Healthy Weight Loss

Virtual Gastric Band Technique

Weight Control

Weight Control – requires the management of what you put into your body.  If you or somebody you care about has reached the point where help is needed, the first thing we need to say is that you can relax – we have all the help you’ll need. The way to deal with such a situation is to eat 3 to 5 times a day, drink lots of water and put less food into your body than it needs so that it will have to use the excess body fat to maintain its energy level throughout the day.

The key to maintaining a healthy weight or to successfully tone up and shape up (attaining successful weight loss) is a healthy eating habit coupled with regular exercise. Saying that, sometimes people still find themselves in need of a little extra help and hypnotherapy is the ideal tool to support such a weight management regime. As well as hypnotherapy providing the psychological tools needed to help you identify and achieve your ideal weight, we will also monitor, support and work with you until you achieve your goal.

A New New Perspective On Weight Loss and Dieting

Weight loss and dieting are two words used extensively when we look at adjusting our body image. In our experience, most people are more interested in what they look like when they look in the mirror, and how others see them, than losing weight. Therefore we believe when someone comes to see us for weight loss, they are there to tone up and shape up their body, so that when they look in the mirror they feel good about what they see, which increases their feel good factor and well-being.

That is why we focus their attention on weight management rather than weight loss. And the fundamental question we ask all clients who come to us for weight loss is;

“If you could look in the mirror and see the figure and shape that you that you desire right now – but still weighed the same – would your weight be a problem?”

Every time we ask this question, the resounding answer we get is “NO”

There are many reasons why a person can gain weight and then allow it to get out of control.  Some impacting factors are genetic, age- and genderrelated and psychological factors, as well as the aftermath of pregnancy, taking medication, illness, or even quitting smoking.  In many of these situations, there can be a degree of underlying emotional stress, which when recognised, can certainly be addressed as part of a holistic approach – there is help at hand!

The most important factor in weight control is: what we put in, we get out.

So, if we put more into our body than it requires, it will simply store the excess as fat.

If you starve yourself or have a very long period of time between meals, your system will go into survival mode, which means that any food you then eat will be stored to create a fat reserve for lean times.

But if you put into the body just what it needs, you will maintain the balance with in your body for stability and harmony.

About Vernon Harris

From an early age Vernon displayed intuitive concern and empathy towards those with problems. He is a qualified teacher and lecturer, with over eighteen years experience in higher education. His own life took a dramatic turn in 1975 when he personally experienced the power of hypnosis. This proved to be a turning point and a trigger that set him on a path of exploration. Vernon recalls that discovering the breadth and value of complementary therapies was like opening a door into a bright new world of possibilities.

"Vernon’s skill, patience and insight is more than just his professionalism, it is a gift. Seeking help from Vernon Harris was a gift that I gave myself to be whole and healthy and ready to move forward with my life. It was the right decision to put my trust and faith in him. I can honestly say that I have now found the love for myself that was missing and I am happy! At last I now feel ready to move forward with my life and know that I will be able to cope with it’s up’s and downs from a more open perspective."

Sue Thompson

"I recently lost a lot of weight very quickly, which while being a fantastic achievement unfortunately left me with some serious body image issues.  I was also holding on to past experiences which were stopping me moving on from being the person I was to enjoying and living my life in the here and now.  However, the work I have done with Vernon using insight meditation and self-hypnosis has had a huge impact on how I think about myself and how I live my life."

Deborah Bass

"Truly remarkable as to what can be achieved using his techniques.Although confident before I was clearly being held back by issues from the past and as a result these issues have been released and I now believe in myself and that anything is possible. I have a positive outlook on life and I most definitely am in control to the extent where I am having a positive effect on anyone that I come into contact with including my partner, friends, Family and in my professional life."
