I've just got back home after spending the day with Paul McKenna and learning his weight loss programme.
Have others had any success or otherwise with it?

did you fancy him?

mckenzie · 10/02/2007 21:16

what makes you ask that Dinny?

just wondered if he did some hypnosis that makes everyone fancy him. I do a bit and don't know why! Suspicious!

mckenzie · 10/02/2007 21:18

I think because he is so confident that perhaps he gives off some imaginary scent because yes, I must admit I did fancy him a tad

wasn't taking the pee - cannot take anything seriously at the mo!

mckenzie · 11/02/2007 18:38

it was a bit like you said though Dimpledthighs in some parts. I felt sure there would have been at least one other Mumsnetter there in amongst the 600 or so people...

well it's only Monday Woooosh but by now normally I would certainly be eating a bar of chocolate as I had a stressful experience with DD at her swimming lesson and I always turn to chocolate to comfort me.
So far... no craving at all.
I listened to the CD last night and plan on listening every night for at least a week adn then I guess every other night for a while or somehting like that.

I have just ordered the his set of CD's from a shopping channel. He said it is 70% successful. I'll let you know how I get on if you like?

tinkerbellhadpiles · 13/03/2007 19:07

I've been doing the CD for a while and so long as I listen to it every night I don't overeat - BUT I slip as soon as I stop and frankly, I'm starting to find it a bit boring and I fall asleep three minutes in (good for my sleep deprivation/bad for my waistline).

I did lose two stone using the CD before though if it's any help.

Which led to me getting pregnant and gaining 30lbs.

Perhaps being a fat unfanciable person has something going for it?

tinkerbellhadpiles · 13/03/2007 19:08

Hi Mckenzie

How much is the seminar these days? I can't go ATM because I'm bf on an almost hourly basis (little sod is so hungry I SHOULD be skinny!)

marmitetoastie · 10/03/2010 21:39

The seminar is £99 in birmingham. I did it twice and gained 2 stone, ha ha ha - just my luck. A lot of people there had lost weight though, but I expect they get in for free. It was £300 when I did it in London.

The confidence thing is called AMOG - alpha male of group. Genetically women are programmed to fancy the Alpha male. So in a group of 500 women there to learn from him, he is naturally the Alpha male, and so more fanciable and also more confident than he would appear in a normal mixed group, where he wouldn't necessarily be the Alpha.

There is a whole school of subliminal hypnosis on picking up women and a key part is about mimicking alpha behaviour and body language - obviously I'm absolutely not suggesting he does this deliberately in his workshop though.

Search online for PUA (pick up artists) if you want to see more stuff on this. There are Utube videos teaching subliminal hypnosis on women, have a look around, it's a bit shocking. Stemmed from a best selling book "The Game" by Neil Strauss. At worst I'd say it's verging on date rape to be honest, although the PUAs call it a bit of "fun".

(I'm a hypnotherapist btw)
