Weight Loss 9 Week Program
This study examines the effect of adding hypnosis to a behavioral weight-management program on short- and long-term weight change. One hundred nine subjects, ranging in age from 17 to 67, completed a behavioral treatment either with or without the addition of hypnosis.
At the end of the 9-week program, both interventions resulted in significant weight reduction. However, at the 8-month and 2-year follow-ups, the hypnosis subjects showed significant additional weight loss, while those in behavioral treatment alone exhibited minimal further change.
More of the subjects who used hypnosis also achieved and maintained their personal weight goals. The study concludes that hypnosis is an effective adjunct to a behavioral weight-management program.
