0:42
Hi, it's Adam here. And in today's episode of The
0:45
Hypnotist, you can be listening to a weight loss hypnosis
0:48
session that utilizes A paleo approach.
0:53
Now the paleo diet or paleo way of eating actually is connected
0:59
to this idea of the Paleolithic period.
1:02
So for a very long period of time, humans were hunter
1:06
gatherers before we collected in groups in towns and villages and
1:14
made farms. Actually, we spent a lot of time
1:18
roaming and looking for food where we can find it.
1:21
And that way of eating actually is a very healthy way of eating
1:26
because you've got lots of movement requires energy to.
1:29
Hunt. Or forage or pick fruit off
1:33
trees. And there wasn't that much fruit
1:34
back then. Going fishing, you know, and
1:38
finding vegetables were quite difficult.
1:41
You would find them randomly. That way of eating meant that
1:45
food was nutritionally dense, there would be lots of gaps
1:49
between eating, there would be lots of movements, and the
1:53
client I was working with liked that way of eating when.
1:57
They. 'D lost weight in the past they
1:58
had that approach. So there is an element in this.
2:01
Of imagining going. Back to that period, we're
2:05
talking period, you know, 1520 thousand years ago, but with
2:11
them carrying now in in the UK, we have this phrase lard, I
2:15
don't know if it's. Exist in the.
2:17
States but lard is kind of 100% animal fat and some people use
2:22
that as a substitute for things like vegetable oil or olive oil
2:25
for cooking, for example, particularly frying things.
2:30
So lard is this 100% fat and you can think of your body fat as.
2:36
Being like. Lard.
2:38
So we calculated they had about 20 kilos, that's the equivalent
2:43
of about 44 lbs of excess body weight they wanted to lose.
2:47
But they imagine that in packets of lard actually on their body,
2:52
but they they could see them, they could visibly see them.
2:55
And then thinking if they were going back in time to that
2:57
period, then actually by eating less but better quality, these
3:05
blocks of lard would be melting away and it would lead to this
3:09
very healthy body shape. And what was wonderful is I
3:13
actually did the session a couple of weeks ago and while I
3:16
was in a conference in Ireland, the Irish Hypnotherapy
3:20
Conference, I got a message from the client saying that they'd
3:22
already lost 6 lbs within about a week of kind of following this
3:28
kind of approach backed up by the hypnosis.
3:31
So what I look for is a combination of hypnosis plus a
3:36
weight loss strategy. Just a weight loss strategy that
3:40
you're not sure if it's going to work means you're probably not
3:42
going to stick to it. And just hypnotherapy without
3:45
following a a proven weight loss strategy isn't helpful anyway.
3:49
You need to be doing something different to get to a certain
3:52
level of result. I love paleo and intermittent
3:57
fasting. Those are the 2 weight loss
3:58
strategies I tend to go to if I want to reduce body fat and
4:02
Paleo was the approach that this client also wanted to utilize.
4:07
So if you like the idea of eating like your ancestors.
4:12
As a way of losing weight and. Looking at your excess body fat
4:16
simply as fuel that your body can learn how to use so that
4:20
when you feel hungry it's not a big deal, it's just training
4:23
your body to burn more fat, you might get a lot out.
4:26
Of this session. It was created for an
4:28
individual. Not all of the suggestions are
4:29
going to resonate with you, That's fine.
4:32
You can just cherry pick the ones that feel like they would
4:35
be more useful for you. But if you do like the idea of a
4:38
bespoke customized session just for you, and we work together to
4:43
achieve whatever your goals are, that could be to lose weight,
4:45
change body shape, break an addiction, whatever it might be.
4:49
There will be a link in the show notes where you can schedule
4:51
that free consultation call over Zoom.
4:54
For now though, find a quiet, comfortable place where you
4:57
won't be disturbed. Relax.
4:59
And enjoy the session. Take a deep breath in and as you
5:43
breathe in, breathe in a resourceful feeling of calm and
5:48
relaxation. And as you exhale, just allow
5:55
any feelings of stress and tension to leave your body.
5:59
And on that outward breath, just allow your.
6:01
Eyelids to close. Allow allow yourself to position
6:05
your body in a way where you can feel comfortable and relaxed.
6:11
Breathing in relaxation, that's it.
6:15
And exhaling tension enabling you to feel deeper and deeper
6:25
relaxed. That's it.
6:31
I want you to imagine a colour that represents pure relaxation,
6:41
a bright colour. Just imagine as you're breathing
6:45
in, you're breathing in that bright colour of pure
6:51
relaxation. And as you exhale, just imagine
6:59
a dark grey colour leaving your body in your outward breath,
7:05
representing any stress, any tension, any worries.
7:12
Allow that to leave your body before breathing in another deep
7:19
breath of that vibrant colour, breathing in that distilled
7:26
relaxation, exhaling tension. The deeper you breathe, the more
7:32
relaxed you become. And the more relaxed you become,
7:38
the deeper you breathe. That's it.
7:44
As your body relaxes, your imagination awakens.
7:49
And I want you to imagine a luxurious pool there by the
7:57
coast in Cyprus. I want you to imagine not just
8:04
enjoying the sunshine, but worshipping the sunshine.
8:12
I want you to imagine how good it would feel to feel like
8:18
you're relaxing on a lounger, already having lost weight that
8:26
you're intending to lose. I want you to imagine this is a
8:31
future version of you. I want you to imagine yourself
8:37
at a particular dress size, wearing a swimming costume in
8:42
that size, and imagine lounging right by the.
8:49
Side of the. Pool Feeling that your muscles
8:53
are toned. Feeling a lightness in your
8:58
body. I want you to feel what you've
9:03
lost in weight, you've gained in confidence, you've gained in
9:09
energy, vitality and well-being. You've not lost anything, you've
9:15
just done a swap. You've swapped excess stored
9:21
energy for wonderful feelings. Feelings that enrich your life,
9:29
make you healthier, make you proud.
9:33
Whenever you see your reflection in a mirror or a window,
9:40
remember this is a future version of you.
9:42
By this pool, your unconscious mind knows how far in the future
9:50
and I want you to imagine thinking about the journey you
9:55
went on to get to this desirable weight.
10:03
I want you to think of a journey that wasn't going on a diet, it
10:11
was just eating good quality foods, real foods, real foods
10:21
and real movement. That's what it took.
10:28
As you imagine feeling more and more relaxed, perhaps in the
10:33
distance, hearing waves breaking on the shore, feeling the sun on
10:41
your skin, melting away any tension.
10:46
I want you to imagine floating back in time, floating back to
10:55
when you were seeing someone in particular growing their own
11:00
foods. Perhaps you could imagine a
11:05
vegetable patch there in a garden.
11:11
I want you to see that that person took pride in what they
11:20
were growing. It wasn't just sunshine and
11:25
rainwater that powered those vegetables and salads.
11:32
It was also care, attention. I want you to get a sense then
11:43
this is real food. Real food is powered by
11:49
sunshine, rainwater and the nutrition of the earth, either
11:56
the soil or the sea. I want you to get a sense then
12:04
eating this way gives your body real energy, real nutrition, but
12:14
it does it in a way where you can't overindulge.
12:24
In the history of mankind, nobody has binged on a salad,
12:31
and even if they did, all that would happen is they go to the
12:37
toilet more often. When you have foods high in
12:43
fibre, filled with distilled water, filled with
12:49
micronutrients, the side effect of eating too much isn't more
12:56
weight, it's simply more digestion.
13:04
I want you to imagine back then seeing that house without
13:10
vegetable patch and imagine next door there was a family that
13:17
only only consumed pastries and cakes and crisps, only consumed
13:27
processed foods. Just imagine over time the
13:34
difference in body shape and health and sickness in those two
13:40
houses. I want you to get a sense that
13:44
if you are what you eat when you eat natural, real foods bursting
13:52
with vitality, you become healthier and more vital when
14:02
you eat foods filled with white poisons of flour and sugar and
14:11
salt. That leads to all kinds of
14:18
deadly diseases, diseases that attack the heart or the liver or
14:29
the whole body. With diabetes, I want you to
14:34
feel that a key is turning a lock inside your mind.
14:42
You don't just want to lose weight, you want to unleash a
14:47
new level of health, Wellness and vitality.
14:55
But let's seek inspiration from further back in time.
15:03
I want to imagine how you would feel going back in time 20,000
15:11
years. Back to the Paleolithic period,
15:17
there were no shops and farms, windmills to turn grain into
15:24
bread. Back then the food that was
15:28
eaten was caught or foraged, picked or plucked.
15:38
This was a time of hunting for food, fishing for food, not a
15:45
time of buying pastries and cakes or crisps in supermarkets.
15:53
I want you to imagine going back to that point in history and
15:58
just observing long lost ancestors.
16:06
These people were like you, but back then.
16:11
No TV commercials filling their brain with the need to have
16:17
sugary drinks. These were people that needed
16:22
food for survival and the only food around was food they worked
16:28
to find, hunt, cook and eat. But I want you to imagine being
16:38
back there at this time with a difference.
16:42
You're taking one thing from the present all the way back then to
16:47
the past. I want you to imagine strapped
16:53
to your body in all different locations are 80 packets of
16:59
lard. Each packet of lard is 250 grams
17:05
of pure animal fat. I want you to imagine that this
17:13
is heavy. The combined weight of these 80
17:18
packets of lard is 20 kilograms, 3 stone of fat you're carrying
17:24
around on your body. It feels like a burden.
17:31
I want you to get a sense. It feels uncomfortable to walk,
17:35
to move, carrying around these 80 packets of lard.
17:43
I want you to get a sense then to begin with, it feels like
17:47
such a big task, but I want you to imagine you just eat like
17:53
your ancestors used to eat. To catch a fish would be a
17:58
celebration. To eat a few vegetables in a
18:02
meal feels wonderful. Imagine their stomach being
18:08
small Back then, because meals were one or two a day and small.
18:14
Nutritionally impactful, but small in quantity.
18:20
They would move every day to hunt, to fish, to forage for
18:25
food. Imagine doing those things with
18:29
them, and after just a few days, that first packet of 80 packets
18:36
of lard disappears. It's just melted away.
18:41
And that gives you a sense of belief that this body fat is not
18:47
fixed. It can change that.
18:51
When you eat healthy, nutritious food, when you move, your body
18:58
can use that body fat as a source of energy, like a power
19:06
bank, a generator of stored energy.
19:12
Imagine a few more days and your stomach has shrunk even smaller.
19:17
Now just even the equivalent of a small plate is enough to feel
19:23
you're no longer hungry. Notice a sense of gratitude for
19:29
whatever food you eat, and whatever you eat seems like it's
19:34
enough. But unlike your ancestors,
19:40
you've got all of this stored energy ready to use.
19:44
As the days turn into weeks, there are less and less of these
19:51
packets of lard. They seem to be melting away,
19:55
slowly but surely. I want you to imagine.
20:03
As weeks turn into months, they get less and less, which means
20:07
you feel lighter, you feel with more energy.
20:12
And the more energy you have, the more you can move.
20:15
And the more you move, the faster these packets of lard
20:20
also melt away. I want you to imagine eating
20:27
grilled fish, fish that was cooked on a fire.
20:33
Tastes incredible, feels filling, maybe just having the
20:42
odd piece of fruit, and it just seems to satisfy and satiate any
20:48
hunger that living this way. You feel healthier, you sleep
20:56
better with more energy, and week after week these packets of
21:04
lard melt away and just speed up time until it's been a few
21:10
months. Just imagine there is only one
21:15
packet of lard left. I wonder how motivated you would
21:20
be to continue to only eat when you're hungry.
21:26
Just two meals a day. Small but nutritionally
21:31
impactful. I want you to get a sense then
21:38
there is no need to eat for energy if you've already got
21:42
energy in your body, your body fat is your energy.
21:48
You only need to eat for nutrition.
21:52
Imagine eating berries. Imagine eating lean proteins or
22:02
eggs cooked in a particular way. This is more than enough to
22:07
satiate your hunger, to give your body the nutrients it needs
22:13
to train your body to continue burning fat.
22:18
And just imagine that very last packet of lard is now melted
22:23
away. And I want you to imagine back
22:27
then, 20,000 years ago, there are no mirrors.
22:33
But imagine a lake and looking at yourself in the lake and
22:38
seeing your reflection, seeing that you've lost 3 stone of body
22:43
fat. But what you've lost in body
22:46
fat, you've gained in health, vitality, confidence and energy.
22:54
And if this feels like a winnable strategy, let me know
22:57
by nodding your head. That's it.
23:01
So just imagine taking that thought back with you back there
23:07
to that lounger by a pool in a hotel in Cyprus.
23:12
And as you leave the lounge, just imagine walking barefoot on
23:17
the sandy beach, feeling comfortable in your own skin,
23:24
feeling light, feeling energetic, feeling inspired to
23:31
do this not for anyone else, but you unlock all of the
23:37
determination and tenacity you need, not to be perfect, but to
23:43
make slow and steady progress. You are not on a diet.
23:50
You are changing the food you eat when you're not on a diet.
23:55
The everyday foods, They get smaller, but more nutritional.
24:02
No need for breakfast if you don't feel like it.
24:05
You are training your body to be underfed and overnourished,
24:13
giving your body what it needs to use that excess energy stored
24:19
in your cells as the very fuel to reduce your hunger even more.
24:29
I want you to get a sense then. What you're imagining right now
24:34
is a statement of intent that you will be there by that pool
24:42
and on that beach at this weight that you're imagining right now
24:46
at some point in your future. This.
24:53
This is not a possibility. This is your destiny.
25:00
These are now the coordinates of a destination that your
25:04
unconscious is guiding you towards.
25:09
Through your hunger levels, through your cravings, through
25:12
your choices. It is guiding you to this place.
25:19
With that destination in mind, it's time to return to the
25:22
present. Take a deep breath in through
25:24
your nose and out through your nose.
25:27
Just wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.
25:29
Start to calibrate and connect with the here and the now as I
25:32
now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken you.
25:36
Starting to count 123 waking up 456 more alert. 7-8.
25:44
Open your eyes. Open your eyes 910 Wide awake,
25:49
Wide awake. Wide awake.
