I started this a few days ago and WOW. obviously no stunning amount of weight yet but my capacity for food and my hunger are just…gone!! For £6.99!

I previously did “I can make you thin” over 10 years ago and had good, long term results. But had lots of ill health etc and raced crept up to over 15st (I’m 5’4”). I suppose I’m just susceptible to hypnosis.

Anyone had any success/bad experiences/interested in this Avenue?

I wish it worked for me! I remember being stunned three days in when I was suddenly eating much much slower than usual. It was noticeable and I couldn't have sped up if I tried. I was so excited but it didn't go any further than that. I'm tempted to try it again and hope for the best.

Is it an app? Sounds promising.

SeenCanary · 26/05/2022 20:03

I bought it on my phone as a book @MrsPelligrinoPetrichor worth a go for me for £6.99 as otherwise looking at Saxenda for £££

@starlingdarling I’d recommend based on the last few days. I’ve eaten barely anything today but feel STUFFED.

This is starting to sound like an advert but seriously it’s working for me.

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor I got it on Amazon Audible. If you haven't used it before you can sign up for a free trial, cancel and still have access to it.

I also bought I Can Make You Thin and it worked really well for me. I deffo believe that the virtual gastric band would work PM is amazing. He cured me of fear of spiders too - after I watched a very short video about making fun of your fears. It showed a cartoon spider dancing. I didn't know it had worked until I saw a spider and felt - nothing.

This sounds really amazing. Can someone give me a bit of a gist of it? Is the audible him just repeating set phrases? Is there a book version you read yourself or do you have to hear him saying it specifically?

I have tried hypnosis once but it did nothing, but need to sort my weight gain out, would like to try it but wondering if my being a bit sceptical would block any progress.

SeenCanary · 26/05/2022 21:28

@glebaisaword You read the book, then listen to the audio (this is essential). You should keep listening to the audio as much as you need to keep you on track.

Thank you @SeenCanary I suppose for £6.99 it's worth a try anyway. Good luck, I hope you keep on having positive results

SeenCanary · 26/05/2022 21:45

Thanks x@glebaisaword

I bought this about a month ago and keep meaning to start.
I gave up smoking a few years back with hypnosis so I know I can be susceptible.
Glad to hear you're doing well on it.

I've just reserved it from my public library- a book that comes with a CD and a DVD.

PeopleRStrange · 30/05/2022 07:07

After reading this thread, I signed up for a free Audible trial and have been listening with my husband. I've fallen asleep with it on mostly, but we are both eating less, and feeling full.

It's really weird, I didn't think this would work, as usually I can eat whether I'm hungry or not. But I'm not bothering about food as much. When I do eat it's good, but I stop when full, which is soon.

SeenCanary · 30/05/2022 07:50

@PeopleRStrange yay! Just about to weight myself….
….15st 4lb before this, now 14st 10lb. In a week. Pretty happy with that.

Wow @SeenCanary , that is amazing. I have just started the programme, finding it strange not to drink with meals. Are you still listening to the hypnosis?

TwoBigNoisyBoys · 15/03/2023 13:02

I’m just starting the programme on Audible and read the accompanying PDF this morning. Was going to start a new thread but came across this one so I’m hoping previous posters might update, hopefully with success stories! 😊
