The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, in cooperation with the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases, led a study that provides strong evidence of the many benefits of weight management. They found that weight loss in overweight and obese individuals reduces:

• Risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
• Blood pressure in both overweight hypertensive and non-hypertensive individuals.
• Serum triglycerides and increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol; and generally produces some reduction in total serum cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
• blood glucose levels in overweight and obese persons without diabetes;
• blood glucose levels and HbA1c in some patients with Type-2 diabetes
• and just a 5 % weight loss lowers breast cancer risks by over 30%
  

Logically we know if you move your body more and eat less, you will reduce weight. Easy, right? Unfortunately, wrong!

With billions spent annually on weight loss products and services and the growing need for effective weight management solutions, many hypnotherapists are choosing to be part of this exciting opportunity by focusing their practice on weight management hypnotherapy. Even hypnotherapists who see clients for other issues find that a significant percentage of their clients have weight management concerns.

The statistics and trends indicate that weight management issues will continue to be around for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the wise and successful hypnotherapist is trained and comfortable in providing clients with the most effective hypnotherapy protocols for weight management issues.
