is gradually dropping, which is what I wanted and expected. The surprise has been that in the aftermath of a highly stressful change in my life, the hypnosis sessions are helping me to reduce anxiety and to sleep better. I love the emphasis on a healthy lifestyle.
Great tool to learn self-hypnosis, relaxation and visualizing your personal "makeover"
I was taught self-hypnosis years ago by a good friend and once you learn how to put yourself in a state of deep relaxation, you can work on reshaping your thoughts. All action starts as thought, and results come from beginning by visualizing and thinking positively. I wish I had remembered this technique sooner, but I did buy a copy of this CD and I'm so pleased to be able to relax and focus using Gurgevich's method of trance. Gurgevich is an associate of Andrew Weil, MD, the well-known holistic physician, and he is an expert in hypnotic techniques.
There are three CD's. The first one explains self-hypnosis. This explains how beliefs, stress, nervousness and tension inhibit your motivation and strength in completing your "total makeover." By "makeover", Dr. Gurgevich means making over your mind so you can make over your dietary habits and health habits.
The second CD focuses on healthy habits. There are various self-hypnosis tracks for self-love and acceptance, self-control and temptation, emotional barriers and also detractors and saboteurs.
The third CD has you do three half-hour sessions of self-hypnosis. Morning is done before breakfast to motivate you and energize you for the day while keeping you in a state of calmness. The second trance is intended for before dinnertime--to help you enjoy preparing and eating dinner and handling hunger and craving. The final trance is meant to be done before bed (or in bed.) Dr. Gurgevich guides you on relaxation that affirms your good habits and encourages deep and relaxed sleep. This track is my favorite and actually, I started listening to it first, because I knew it would remind me how to regain a self-hynosis state most easily. Plus I have time before bed.
It was frankly more difficult to carve out two more half hour session for the morning and dinnertime tracks--but rescheduling for relaxation isn't a bad thing. I found those three half hours.
Some reviewers have commented they don't find Dr. Gurgevich's voice soothing. I actually agree with that. At first, I found his voice not at all to my liking but as I perfected my ability to go into relaxation state, I found his tone quite appealing. It makes me smile now. He drops his volume at just the right time, and he is quite effective in teaching how to go into trance or self-hypnotic state. If you've purchased this set, my suggestion is to stick with it and concentrate on the relaxation techniques and enjoy the feeling, because you may associate Gurgevich's light tenor with very pleasant relaxing half hours, as I do.
The three-a-day trance sessions do not have a tremendous amount of suggestion about self-affirmation or eating habits--they are more about relaxation and focusing on your "total makeover"--which you visualize using the second CD. Once you've fixed in your mind what your "total makeover" looks like (eating healthy foods, relaxing, working out, ignoring temptation and naysayers) you can cue into the visualization during these sessions as a sort of "short-cut" when the word "makeover" is used. So you need to spend some time doing visualization of YOUR makeover first, and then you will find the three-a-day half hours have more meaning.
I find I'm more energized when I wake up to do my workout, and I also find I sleep much better and more deeply if I listen to the evening session regularly. I'm taking this stepwise--you can always go back, re-visualize the "makeover" and make it more particular to your situation (more healthy foods, editing out other ones, more working out, whatever you need to step up your game.) This isn't necessarily a linear set of CD's. You visualize what you need, then use the daily practice to relax and focus your mind on your goals and habits. It takes, they say, sixty days to impress an new habit into your mind, so you'd have to give it time.
So far, I love the relaxing effect and I recommend this set for people serious to learn self-hypnosis and visualization. It is not a "listen-and-lose-weight-effortlessly" instant pill. You will not lose weight by simply playing this in your CD player as background noise. This requires a committment, but it's well worth it.

I have not had enough time to devote to the CD since purchase but it is of excellent quality and I believe I have already touched on some emotional work, thanks to the program, that will help me to move past the weight issues I am having. Thank you!
Amazing! It helps you take a positive approach to wt. loss!
I wasn't sure what to expect with this CD, as I have never listened to a self-hypnosis tape before. I was pleasantly surprised! It is so relaxing that I feel that the "de-stressing" benefit I get at the end of the day is an additional plus. The number one thing I like about this CD is the section that has you focus on being positive about your weight loss goals. Instead of getting up every morning and looking in the mirror and thinking negative thoughts about myself, now I focus on the positive---seeing myself as where I want to be in the future. It was amazing how these words really sink in. I highly recommend this CD!
