What is Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy?
Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy is a safe and non surgical approach to achieve weight loss naturally through a change of eating habits. Hypnotherapy convinces the brain that the stomach is satisfied after eating a certain amount of food.
The program is carried out over four weeks with each of the four sessions adapted to the needs of the individual. It includes the techniques of hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to encourage weight loss. Virtual Gastric Band is not a diet but provides a way that allows you to eat what you want but in smaller quantities. Since it is not a diet, you should not feel deprived, despondent or hungry.
The Background to Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy
Sheila Granger, the clinical hypnotherapist from Hull who devised the technique, was concerned about the need to encourage permanent weight loss with her clients. Her continued success following a free, three week trial where 24 people lost a total of 14 stone, has been widely reported in the media.
The BBC featured Sheila’s work in their Look North program creating widespread interest in Virtual Gastric Band Hypnotherapy. The film clip can be seen on:
