Obesity caused by eating too Quickly
Research conducted by the University of Osaka in Japan has confirmed what we have always suspected: people who eat too quickly are more likely to be overweight.Sometimes this behaviour was learned at an early age. It is often found that hypnotic suggestions for eating more slowly can help overweight clients reduce food intake, whilst incorporating hypnotic regression and EMDR may eradicate negative eating patterns learned in childhood

Thinking Makes you Fat!
People who engage in complex intellectual tasks consume more calories than required. Research carried out at the Universite Laval, in Quebec, explained that such tasks resulted in larger fluctuations in both glucose & insulin levels,and that this, coupled with the sedentary lifestyles many of us now lead, may contribute to the current obesity epidemic.

THE FACTS ABOUT OBESITY
The World Health Organization predicts there will be 2.3 billion overweight adults in the world by 2015 and more than 700 million of them will be obese. But obesity is not just a problem for adults - the spread of obesity among children is also alarming experts. Experts are worried that the increase in obesity will lead to more health problems as people who are overweight have a higher risk of heart disease, Type II diabetes and other diseases including some cancers. Around 58% of all adults in the UK who are over 18 years of age are either overweight or obese. Over 230 million people across Europe attempted a diet in 2002. Of these less than 2% will succeed in sustaining their weight loss for over a year. In the past 10 years it's estimated that around 70 per cent of the adult female population and 30 per cent of all adult males have been on a diet and most dieters end up bigger than they were before they started dieting.

The Facts
The World Health Organization predicts...
- there will be 2.3 billion overweight adults in the world by the year 2015
- more than 700 million of them will be obese
But obesity is not just a problem for adults. The spread of obesity among children is also alarming experts, who are worried that the increase in obesity will lead to more health problems later as the overweight have a higher risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and other diseases including some cancers.
- Around 58% of all adults in the UK are either overweight or obese.
- Over 230 million people across Europe attempt a diet each year, and of these less than 2% will succeed in sustaining their weight loss for more than a year.
- In the past 10 years it's estimated that around 70 per cent of the adult female population and 30 per cent of all adult males have been on a diet, and most dieters end up bigger than they were before they started dieting.
Research shows that no matter what your size, diets make you hungry and create powerful cravings for the very foods you are trying to avoid: sugar and fat. Many people gain weight because they turn to food for emotional comfort or to cope with negative feelings like anger or loss. Dieting doesn't solve the problem of emotional eating. If anything, it makes people more depressed because it becomes one of the issues that cause overeating. And losing weight can make things worse, because people have to cope with the pressures and expectations of their new body shape.
