I LOVE the last technique so much. You can use it for anything you want: a better job, having confidence, improving relationships, making more money, getting a promotion, acing a test. This technique is feeling your way to success!! Thank you Mr McKenna, this is the best walk-thru I've ever heard!

1. If you're genuinely hungry, go and eat. Don't starve yourself
2. Eat what you want, not what you think you should eat (this is applying to all unhealthy/indulgent options).
3. Be mindful with your eating. Chew each bite 20 bites, do it consciously, stop all distractions.
4. When you think you're full, stop. Don't keep eating until you're stuffed and bloated. If you feel satiated, stop eating.

Trick for busting the craving:
1. Think of a food you crave, imagine the feeling.
2. Imagine another food, that you hate and feel disgusted by.
3. Close your eyes and imagine food 1 and how it tastes, then imagine adding in food 2 flavour combining with food one. Add some more disgusting things to it (some hair for example). Continue imagining how this tastes. Then imagine swallowing. Still crave?

Paul McKenna, I’m in love with all your books. You are so inspirational.
My life changed dramatically after I read all the books. I live a rich harmonious life now.
It is all because of your teachings.
I hope I meet you one day.
That’s one of my dreams. 💭
Thank you 🙏

I used to love pastries. Paul has ruined that for me. I did one of his methods and I haven’t been back to the bakery. I’m not saying I can’t eat them but I don’t have the pull anymore. I think of them fondly as something I “used” to enjoy, nostalgic. Like cartoons or kickball. But the thought of eating one croissant, literally makes me gag a little. This is coming from someone who used to gobble two in a row and have room to spare for a freshly baked cookie. I am really astonished.

My parents said to me that they didn’t think it would work. I was determined to prove them wrong, so today, I purposely left food on my plate at dinner as soon as I felt satisfied. I’m determined to do it a lot more.

Paul McKenna,

Thank you for sharing all of this information with us. I will absolutely beg you to start making more trance videos. The counting down from 300 is so genius. Please Paul, your work is the only real hypnosis that actually works, at least for me. I will post in every comment section in all the big meditations channels, that you have done it!

Thank you so much in advance,
Leah

The advertisement ruined the hypnotherapy when it appeared in the middle of the session 😒.

2:08 that is a brilliant insight!! “Overweight folks think about food all day long except when they eat it!!”

By the way, this is how powerful our brains are:

Doing this exercise, just imagining eating a delicious crisp and then out of nowhere it starts tasting like vodka (yuck! Like bloody hand sanitizer!) and as I’m feeling repulsed by that then imagine a clump of hair mixed in there, visualizing the tough, dry, stringy texture going towards my throat. Literally started physically gagging.

Nothing was happening in my mouth and yet I felt actually sick because I visualized something in my head.

So before anyone writes off this kind of hypnotic weird brain stuff, remember that you can literally think yourself into puking.

Paul is the master of his craft … thank you

I got the book on audible, I cant believe the effect on the first day !
I have always been a really fast eater, and have tried so many times to control it, even having a timer beside me and trying to make myself eat l for that long bit it never worked .
My husband finished his meal before me last night, which is unheard of, and the flavours popping in my mouth were astounding !! Even though I was enjoying it so much, I didn't need to eat it all !
I am blown away !!!

[janiecooke]

I won’t be watching this again, as you get disturbed by a loud ad in the middle of a visualization!

"If you starve yourself you will binge" this is so true

Awesome interview. Would love another to continue hearing what more she has to share.

[louismario]

People talk to themselves so badly, “I’m fat” and “I can’t do this”. I absolutely agree, we have to change the mind first before reality will catch up. It’s not delusional, we’re not trying to trick others but our own minds, into who we feel we should be. You can imagine yourself rich but how detailed are you with that image to the point you can feel yourself actually there? People need to have THE mindset for their dream selfs.

I stopped worrying about my weight when I broke the scales

[ChaseTheMoments]

This has clearly come from the 1982 book Diets Don't Work by Bob Schwartz. - Well presented and nice and clear. Thinking like a naturally thin person works really well.

Utube ... how disappointing... the weight loss hypnosis part of the video was interrupted by a biscuit commercial.... so annoying and a stupid act.

[zoemorley]

I do this all time. I physically cannot eat quick but I am still big

[sabinewetzel]

I am 58 now....I never never never met a person with overweight was getting slim....and stayed that way.
