A friend of mine has had hypnotherapy and has stopped smoking. She thinks the hypnotherapist is brilliant and this woman does weight loss through hypnotherapy. I am very sceptical. I tried Paul Mckennas CD and it worked for a couple of weeks but then it stopped working.

Has anyone tried hypnotherapy for weight loss and did it work ?

i havent personally tried it no but my cousin did and she was convinced that it worked. However two weeks later she was back to her bad habits. I just think it depends on how you are really.

loulabelle222, do you know if she just went once - or did she have a course of sessions ?

i think it was about 3 times that she went and she thought it was fantastic but after the course she lost it within 2 weeks but it may be different for u

I think it's the sort of thing you need to keep at if you want it to carry on.

I had hypnotherapy to stop smoking and it worked,(haven't smoked for over 5 years now) so my mum paid for me to have some to help me with my weight, had a course of 6 and it cost around £300. for some reason it never worked for my weight and have gradually put on another couple of stone.
