This Time, Make Sure That Diet Works For You

De-Stress, Sleep Better & Lose Weight Naturally

What is it that makes sticking to a diet and exercise program so difficult? Research suggests a range of interrelated factors, which include stress, lack of sleep and emotional conflict.

Stress

It's all too easy to become overwhelmed by busy work schedules, financial pressures, relationship and family issues. The more anxious you become, the less clearly you're able to think. Combined with constant worry, trying to cram too much into each day is guaranteed to disrupt your sleep. Sleep deprivation seriously reduces your capacity to concentrate, solve problems and work productively, so each task drags out and each problem looms larger. This can quickly become a vicious cycle. Many people make up time with quick take-away or packaged meals and self-medicate their stress with sugar, caffeine and alcohol-all disastrous for a healthy diet.

Lack of Sleep

Healthy adults require 6-8 hours of sleep each night to function to their full potential. These days, so many people get by (but only just) on too little sleep, combating low energy levels with caffeine and sugar hits to push through the day. Not only does this reliance on stimulants further disrupt sleep patterns, it can seriously impact your health.

Overconsumption of refined sugar is the leading factor in the onset of Type Two Diabetes, which has serious and lifelong health implications. A diuretic, caffeine contributes to dehydration and inhibits the uptake of nutrients from food. When the body is low on certain nutrients, it reacts with food cravings-not at all helpful to anyone on a diet.

Emotionally-Charged Eating Habits

Many people are surprised to discover that emotional conflict underlies their unhealthy eating habits. On the surface, it seems that we simply enjoy a strong coffee fix to start the day, indulge ourselves in a mid-morning chocolate bar, partake of a relaxing drink after work, and snuggle up in front of the TV with a comforting snack.

For some, it really is that simple. For many people, however, food indulgences can escalate into an addiction that spirals out of their control, until they find themselves binging on sweets, junk food or alcohol. The difference is the emotional conflict that underlies many people's unhealthy eating habits. Until this conflict is acknowledged and resolved, no amount of calorie counting is going to make a difference.

In addition to following a diet and exercise regime, tackling these three critical success factors can seem an uphill battle. But until you do, every diet is doomed to failure.

A Natural & Empowering Solution?

What if you could de-stress, get a better night's sleep and lose weight naturally?

You can: natural therapies offer a range of holistic approaches to managing stress, improving the quality of sleep and resolving emotional conflict. In particular, many people are turning to hypnotherapy to maintain motivation in their diet and exercise program while reducing stress levels, stabilising their sleep patterns and resolving the inner conflicts that drive their food addictions and unhealthy eating habits.

Applied in a clinical setting, hypnotherapy offers powerful support for people who are determined to lose weight and pursue a healthy lifestyle. Hypnotherapists use a range of effective methods to guide the exploration and resolution of inner conflict. They work with each individual to identify stressors and find ways to reduce stress and improve sleep quality. As well as boosting motivation for overall diet and exercise, hypnotherapists can focus treatment on specific food addictions and eating habits.

Above and beyond weight loss, the resolution of emotional conflict and reduction of stress deliver major benefits in health and wellbeing. The process itself is empowering, with lasting benefits in confidence and self-esteem.
