Reprogram your eating habits using hypnosis
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
With 30 percent of U.S. adults age 20 and older being obese, some are turning to hypnosis to help them lose weight and change their eating habits.
As Americans gain girth, and yo-yo dieting or diet pills rarely have lasting effects, many are at a loss when it comes to losing weight.
The latest data from the National Center for Health Statistics show that 30 percent of U.S. adults 20 years of age and older --- more than 60 million people --- are obese.
And kids are following suit, with the number of overweight young people tripling since 1980.

Hypnosis is an age-old technique designed to speak to your subconscious mind and alter your behavior.
Judy Lederman has struggled with her weight all her life, and said hypnosis helped her lose 95 pounds.
Her hypnotist, Rosemarie Schulman, uses a two-part process.
First, she gets the patient to understand his or her behavior.
And then, through a relaxed state of mind, she suggests they alter their habits.
"When they are completely relaxed and open to suggestion,'' said Schulman, "then you go into saying things like, 'The sugar cravings you have in the afternoon no longer interest you.
The wonderful smell of fresh fruit, and taste, now interest you and make you feel very strong.'
Three years since Lederman's first session, she now weighs 129 pounds and still works with her hypnotist to maintain her healthy lifestyle.
"I used to go out of my way to find the best bakery or the best cakes or pastries," Lederman said.
"At this point, I would go anywhere to find the best hypnotist, the best gym.
