Most people recognize anorexia nervosa (not eating) or bulimia (binge eating followed by purging) as appetite disorders. Not everyone realizes, though, that overeating is another kind of appetite disorder. As the public becomes more aware of the increasing rate of childhood obesity and other problems caused by overeating, though, attitudes toward overeating are changing.
As a result, more people are motivated to try to lose weight through exercise, dieting, and health supplements. Supplements are usually expensive and rarely work. Even when their use does result in weight loss, the majority of people begin to regain the lost weight shortly after stopping the supplement.
Crash diets or fad diets almost never work. People may lose weight briefly. Once again, however, they tend to regain it almost as soon as they end the diet. Furthermore, these diets can be very dangerous as they deprive the body of important nutrients and vitamins. Dieting can be effective, but only when it is a part of a lifestyle and attitude change toward food that is life-changing and lifelong.
Overeating is often used by people as a way to fulfill emotional needs or cope with emotional pain and stress. Effectively treating emotional overeating means correcting the problem at the root of the issue. Merely treating the symptoms won't help; as soon as the individual resolves the first stress-related emotional issue, another will often arise to take its place. The key is to help people by teaching them to stopĀ using food to eliminate stress, and learn to mentally eliminate stress.
Hypnosis offers an effective alternative to standard counseling techniques that simply want to treat the symptoms of emotional overeating. Learn how to treat a mental addiction to food quickly and to eliminate overeating and cravings almost overnight with hypnosis CDs.
